Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps


I am in the market to look for a tube preamp. I have narrow down my choices to Tube Research Labs Dude and a comparable price Shindo Labs.

Can anybody provide me your experience to help me to make a better decision? Better yet, have anybody compared them side by side before?

Thank!

Listen up dudes chares1dad and others: I was asking did he try to communicate these problems with TRL and also I am saying how do we verify the allegations without th eother party being present here to give their side of the story. What is wrong with your guys?

"Hey,Diva_ with your reply you are certainly are acting like one."

Say somethinh that is intectually inspiring.

"I have no beef and am not a sympathizer."

ok, then keep quite.
Ish, if he sent the unit back to TRL twice already he must have been in some communication with them. Now whether or not he has been in communication lately I do not know. As I said in a previous post maybe he is just frustrated to the point where he doesn't feel it is worth it. Does he have just cause to feel that way? It appears from his side of the story that is the case. However, as you noted and I agree, that is just one side of it.

You stated in a previous thread the other party is not able to respond. How is it they are not able to respond? Its pretty easy to register and post comments here. So why doesn't the other party state their side of the story? You seem to be pretty close to TRL (even have Paul pictured with your amps on your system page) so maybe you should encourage them to contribute their version of the events. Of course the other party doesn't have to explain their side if they don't want to, which makes it a bit unfair to attack someone who is just stating their experience.

You think TRL is the only manufacturer to come under criticism on these forums? Seems like it happens weekly and in some cases with some well known manufacturers wearing the target. No one has a 100% satisfied customer base. I don't see why one person's criticism has caused this much bickering and threads/posts to be deleted.

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.

"if he sent the unit back........"

yes, if he did. Paul says he did not send it twice.

Clio09 says: "......he must have been in some communication"

Puals say the last communication from him was "happy christmas and the preamp is fine"

Clio09 says "How is it they are not able to respond?"

I do not know. Do they? do they not? How do we verify whatever is said by one party as truth? In any court of law or any other environment unless we get both sides of the story we cannot take sides. And I am not take sides but mnay be there is the other side of the coin.

Clio09 says "I don't see why one person's criticism has caused this much bickering"

Just like my asking if he communicated and how do we verify has caused several guys' hormonal imblanance.

I stop here. Now all of you restless souls go figure.
