| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I don't know if I would call it an upgrade. Paul knows great sound and uses coupling caps that sound great in the Dude already. I happen to think Duelund caps are simply the very best one can use as wanted them. Mine cost $400 for the two and many... | |

| Preamp for Pass Pubul57,You're correct as I misread the spec sheet on the site I found. | |
