| Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used Here's another thumbs up for the TAD-60. I have had this amp for quite a while now and it just gets better and better. As previously mentioned, lots of flexibility as well...triode/ultralinear/Class A/multiple tube options and can also be used as ... | |
| Tube amp recommendation for $1000 TAD-60:http://www.angelfire.com/biz/bizzyb/TAD-60.htmlNow selling on A'gon for $899, I believe. Dead quiet. No balanced in, though. | |
| TAD-60 Owners I am using the stock Svetlana EL34 tubes. I have replaced the others. I am currently using NOS RCA "clear-top" 12AU7A tubes and a cryo grade gray plate Ei 12AX7. | |
| TAD-60 Owners I just re-biased my unit this morning. I listen to the TAD-60 mostly in triode mode, but Paul suggests using ultralinear in this new bias mode. It may take me a little listening time to truly discern the differences, but it does sound great. Right... | |
| Tube Amp Around $1000 Another vote for the TAD-60. It is a great piece. | |
| What Speaker for 50 wt Tube Amp- Renaissance Prelude. | |
| What is the best Frank Sinatra CD? I don't know if it is "sonically definitive," but one of my favorites has awlays been "Sinatra and Jobim" conducted by Claus Ogerman. Some of Sinatra's best vocal work, IMHO, and the remastered CD sounds quite good. | |
| RAM-Modded Lite DAC-Ah Review I owned the Benchmark (two of them actually) and found it to be a great DAC. I did find it to be little lean for my tastes, though. The modded DAC-Ah is, IMHO, more musical, for lack of a better word...more pleasing to my ears. The music has more ... | |
| Purpose of Decanters? Kind of an odd topic for A'gon. I am not sure why any scotch would require a decanter. Decanting wine or port serves two purposes. First, if there is sediment in the bottle, decanting separates the liquid from the sediment so one is not drinking s... | |
| Best value in integrated amps at a moderate price? The LFD Mistral is a winner and, at 50wpc, should handle most reasonably efficient speakers. No remote, though. | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Symphonic Line Kraftquelle. | |
| ADS tribute website? I have had a number of ADS speakers and still enjoy my L1290s very much. I would love to see such a website. | |
| Best Guitar CD Recording Check out Johnny A: "Get Inside" and "Sometime Tuesday Morning." Excellent Boston-area guitar player. Both discs are great and very well-recorded. | |
| Tube Amp Recommendation I second the TAD-60 recommendation. Great unit at a great price. Even better with the TAD-150 Signature preamp. Buy both new for well under your budget. | |
| TAD 150 Eagleman, sorry I didn't respond to your post earlier, but I am glad you found the biasing easy, as I did. I am also happy to hear you are pleaseed with your initial impressions. Keep us posted on your thoughts. Thanks! |
