JohnsonwuDid you go all solid state or tube preamp. Which amp did you like better Pass or TRL

Do you have to use identical amps if you biamp? Can you use tube on top and solid star on the bass. What about gain difference?

TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade
Check the "Audio Review" section here on audiogon under preamp and you will find a lot of discussion along with a current picture of the Dude. Great preamp!

Thats interesting, what phono did you hear the ZYX with? The Klyne has up to 65db of gain and so far I have never needed a step up. 
Review: Tube Research TRL Dude Tube preamp

Great company that is for sure. I don't have any of their amps yet but if they are anything like their preamps the're very good. I have their top preamp the C900 and it is one of the better preamps out there. But more than that the company is soli...
