I don't know if anyone has compared these two preamps so it may be quiet on that subject.
You may have read my review and I can say with confidence the Dude is in a class of very few regardless of price.
You are welcome to listen to my Dude compared to any pre you decide on. Just bring your pre over and you can compare.Sell the pre that pleases you the least. Perhaps you are close enough were I can bring my Dude over. Most likely won't find a used Dude but can find the other pre in question.
I have compared the Dude to many a top end pre and the Dude has always sounded more like music.
Hope you hear from someone that has compared both.
