Here comes the Dude. What to expect?

Indeed. Back to the music collection.....enjoy.

Gary, nice poetic review...reminds me of the new "flarf" school of poetry where they throw odd word combinations at Google and then transcribe the results. It is stark contrast to your more traditional, detailed footer description. Any current impressions? What did the Dude add to your system that your previous pre did not?

Tuongsy, it could sound very good, but there is only one way to find out. I was interested in the Clarity MRs and Mundorf Supremes and eventually decided on 22 uF supremes in the output stage. Give it a try and let us know. Another friend uses the V-caps in his Musical Design pre-amp output stage and likes them very much....

I would give the Dude a whirl (or at least try to hear one)....

C5vette, that is sweet. That beast will take a while to break in due to the cap sizes involved. You are in for a treat. The new chassis looks stellar...keep us posted....

So Jason, no need for that Charlotte demo? lol. Good decision....keep me posted....
