King,
Pic is up and running on the BLACK FP of the TRL OTL 70W Little Lebowski.
Hey Brian can I get a pic of the top/sides?
Ok Bug man you're up. |
Dude Grannyring,
That's alot of pre amps you have heard/owned.
A big tip for you. Get the SP-101 and PUT IT ON THE FLOOR, and set the Dude on it. What three days of listening and report back. If not the SP-101, then take the SP-1 and put it on the floor (earth) and report back. The Dude will be an even bigger Dude.
Sistrum stands work best on top of each other or on the floor. It looks like you have it on some other stand? |
How long to build the dude?
The first sound presence mk3 is on my short list with the dude. I have the atma sphere s30 amp. |
Granny,
Did your friend feel the same as you? |
TV,
You may be the champ in the area of selling/buying pre-amps here on the 'Gon.
Did not the AN amp/pre you sold jell with the AN speakers you have? |
Because the Dude comes in a very ugly box like the Audio Note stuff.
No big review by the review gods.
No Stereophile/AS ads.
To cheap.
A hidden gem found by a few like the KOG. Hidden from the proud and arrogant but revealed to babes. |
When I get back to Seattle I am going to pay P&B a visit and talk audio/Kingdom. They are very friendly and great to work with. There is much to learn from them and I feel I have much to give back but in another field.
GD,
I still crack up when you broke in on a someone's review of a pre amp and said it sucked and the Dude made it sound broken or something like that. I thought what a wise ass for doing that to this member that so loved his new pre amp. That got me thinking that you must have heard right to pop off like that so I wanted to hear for myself and bought the Dude. I am done with buying/selling pre amps and thank you I don't have to try 10 different pre amps to find what I hear in the Dude. You rock and I owe you one. Going to RMAF? If so I owe you a dinner/drink or organic salad. |
Bug,
If TRL says 3 weeks then 3x3 and you are almost there LOL but the wait will be worth it.
My Dude is going to be together with the Little Lebowski stereo amp. 175W SS to drive my 101dB Zu speakers. I will hold on to the Atma Sphere S30 to make sure the LL kicks the living snot out of the AS.
I am doing the LL amp because you Samson owners rave about how great it is. You were right on the Dude and I hope your are right on the SS amps from TRL. |
The 12sx7 is one heck of a tube in the Dude.
GD,
Did you try the RCA 12SX7?
Is this the Marconi tube to get?
NOS / NIB Chrome Top Marconi 12SN7GTB Vacuum Tubes Pair
|
Yes sir, the CV181 does sound as good as the TS RP. Both are running in my AS S30 amp.
Paul is now making me a OTL amp in place of the SS amp I wanted. I do believe it should out run my AS S30. |
93,
What wire are you using for IC's?
The Aluminata would be nice, yes? |
Bug,
Put the Pic on your system pics under tweeks and we can see it from there. |
Come on Bug you are killing us making us wait for a pic of your Blue Dude. |
I want a Ferrari red Dude with an external PS. . |
My OTL ships out this week also?????
Bugblue,
You can't get your Dude before my OTL. |
Stick the Dude on a garbage can and it will smoke all HE pre amps. |
The Dude will destroy the AR Ref line. Good but not great. |
Bluebug,
Did the Dude make it?' |
Take some pics.
Wait for some real amps.
|
Bluebug,
Are you wired with 12sn7? If so get the RCA 12sx7 tube. It will kill the ones shipped to you. |
I wonder if he likes it??
What high $$$ unit has the Dude gone up against and was as good or better in all areas?
Mine are Audio Note M3/ Red Wine ISAbella. No contest.
Would like to know how it did next to the Arc 40 year Anny. unit. |
