Got my replacement Dude last week. It’s been a long but worthwhile wait. I have already spoken with Paul to thank him for not only replacing the unit but for working with me to provide the best possible configuration for my needs.I really can't sa...

Clayton just sent out a newsletter today. Send him an email. I'm sure he would be happy to pass this information along.

Because its $3k for the software and single room tune, plus a fully upgraded minimac at $1.7k, plus at least $2k for a suppoted DAC/active crossover. After speaking with Clayton last week, the next generation of his product may better meet my need...

After listening with the ebtech line leveler XLR in the mix (only on the input side of the DBX 260) for the last 3 months it turns out there is a huge improvement in the sound quality. I was cleaning and reorganizing today when I decided to take t...

Using it with a Bel Canto CD-2 as a transport. I believe Joseph can install a very high quality USB interface but you would need to give up one of your inputs. I was giving Victor a hard time about making comments like "the TD 3.0 can't hold a can...

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 r...

I have a series of questions for the technical experts:1) SE vs. Balanced. It’s a question of application rather than sound quality correct? In my case I have fully-balanced equipment on the input and output side driving the need for a fully-balan...

I think there are two configurations. If one needs the fully balanced unit able to drive low impedance loads its $1000.00 more than the single ended architecture I have in my unit. $5k until June 1st per the information Paul sent me. Please double...

Don't know if we are geographically compatible but I did make an offer for him to have a listen to my new unit once it arrives. I felt I owed him at least that much. I'll do what I can to help in his quest for information and evaluation.

BTW I took opportunity to apologize to the previous thread owner for the gigantic distraction I created. I can't imagine what he now thinks about the TRL owner base. Myself included!

A few quotes from Paul regarding my new fully balance unit:"The Dude now weighs about twice what yours does at 72#, thebalanced will probably be about 85-90#. ""The balanced use a 4-deck Shallco 45-step attenuator with our TRL bearings on theshaft...

I think a few closing comments are appropriate. Paul made me this offer with no strings attached. After he contacted me I sent him a scathing letter questioning his motivation and making demands of my own. His offer stood even after all that. Ther...

Never felt the need to and since I'm tri-amping I have no available ports on the DBX 260. Three sets of outputs is the max on this device. 
Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps
Grannyring: Usually I value your perspective but in this case I can't dissagree with you more. These guys here beat the hell out of me, I move forward with efforts to resolve my last problem (you know be part of the solution and all) and you compl...
