Anyone tried an Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX in their TRL DUDE preamp?

Thanks Bill.   How's your back been?  I've had back problems since I was 38 (64 now).

It sounds like #2 on your list would be the most improvement in sound--BUT, I'm guessing the most expensive one.  I do have the Dueland caps in my DUDE which also has the 4 inputs and remote.  I am using the black base Marconi tubes and have a couple other sets to use.  How much money is the #2 upgrade?  There are quite a few of the TC Clarity caps shown in the advertiser you sent me.  I already have the AM Pulse Gen ZX but haven't installed it yet. Thinking of getting another one for my Modwright 5400. 

Thanks for the info,
Bob

Thank you, Brownsfan.  I'm going to try your last point and see.  I should be able to do the same thing with the DUDE.  I'm sure there would be an extra benefit overall by using a Pulse Gen in both the DUDE and the MW Sony.

Bill,
    Roughly, what would be the cost of all the upgrades you mentioned if I were so inclined?

Oh, I forgot.  Just ordered 5 SR Blue fuses for my MW CD, Whest phono, and Nuforce amps.  I've never put any after market fuses anywhere up 'til now--been waiting and reading to see if anyone's having any problems with blowing fuses at all.  Seems if the amp rating is correct, there is no more a problem than with the standard fuses--shut things off during storms and hope you don't have a power outage in the neighborhood for any reason.  I keep things on 24/7 except for the storms and going out of town and just an occasional turnoff.

Going from standard to the Blue fuses in one jump should be a remarkable improvement according to my friends who use the SR Black fuses and have continually upgraded as the fuses improve.   I'm excited at the coming possibilities.

Hey brownsfan & grannyring,

I finally put the Pulse Gen ZX into my Modwright 5400 yesterday.  Yes, I know I've had it for 10 months sitting in my room.  Been making a few slight voicing changes with wiring and came up with an awesome combo using 3 different makers of cables in just my ICs and SCs.   At this point, I've changed 2 key PCs and have finally achieved the organic, natural sound of instruments while still keeping the transparent, dynamic and detailed sound I already had.  I'm finished with getting the voicing done.

Back to the Pulse Gen ZX.  It was pretty easy to place in the crowded MW player near the IEC.  The sound is even better in all areas without any drawbacks that I hear so far.  May get another one for the DUDE.

A couple of parts upgrades to what I already own is the only plans for the future.  Upgrades to my DUDE and Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps.  From what I've been told by previous owners of the mentioned upgrades, I'm in for quite the treat.  No change in the actually house sound of the components.

Thanks for your helpful comments!
