Hey gang, sorry to clog up the FM with multiple threads....but I'm going to try and separate the things.

So, yeah, the Dodd. It's awesome. Everyone says so. Well reviewed. I'm *this* close to pulling the trigger on the integrated I want and to that end, I need money. $1500 will do it. So, here it is, the one and only price drop. 1500 shipped (lower 48). If you want to come pick it up here...that's cool too.

Again, this is a destination piece. It's radically different that anything you heard and as such takes some time to adjust. Check out the review on steremojo, he sums it up nicelly.

I even took pics....bottom line, I need to move this to keep TLW happy. If the boss isn't happy, nobody's happy.

Oh, as far as the Heaths go....I'm having some sellers remorse. If I sell, I'll kick myself for it so I'm going to hang on to them for the time being.

    Good on you for keeping the Heaths... I would sell off everything in my rig before I could part with the Carver Statements... to have a once in a lifetime piece, that there are only one of, is a hard thing to walk away from.

    Would it be worth selling the Dodd MLP that I have in order to move to the one that you have?
    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

    John,

    I hear you, man. I just don't think I could pull the trigger on the Heaths. Thing is, nobody would pay what I think they are worth...

    I've heard the MLP....I think that the Battery Pre is far and away superior.
