Can anyone comment about the TRL Dude? 
a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used
I'm looking too. I have a Pass X350.5 and no preamp. I'm twirling around the Pass XP-20, Bent Audio Tap X possibly for a passive, or even the new Modwright LS100.I had a Cary SLP-05 but sold it. Thought I could live without it. A foolish mistake I... 
Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?
Ditto, mine are about 2 weeks out.

The Pass, well yes that would solve the preamp search. Wonder if anyone has compared the MBL and Pass side by side?Not to familar with CJ components. Hum.

Looking at the MBL 5011. I know I know, it's nearly twice my budget.Having the MBL 121's I can certainly appreciate the stellar quality of MBL line. It really is amazing. I have one speaker that sustained damage to its finish - not done by me. I c...

Thanks Johnss. I'll head in that direction.

Last night I compared my Perfectwave DAC Bridge (lossless FLAC files)to my PS Audio GCPH phono preamp going straight to Pass amp. I've been not listening to files for a while and wanted to compare sound quality between the 2 formats.The vinyl medi...

So JFondell, they look great but how are they sounding? We need to know :)

I rechecked the values of those caps. They are in fact 100uf 63volt caps. Here is a pic of the caps on the board.http://www.flickr.com/photos/9751465@N05/5511871969/Pictures worth well, you know.When bypassing, I assume that means adding in parall...

My old eyes aren't what they used to be. Now I'll have to open her up and recheck but I'm 90% sure they were 100uf. How can one tell the difference between electrolytic and film? 
Wish to upgrade phono preamp caps and other
Yes the 12000uf caps are for the power supply. Probably shouldn't touch those. The remaining 4 100uf 6.3volt caps are in the signal chain. Those I'll "touch".Thanks for your help. 
Wish to upgrade phono preamp caps and other
I doubt that I'll find a schematic on this phono preamp. I know the risks involved, that's why I asked the question. I don't wish to change the circuit, just perform some upgrades such as caps, fuse, some resonance material, maybe upgrade some wir... 
Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?
JFondell, keep us posted. I'm ~5 weeks away before I'll smell mine. Regarding tone, I left myself some adjustment in that regard. With the cross-overs outboard, I'll have access to the caps and wiring. I have no preamp so my current setup takes a ...
