Not a Dumble expert but tough question to answer,it depends on your needs. DO a search at the ampgarage.com under the Dumble forum. They have great info on all the variations plus schematics and what not. That way you'll know what you like best about a Dumble and heck will answer the question wether you want a D style amp or not....

Depends what you are into

for an 80's circuit -- click on Breezin (sounds very similar to my Fuchs non-HRM ODS)
http://www.gregorhilden.de/cd_blue_in_red.htm

for an 90's HRM circuit --- I think robben F uses an HRM in the Jing chi album

Maybe Dr. Lerner can jump in and point you to some comparison clips.

the whole album is almost a love letter to the dumble amp. It is a terrific album --- highly recommend you purchasing it.

The featured amp on the album is an 80's circuit dumble.

Blue clouds is the 80's dumble. It is actually featured in the video to that track.

Here is the link to the video
