Tube Research Labs Latest Dude Preamp
Cdente,I`m glad it worked out this way for you. This was a very generous offer from TRL, I hope you enjoy the Dude preamp for many years t come. 
McIntosh Preamp
Lewinski01,You made the right choice, sound quality trumps convenience and features anytime(asuming you can`t get both in one package). 
Question for the Hi-Fi experts ??
Stanwal,That`s a very good answer. It`s like some wanting their car to handle and perform like a motorcycle. 
Anybody find themselves revisiting old threads?

Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps
Well said Knghifi, the more I follow this thread it seems Cdente is making a very strong case for himself. He has returned the unit TWICE! to TRL without resolution, would a third time be a charm? Why would TRL build his Dude with ill fitting pane... 
Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps
