TAD 150 Signature Series

[Ken Pachkowsky]

I just purchased one of these and will have it this week. I have read some great reviews and look forward to trying it out.

The reviews of this on Audiogon and other places are very impressive. Its my first venture into tube design.

The Signature version is supposed to be outstanding. We shall see.

Here is a link.

Very slick looking!

[Ken Pachkowsky]

I agree, but lets see if it has substance. Will no doubt keep you all posted.

Curious why you have bought it?

Ken what pre amp are you using at the moment?

The Adcom or the older design by the thx guy?

There'a lot of stuff pouring out of China like this at the moment, some are pirate copies and IP infringements of other designs.

Thats a fair question. I am using the Apt Holman.

I sold the Adcom and in retrospect I wish I had not. It was a fine sounding unit. There were simply things I did not like about it. But lets leave it at that for now.

I bought it because I got to know the guy through Audiogon and we hit it off quite well. I also got the Signature Version for a very very good price. Always been curious about tubes.

Ian, by this time you should know I am insane...

I wonder what Pioneer's Technical Audio Devices thinks of Tube Audio Design?

FYI

I did not jump on this, I have been thinking about trying it for some time.

And, your point is...??

Why else are we your friends?

I'm just tired of being breathless all weekend waiting on the BSS report. I should have KNOWN there is a pile of gear you are wading through!

The BSS is great but Julie hates "Pink Noise" and I mean hates. I have only done a quick preliminary analysis, but like it very much. She has a dentist appointment tomorrow so I'll try and really dial it in and play a bit.

Yes, we are all nuts.

Redundant. Redact that portion of the post that is irrelevant...

I think the tube amp will make you see things a bit differently!

You might come away surprised and perplexed, in a good way!

Boy, I like the sound of that!

Will let you know.
