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.

I believe Tthean lives in Dallas. There are two Dude owners there....including Gallant.
Ackman00: You'll have to call Paul to get a price. It seems that every Dude built lately has been custom. Very few are "standard" anymore. You have many options to choose from. (Colors, number of inputs, dual mono step attenuators, full balanced, etc.)

Once again, just give Paul a call at (509) 989-4437 and he'll have your answers.
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 check with the directly to confirm.
