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.

Piling on late, but I too can heap praise upon Paul. Great guy, always fair, honest and helpful in my experience. I'm a satisfied TRL owner.

Sounds like a great screenplay.

Tony, you know TRL well having owned their products in the past. Does Paul's offer surprise you? Were you ever a recipient of their largess in any way? He is a very generous man almost to a fault. To be frank, the quality of sound many of us have stepped into for the price is stunning. More of the same IMO. He did have a "choice" in this matter, as did Charlie, and they both made the right decision together. Bravo.

Jeffga, what TRL gear do you own?
Audiofeil, I have to admit that's funny...

Pat, I agree. This is a very weird hobby and it does take a toll in some ways.

Charlie, your unit is going to be killer. I am almost jealous much like I am of Bug's sweet blue Dude...
