| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Marconi tubes come with a silver metal base or black base. I am speaking of the black base. No other designation needed.Hard to find. Try Andy of Vintage Tube services. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I just had my Atma-sphere MA1's updated to the latest 3.1 version (from 2.2) plus all options available have been added. I have got to share that the current upgrades are a revelation for this amp. Wow does this amp now sing. So rich and glorious ... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I can buy new 6sn7's all day long for $25 each that sound quite good for my Dude. Not as good as the Marconi tubes, but very good still. My Dude really only has two 6sn7's that impact the sound. Only two, so I have no problem paying $100 set for t... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Bugredmachine, congrats indeed! | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I did not know there were other colors? Nice. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Just the play button to enjoy music Topsel - all is good. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I like how Tvad and others are always striving for the sound that pleases them the most. I am in that group and always have an open mind on gear and opinions. This is how I found out about Paul & Brian and TRL. If I had a closed mind I would h... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Tvad, the Dude is very transparent and brings out inner detail that I had always missed. I would also say it is most neutral. I feel the Dude plays music as it is recorded and I never hear one consistent "type" of sound from recording to recording... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Seem like two very different preamps (in design) and it would be very interesting to compare. The Dude is $3600, but of coarse it is sold direct and does not "suffer" the full retail mark-up. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I recently purchased some OTL amps from Atma-sphere - the MA1's. They mate very well with the Dude as do the TRL Samson SS monoblock amps. The Dude matches the wonderful life and live sound the MA1's have and the Dude's body and texture really mak... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Agear is right Bugredmachine. Yes, your system is very nice indeed. I see you just updated it and yes the Dude would be a great fit in your system. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Well that is quite expensive for the Vre-1. Love to do an a/b with the Dude.Bugredmachine,I have owned the Joule 100 and 150 and can say quite confidently the Dude will best these preamps by a good margin. I love the Joule sound and really enjoyed... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Yes, those Marconi tubes will sound great. How much is the VRE-1 and is it tube? Not read much on it. I know of one owner here on the Gon. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Ya, I agree. I still like to compare with preamps I have not had the chance to A/B. It's fun for me and I'm always open minded enough to want to hear better. I have yet to hear as good as the Dude. Yes, the Dude does abide. | |
| Pass XA60.5's or Cary CAD 500 MB for Maggie 1.7? The best amps for you are the TRL Samson monoblock amps. They are amazing and run cool.They never show up used, but I see a set for sale now. You will not find better sound and based on your comments are exactly what you want. |
