Doshi Jhor tube monoblock power amps. These retailed for $19K a pair when released 15 years ago.Reference audiophile gear.Reviews of these amps at RMMF 2011 were glowing. (Pun intended.)Sonically excellent condition with a few minor cosmetic blemishes.Full compliment of signal and power tubes included for both monoblocks.I will ship with the original crates to get these to you safely after purchase.I prefer to ship by Uship. Shipping price quoted by zip code.If you made it this far in the ad, here is an excerpt from a review."But stealing the show were the $18,995 Doshi Jhor monoblock tube amplifiers and $14,995 Doshi Alaap V2.1 Full Function preamplifier. While Doshi isn't exactly a household audio name, you can take it to the bank that you'll be hearing more from this company down the road. Nick Doshi cut his teeth in the audio realm as head engineer for Tribune Television and more recently has been seriously involved in the designing of his own line of electronics line. Doshi's philosophy is very straightforward: simple, elegant designs, best parts, as short a signal path as possible while retaining the warmth, purity, and dynamics of tube based electronics. The "little" 90 watt push-pull EL34 based Jhor monoblock amplifiers had no problems driving the Sashas."Reviews:
At US$6,000, this Doshi Jhor 90-watt tube monoblock listing is a fair deal, matching the median used price of US$6,000 from your ground-truth database, though it sits well above the typical bargain threshold of the 25th percentile, also US$6,000. For this price point, the obvious alternative is a used solid-state amplifier, but the Doshi offers the harmonic richness and dynamic headroom unique to tube designs, especially with its flexible tube compatibility for EL34, 6550, and KT88.
This is a worthwhile buy because Doshi monoblocks are well-regarded for their robust power delivery—minimum 160W at 4 ohms—and clean, linear sound that excels across rock, jazz, and orchestral genres. The flexibility to swap tubes like EL34 for midrange warmth or KT88 for clarity and headroom adds meaningful upside, making this a rare, original-owner opportunity in good used condition with no noted failure points or missing accessories.

Doshi Audio: Brand Overview
Doshi Audio was founded in 2006 by Nick Doshi, a former recording engineer with decades of experience capturing live performances. The company emerged from Doshi's hobby of building audio equipment for friends in the New York/New Jersey audiophile community, which eventually attracted international interest. What began as a personal passion evolved into a formally structured business dedicated to translating the nuances of the original musical event into the listening room. The brand is handcrafted in America and remains owner-operated by its founder.
The company specializes in high-end tube amplifiers and preamplifiers, with a focused product range that includes full-function preamplifiers, line stages, and phono stages. Doshi's engineering philosophy emphasizes precision transformer design—notably the 31-position volume control transformer developed through collaboration with Brian Sowter—and meticulous attention to signal integrity. The Evolution Series represents the company's current amplifier line, reflecting ongoing refinement of their core design principles.
Doshi Audio occupies the premium boutique segment of high-end audio, known for uncompromising sound quality and reliability rather than mass-market appeal. The brand has cultivated a strong reputation among discerning audiophiles seeking components that prioritize fidelity to the source material and trouble-free operation. With a deliberately limited product range and handcrafted manufacturing approach, Doshi Audio positions itself as a niche manufacturer for serious music lovers willing to invest in equipment designed for a lifetime of musical satisfaction.
