Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps


I am in the market to look for a tube preamp. I have narrow down my choices to Tube Research Labs Dude and a comparable price Shindo Labs.

Can anybody provide me your experience to help me to make a better decision? Better yet, have anybody compared them side by side before?

Thank!

So all the Dude/Shindo boys will write in and praise their units using the same thoughts used in other threads that they have already posted. I am sure you have read them all.

Why these two preamps? Because you read all the hype?

Buy and try. Start with the Dude because it .....
Chucky,

Get out of your play pen and start walking and acting like a grown man. No room for cry babies here and members are tired of your alligator tears.

Ship your blinkin Dude to TRl and have them sell it to a more worthy owner.

You are a Bitter Dude LOL
Chuck,

Did TRL offer to sell the unit for you? No Pinocchio movements on us now.

Did you call Paul before your cut throat rage in the forums?
I have a Dude and TRL is currently making me an OTL amp.

The Dude pre amp has been a positive ride for me and I am not on the TRL payroll LOL.

I hope the OP gets to hear one. He will piss his pants in laughter when he hears how great it sounds. Right Chuck? Come on now I know you can say something positive about the sound.

Agear and Granny got my attention with their praise of the Dude and I bought it with their help.
