Tube Research Labs Latest Dude Preamp


For those members following a recently closed thread about my TRL wows, I have an update. The manufacturer has contacted me and offered to replace my first generation unit with their latest and greatest unit free of charge. I spoke with Paul today and we have agreed on a framework to get this done.

This is an extremely generous gesture as the new model is radically different and more expensive then the generation it’s replacing. We had an interesting conversation about the new units fully balanced design that Paul feels will be a much better fit for my particular needs.

I was not expecting anything like this. They really have stepped up in a big way. Keep you all posted on the situation and hope to have some specifics on the new architecture and features soon.

Charlie,

I have also found the same exact improvements with my new Dude in terms of sound. It betters the old Dude in clarity, transparency and it is also dead quite. Love it.

I am glad you like your new preamp and thanks for posting.
Cdente, glad everything worked out for all parties.

From my experiences (MANY MANY purchases) with Paul, he's one of the good guys in the business. Everything he builds are competitive with anything in the market regardless of price, HONEST, helpful ...

Happy Listening!
Mine has arrived! Woohoo!!!!!
