| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I'm sure that being a surgeon keeps you busy enough however, it is a shame that you aren't a reviewer, Andrew. I'm looking forward to your review of the Zardoz as we have had inquiries about them from family members. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp It's amazing just how much music has been there, all along, that we haven't heard, huh? | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier I've used maple blocks in the past, nothing wrong with them. I think that I'll need to give the Sistrum platforms a try someday soon. | |
| What Printed Magazine do you prefer? One that does not rely on ads for revenue. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier What amp stands are you using, Waltersalas? | |
| TRL 595 Discussion Died Years Ago Clio: Just for the record, TRL has modifed over 1000 units over the past 5 years. Considering the numbers, you'd expect to find dozens for sale, here at the Gon, but you don't. This said, it appears that the "leap of faith" worked out for many oth... | |

| Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier We've done the sand bag trick in the past on top of recorders during a few of Paul's DSD recordings. You know, I haven't tried them on the Samson amp chassis yet. Great idea, Bill and thanks! | |
| TRL 595 Discussion Died Years Ago TRL is still modifiying the Sony 595 and 2000 SACD/CD players to this day. Two were modified last week with the latest power supply updates. One was a customer from 2007 getting updates only and the other was sent a fresh, completely stock refurbi... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier Bill,Since my TRL Samsons are a one off custom, built in a chassis that is roughly 12 inches wide, 12 inches tall and 30 inches in length, I wonder if using 2 of the Star Sound SP-004 Sistrum Platforms, side by side, would be the route to go? I se... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I've had both, and the 23 step is fine by me, although the extra steps might come in handy if you have an unusual room, such as an "L" shape that you are dealing with. Otherwise, I tend to listen around the same listening level, changing it only w... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Perhaps Paul should make the 45 step optional? | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier You're not crazy, Bill. Turning off the amps overnight every now and then really does make a difference. "Greater sense of ease" is an accurate description. The stage has tighter focus and image depth layering becomes more evident. It just sounds ... | |
| Best amp under $6k, in your opinion? Not neccessarily true, Grannyring. Tube Research makes some very beautiful amplifiers and preamplifiers. Paul was one of the first to offer 1 inch thick face panels and large gold plated panels.They are considerably more money that the $3500 Dude.... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Let the Dude get around 500 hours on it. It should have more of what you seek once it has that many hours on it.I should warn you though that it is a very neutral preamp, although a guy can always tube roll to get the desired flavor.Remember, the ... |
