Charles1dad - just swing by and I'll let you borrow my Dude for a comparison. I'm in Canton. 
Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7
I did not care for the BT CV181's in the Dude. Found them to be way too soft and laid back. Am using Sylvania GTA's or GTB's and they are much more to my liking. 
Review: TRL, Inc. Dude & Samson Tube preamp
There were quite a few jaws dropping as they heard Salk HT2TL's like they have never heard them before. The TRL gear made for some sweet sounds!http://alhull.com/hemi2011/One fellow left me an Aesthetix Janus $10k preamp to try out. What a dog! I ...

I'm having a GTG on the 22nd with about 40 folks coming. Primarily an HT meet, but since I have the 2 channel room as well, this gets equal foot traffic.I'll report back what folks thought of the TRL gear. Everything is hooked through a BPT BP2 no...

Yes, I have a dedicated 20 amp circuit using VH Audio cryo'd 10 ga Romex feeding Maestro outlets. I have so little noise I am not planning to look into new grounding schemes.

I did roll in some GE 6SN7 GTB's that added some spark to the Dude. I've been tempted to try those Shuguang Black Treasure CV181-Z's.

Saygrr, the HT2 TL's have all the features you want in a mid-priced speaker. This pair was a demo pair for shows and have many road miles on them. I picked them up from Jim to tide me over until I could afford Soundscapes. There are no upgrades in...

RED!!! I've got some tubes coming for mine to try out. It's all broken in now.Yeah, the Tx in this thing puts most power amps to shame. Hand wired, no PCB's, what's not to love? 
Review: TRL, Inc. GT-200 Tube amp
Pretty cool to be able to say you have surpassed the likes of a Krell. I'll have to drive down and have a listen sometime. Seems like an abundance of TRL owners have flocked in to make comments. Now if we could just convert some more folks into go...

Samsons are here!! I updated my system pages with some photos. Once broken in I will have to review the amps. 
Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
Paul says he has reconsidered and decided to continue and make Samsons after the outcry when he said he would discontinue them. He also has ordered enough electronic components to build and service them for the next 20 years.

A very mint pair of PS Audio Delta 250 mono-blocks I found on here but sold by a local who was original owner. OBM and not a scratch on them. 
Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
About 200 hours and counting. Added some Triode Wire PC's to the amps and that increased the pleasure meter some as well.Samsons may be completed in 2 weeks per Paul.
