Nice post on the amp. Well written and really paints a vivid picture of what you are experiencing with this amp.

Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
I would love remote or wish the volume knob had a few more steps. But like you it sounds so good that I really don't care anymore.Bill

Vett93,Please update us as it burns in. I find the Dude sets a new standard for bass control, articulation and power in a tube preamp.Very open and live sounding to my ears. I really enjoy the Dude!Bill 
NEW SVS PB12-Plus
I have a PB 12 Plus 2 - older version and it is also awesome. Great people and products and to me this is a no brainer!

Boleros have broken in and I have happy ears! Goodness my music sounds so good! The Samson amps have stayed on 24/7 from the day I got them until last week.I turned them off overnight and then turned them back on the next day and let them warm up ...

I would love to hear his new amp, but am sad to hear it is a SET amp and won't work for many full range systems. I was hoping Joseph would make an amp that could work in a broader range of systems.I own Silverline Bolero speakers that are 92db eff... 
back to ask again long sorry
I think it is your sensitive hearing and fatigue. I feel very stromgly this is your issue. Only one way to fix this for good in my humble opinion. Here it is. Change your speaker to one that is less forward and better matched for your hearing. A s...

Waltersalas,Please update me on the amps. Also, what speakers and you using with the amps?Thanks,Bill 
This funny
Shadorne makes a great point regarding professional speakers. Parts quality is important and should be part of any big $$ speaker, period.The mark-up and prices for high end gear is really not justified in many, not all, cases. Buyer beware and on...
