| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp The SL play more as one voice with more transparency. They throw a larger and deeper stage also. The Boleros go deeper in the bass, play much louder and have more body and warmth. I will so miss the Boleros. I am going to mod with SL's with some p... | |
| Here comes the Dude. What to expect? Mundorf Supremes for the two output caps. Otherwise the unit is full of Red Bull and Coke can sized caps elsewhere. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp The Dude is amazing and I am so happy to see others now enjoying it as I do! Gallant,I now own Soundlab speakers, basically the M3, and the Dude is great on this speaker. | |
| Musical Speakers - If you like that sort of thing. Cannot define live sound as that depends on so many things that it is impossible to get a base point.Many live events sound aweful and others heavenly.Great sound to my ears is what this passion is all about. The only base standard that works is o... | |
| Musical Speakers - If you like that sort of thing. The longer I'm at this the more I could care less.about neutrality.I want it to sound good to my ears at even the loudest volumes.I want my music full, rich and never thin and fatiguing. Full bodied and room filling are also a must.The bass can be... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks Tony,My CD player is a Cary 306. It puts out 3V - higher then the 2V suggested in this thread.I am checking on the output impedance from Cary. But my amps are the Samson's as you say and the 67k ohm figure seems low? George says the amp's i... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Ok, one last question. If I run my CD player right into my amps, won't that damage the amps or speakers? When this is done will my system play at full volume? Half volume? I can't image playing at full volume as I never go past 1/3 or so right now... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Scott, you agreed with me actually as I was talking about about the LS and RM10 combo of only 35 watts. The amps you mentioned are more powerful. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Scott, that would only be in a small room with highly efficient speakers. I assume that combo won't play at 95db in a larger room with speakers under 90 db efficient?I also assume that combo would never have the dynamic impact of a more formidable... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Goodness that is funny stuff............. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Like your input George. I would love to try your preamp in my system and compare to my tube preamp. I can't believe I even said this as I am usually 100% against passives based on my experience with these in the past. It's just that several highly... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I could agrue that a tone control does nothing for stage size or sense of scale and ease? So I guess tone controls in addition to the active preamp may be reasonable? Ha! | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? We are on the same page Pubul57. Your comments are well thought out and educational. | |
| Here comes the Dude. What to expect? Great to hear Glory. Enjoy your music collection! | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Actives can sound better to some because they like the change those tubes, caps etc give the sound. Yes, a good active tube preamp may in fact change the sound and that can be a great thing for some people.Larger stage size, more romance, or even ... |
