Audiolabyrinth - yes, Dude is *only* tube based.
Grey9hound - it is not the cables CRL currently sells. It is the older CRL-FIM interconnect that are solid core copper. If CRL-FIM had different interconnect models, I couldn't comment on which I have. They are not made anymore; however try out a well made solid core copper interconnect and judge for yourself. As far as the other interconnects, I'd rather not comment at this time. As already mentioned all cables have there own presentation, not necessarily that one is better or worse than another, it is just what you are looking for. It was just by coincidence that I came upon your post at the same time I just got the CRL-FIM interconnect so I thought I'd give you a heads-up.
