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.

I haven't given the color with the order yet! Just wanted to get in the line up!
Paul is supposed to be getting color chart!
Hey Clio:

Sorry for the really late response. I’m working on a huge addition to my house that has been consuming my time. Got a 500 sq ft room I'm retrofitting for a new audio/office application out of the deal. Should be killer!

I'm clear on your responses in 1 & 2. Where I was going with question 3 is that in my situation i'm going from the Dude to a pro audio active crossover (DBX 260 to be specific). I'm hoping to have a better match between the +4bu pro audio device with the higher output of the 6080 tubes.

As far as the last post, I'm taking a wait and see approach. I should have the new unit in a few weeks. I'll let you know if I'm really into a 'dude' then.
