Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
Paul says some difficulty with the machine shop is slowing s down. The guts are wired up in the bottom chassis plate but we need the machined pieces to finish then off to anodize.

I'm still waiting for mine to be built!! 
Rogue Hera II and Athena-info wanted
I did audition an Athena for a weekend about 6 weeks ago and really liked it a bunch. It was very holographic and just brought the system to new heights. I could not afford it at the time and have ordered something else. One is for sale here right...

What power cords are you using on your Dude's? 
Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE
I had the single box 36.5 side by side with a Dodd battery and a response Audio Bella Max pre and the order of finish was the Bella, the Dodd, and then the MW in terms of overall clarity and air.Yes a nice unit and Dan is very cool. I recently had...

Good source for the Marconi tubes? What is the exact part number designation? Clear top, smoked glass, fringed rear window?On the mounting, are there locations to add feet or would I have to drill and tap myself? Engineer and DIY'r so no fear here.

Hey folks, about to order a Dude before the price increases in October. I've seen photos here of the black and gun-metal gray units. Anyone have any other colors of anodizing that TRL offers they can forward me? I'm leaning toward blue, red, or ba...

Thanks Granny - so you still own it? And is it quiet w/o hum? I'd like to purchase one and would do so based solely on reviews here. 
Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
Any comments or observations from anyone on why folks may have moved away from a Dude? I'm overly cautious since I have to order one to hear one and want to be sure it will be quiet and reliable. I am digging around here and seeing that perhaps so... 
Pass Labs X250 or X350?
I have owned the X350.5 and while it was commanding of all the sound, it was lacking in bass and slightly rolled off on the top. Belive it or not, I replaced it with a pair of Wyred 4 Sound SX1000 monoblocks and couldn't be happier.Major differenc... 
Best U.S.A. speakers?
Salk Sound. How did you miss this one. Guys, the HT3's best Sophia II's, 802D's, etc. 
TAD-125 Monoblocks
I am also impressed with the body and soul of the 125's. They have an effortlessness to them that defies there diminutive size. They have heavy competition as I am having a runoff between them and a very well-respected SS mondo amp. They are holdi...
