Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps


I am in the market to look for a tube preamp. I have narrow down my choices to Tube Research Labs Dude and a comparable price Shindo Labs.

Can anybody provide me your experience to help me to make a better decision? Better yet, have anybody compared them side by side before?

Thank!

All the Tron Reference or Ulitmate version of the their line stages, phonostages, or full function preamps contain many custom spec. parts made to Tron's specifications. Due to the lead time for some of thes parts which Tron does not keep in stock and only builds the electronics to order there unfortunately is a lead time. Well worth the wait in my opinion. I am currently waiting for an Ultimate Seven Phono.
Tthean - You can contact me for a less-than-glowing perspective on TRL from a quality and customer service perspective.
Shindo makes terrific products. Love their stuff.

Never heard The Dud.

No financial interest in either line.
One more vote for Shindo.I had the entry level preamp.The distributor is A-ONE along with their products.
I do own a Tron now and cant ever see owning anything else.
Tthean, as I said before, there are two very happy Dude owners (latest generation) in the Dallas area. No issues with fit and finish, customer service, etc. Gallant_diva is one. Ask Paul for the other. His name is Huy, but I have lost his contact data. They both have very expensive systems whatever that is worth....
