| High res tube amps under $1.5k : TAD-60 perhaps? Check out the reviews in the review section on the TAD-60. I have one paired with the TAD-150 signature... I have Vabdy 2CE Sigs. Plenty of power at 60 watts. There is a less powerful model for a few hundred less. I had several other amps includin... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp What is everyone using for the one 12AX7 and two AU7 tubes? Is anyone using alll 12AX7 or do you need to replace with the same type of tubes. I just put two GT AX7 in the preamp and while I am still evaluating I think the total system performance ... | |
| Tube Rolling for TAD-150 I bought a couple of those GT for the TAD=150. How do you get the pre cover off. Just unscrew the screws on the side? Sorry for the dumb question but, I have not rolled any tubes yet in the pre..... | |
| Phono preamps Stay away from the NAD. I had one about a week and returned it. Not much better than a hand held transistor radio... | |
| Speaker cables For Vandersteen 2CE sigs Actually those are the exact cables that I am using. They were recommended by the dealer who sold the speakers to me... | |
| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . Stumpie,I have a pair of 2CE sigs that I am running through a Tube Audio design 60 Amp and 150 preamp. The TAD puts out 60 watts a side. Prior I had a McCormack DNA-1 (185 watts/side), B&K 4220 (225 watts/ side)and a B&K 140 (105 watts/sid... | |
| I hope break in is true Stacked Advents... Maybe you need to audition another speaker. You must be holding back the performance of your electronics quite a bit... Try some used Vandersteen 1Cs or 2CE sigs. Great sound for the money... | |
| Preamp $600-$1000 TAD-150 signature if you can find one. It is a tube hybrid that will run somewhere in the $700-900 range. I know that there was an interruption in the supply of new ones but, contact Paul at Bizzy Bee Audio. This unit far surpasses anything near i... | |
| Vandersteen 3a Sigs, McCormack DNA 125, preamp? The Audio Mirror is a nice pre and I heard it with several speakers but, my vote would go for the TAD-150 especially if you play vinyl. I have both the TAD150 and 60 and drive Vandersteen 2CE signatures.... | |
| Using TAD-60 Amplifier Without Preamp? I just sent my TAD-150 to Paul for signature upgrade and tried the TAD-60 with just the CD. While the sound is fairly smooth, the dynamics and sound stage definitely need the TAD-150 in the signal path. i am going on vacation so I will be away whi... | |
| Tube Amp Around $1000 I think that it has some of both. With the stock tubes it has that airy midrange but, when I rolled in some Tung Sol reissues it not only had the airy midrange but, the bass was more powerful and the highs seemed more detailed and extended. The ov... | |
| TAD-60 Owners Are you using the stock tubes? | |
| ground loop HUM please help I had the ground loop problem. I did two things that really helped. 1. I moved all the audio equipment to an adjacent wall with not other plug ins. 2. I moved the power cords so they were not touching. I now have a very low hiss which one can only... | |
| Broken Counterweight stem on Project Perspective T Thanks Dreadhead. It is the stem that holds the counterweight. I tried some super glue and it seems to be holding but, I plan on calling Sumiko on Monday...Eagleman | |
| Entry level phono stage Stay away from the NAD... I had one and it sounded on par with a transistor radio. No guts, detail or dynamics.. |
