| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Latinsamba, there is a lot of good equipment out there, and the Tron pre-amp may be a good piece, but unfortunately, Vinyl caught you with your pants down. You heard two "systems" and liked one better than the other. You cannot surmise much from t... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Congrats Bug. Samsons on order? | |
| Fried Monitor 7 Opinions Rfogel8, based on your definition, all the audio companies I work with (TRL, Intuitive Design, Fried) are "out of business." They are by definition small batch, boutique manufacturers. That is where you find the best, most cutting edge gear IMO.As... | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Vinyljh, I agree. I myself have participated in that same presumptuous and fickle behavior. An older audiophile friend of mine said, in regards to speakers, to live with them for at least a year before moving on. Along those same lines, you had re... | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps VInyljh, I presume you are a Shindo dealer.... | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Latinsamba1, tell us more why you opted for the Tron. What were the Shindo pre's lacking in your rig? | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Vinyljh, thanks for the data. I did not know that the Shindo pre referenced also uses output transformers. Very interesting. Well, that makes the logic behind Knghifi's decision even more interesting. | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Silbelius, I share mirror sentiments about the Dude. It injects a fluidity and ease that I believe is a derivative of Paul's proprietary tube regulated power supply and essentially unlimited bandwidth. Most pre-amps I have listened to (in my syste... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Steve, I would call Paul W for more explicit details. The Dude has gone up against some top $ pre-amps and done well. You have to remember that TRL has been in business as long or longer than some of the bigger names you mentioned, and is not a jo... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I have not. I have used both Herbie's tenderfeet on a dedicated rack as well as Equirack footers. Both are good. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Yeah Sutts, the LL is a funny name. Interestingly, the Little Lebowski has morphed into a transformerless OTL amp. This will be a TRL first from what I understand. Should be interesting. Gary Anderson (aka Glory) will be the first recipient. | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Rshnicle, very nice system.... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Sgr, a Dude owner named Huy (who lives in Dallas) A+B'd the Dude with the AR reference anniversary pre-amp. I will let you talk to him about his findings. I heard about them second hand and do not want to speak amiss. Paul Weitzel at TRL can give ... | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps There are two Dude owners in Dallas. One is Gallant_diva: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vaslt&1066703453&openmine&zzAgear&4&5#AgearThere is another new Dude owner in Dallas who just replaced his Lamm pre-amp with a Du... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Sgr, why are you asking? Are you unhappy with your Ref3? What other pre-amps have you heard/demo'd and why did you choose the Ref3? |
