| 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. | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps Your missing the fact that I have owned many top end amps along with the Atma-sphere on these same speakers. So I could compare these other amps to the OTL and note any changes to my music. Trust me when I say I have heard many a great amp and the... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps I thought this would be so. Anyway, I run from thin sounding gear as my ears find that to be the #1 sonic dislike. | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps I must admit I am a little confused here. Two posters have said OTL amps are thin sounding?Goodness my experiece could not be more opposite. On my Soundlab speakers they have more body then two other great SS amps I have heard on them.Amps that ha... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Hi GloryYes he did. Pretty easy to hear this in our a/b comparisons. He also had the Audio Valve Eclipse preamp with NOS's. This is also a very nice preamp with great drive, power and scale.I found the Dude more refined overall with instruments so... |
