| What preamp should I buy ? Scott,Read the reviews here on audiogon. Also, Paul modifies these preamps once they hit the states. Buy what your instincts tell you but, as a fellow Vandersteen owner I am just letting you know that this particular preamp is a good match. Also, ... | |
| What preamp should I buy ? Scott,I know that I already responded to you but, look seriously at the Tube Audio Design 150. I listen to 70-04 rock on my Adcom 600 and good recordings like Eagles, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac and others sound really good through Vandersteen's. I a... | |
| ARC users please Scotthk,I had an ARC SP9MK2 which is a Hybrid using both tubes and SS and I have the Vandersteen 2CE sigs. I bought some good Amperex tubes and the unit sounded excellent. The phono stage had quite a bit of gain and that was the best phono section... | |
| Preamp suggestions for a McCormack DNA-125? I have a Tube Audio Design 150 matched with a McCormack DNA-1. oNice and smooth. You can get it new for 699 from Bizzy Bee audio. Eagleman | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design TAD 150 Tube preamp Review #2I have had the opportunity to live with this piece for six weeks or so. My Joe-Zen power cord and Signal cable IC's are starting to break in. Soundstage is even wider and deeper. Quality of recordings are very revealing good and bad. This... | |
| What SS Amp for TAD-150 Tube Preamp? I have the TAD-150 with a McCormack DNA-1. I am driving Vandersteen 2CE Sigs. I paid $800 but, you can get a McCormack DNA-0.5 for around $600 or $700. If you don't need them driven too loud, the 0.5 should work fine. I ran a thread some time back... | |
| Will an entry level tube preamp help w/ B&K ST-140 Do you mean Vandersteen 2CE? If so, I have been using a Tube Audio Design-150 by Bizzy Bee audio to drive my 2CE sigs. I had an ST-140, upgraded to the reference 4420 then to the McCormack DNA-1. The B&K to McCormack transformation showed me t... | |
| SS 80 to 125 wpc -- NAD, Adcom, B&K, AVA, McC ? Go McCormack if you can afford it. The DNA.5 should do for the 1B. I have the DNA-1 with Vandy 2CE Sigs running with a Tube Audio esign-150. My second choice would be the B&K ST140. I had one running the vandys about two amps ago. Very nuetral... | |

| Hi Fi burnout. Work on your golf game. Healthier hobby until you get like I do and start changing drivers and shafts all the time....Actually, I went through five preamps since April and settled with the TAD-150. I actually made money on the units that I bought ... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Vandersteen 2CE signatures. I have gone through five preamps and three amps this year and settled down to the McCormack DNA-1's which I will be upgrading and the new Tube Audio Design -150. Each piece change was an improvement for the Vandersteens... | |

| Best used SS 100 - 150wpc for a grand or less? I currently have Vandersteen 2CE sigs. I had the ARC SP9 MK2 in my system for about one month. I went from B&K 4420 to a McCormack DNA-1. The McCormack seems to mate very well with the Vandersteens. Don't know what tubes you are using but, I p... | |
| Buzz from speakers Linkoping,I know how frustrating this can be. I just had this problem when I changed preamps from an ARC to the TAD-150 by Bizzy Bee. I put a cheater on the preamp power cord and it went away. What kind of surge protection are you using. If monste... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design TAD 150 Tube preamp I received my TAD-150 today. Bought it from another A-Gon. Hard to review when your componenets seem to dissappear into the music and you can't find adjectives to describe what you are hearing. This unit is absolutely the most transparent preamp t... |
