Tube Audio Design TAD-1000 100 watt Mono Blocks


Paul at BizzzyBee, who sells the wonderful Cayin TA-30, has
an interesting deal on a new pair of 100 watt tube monoblocks. Has anyone heard the new TAD-1000 Mono's ?
Any idea how they compare to ASL Hurricane, or ARC
VS110 ? Looks like TAD is a Cayin design. Everything Cayin makes gets great reviews. Id like to buy the Totem Forest's but I dont know if 100 watts per channel will be adequate. Any owners of the TAD-1000 have any impressions they want to share ? Thanks

Funny you should ask...

I just received my pair earlier today. So far, I am VERY impressed.

I am driving a pair of Martin Logan Prodigy's (not the easiest load out there) to "room filling" volume, with no problems.

The packaging is pretty darn good, and again, considering that they are not even anywhere near broken-in yet, sound pretty amazing.

Will keep you "posted" (pun intended) as they begin to break in, but bottom line - they should be plenty of amp for your Totem's.
