TAD 150

ECRUZ,

Eagleman here. No bass loss with my TAD/ McCormack combo but, I had the DNA-1. I am getting the TAD-60 to replace the McCormack. I am told that the TAD-60 bass rivals the McCormack by the person who originally reviewed the TAD-60. Don't know if it was the right decision but, I had the itch to try a tube amp and the deal that I am getting was hard to ignore. Stay tuned for my review in a few weeks after break in...

Mezzro,
I am excited by your remarks. I am going from a DNA-1 unmodded to the TAD-60. It shipped yesterday so I will give the rundown next week...

Did you have any trouble biasing?

Well, I received the TAD-60, biased the tubes in 15 minutes. Hooked up to the TAD-150 and I will definitely say that I am not sorry I sold the McCormack. It took about thirty minutes to really sing. Bass actually stronger and tighter, midrange incredible, detail and soundstage wider and deeper. Very well balanced. I will post an actual review after a few weeks but, first impression consistent with Mezzro...

For anyone who bought the original 150 and had it modded to signature level. What differences if any have you noticed. This would be my next venture...

RWbadley,
Check out the TAD-60 and sell the Cayin. I just put the TAD-60 in my system. It is still breaking in but, the impression that I get so far is wider and deeper soundstage, deep, tight bass, improved low level dynamics.
Previous Amp was the McCormack DNA-1, pre is the TAD-150, CD is Eastern Electric, speakers are the Vandersteen 2CE signatures. Biasing is simple. Paul still has a special so give him a look...
