Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps

Knghifi,
I`d also love to read your thoughts on the VAC pre compared to the Shindo pre,as these are two very fine components.

Latinsamba,
By all accounts the U.K. made Tron 7 preamp is wonderful. Any one of these three preamps are cetainly good enough to base a system around,you would`nt go wrong with any of them.

Latinsamba,
You have good taste. I`d love to hear a Tron/Horning system compared to a well setup Shindo/Devore. I don`t think you could go wrong either way.

It seems if Cdente had an unsatisfactory experience with TRL`s products/service he has every right to voice his opinion as much as those who repeatedly rave about them. Glory, what is it he should get over if he has a legitimate complaint?

This is strange indeed. Cdente has a complaint with TRL going bach 9 months! that`s apparently unresolved. Cdente is understandably displeased. What`s a mystery is Agear and Glory`s role/interest if they`re not connected with TRL. Is it possible that Cdente had a bad experience with TRL even though Agear and Glory hav`nt?

Well said Knghifi, the more I follow this thread it seems Cdente is making a very strong case for himself. He has returned the unit TWICE! to TRL without resolution, would a third time be a charm? Why would TRL build his Dude with ill fitting panels in the first place?Do they check these units prior to shipment? Again why no solution after 9 months! And others have had ground/hum issues also, something just seems odd. Glory and Agear oblviously feel the need to defend TRL based on their own positive experiences with the Dude. What does TRL have to say on their behave? It appears Cdente has every reason to voice his complaints.

Gallant diva,
There`s nothing wrong with us "guys" we`re outside observers reading an open forum thread involving one man`s experience with a manufactuer`s product, nothing more or less. You have no personal involvementin this matterfrom what I can tell.What authority do you have to tell another poster to keep quiet? you`re coming across as rather immature and silly.

Grannyring,
Your reply is reasonable and thoughtful, far better than the nonsense from Glory and Gallant diva. I hope Cdente and TRL can settle this soon with mutual satisfaction.
Take Care,
