I spoke on the phone this morning with Norealtalent. I was following up on his purchase of a TAD Signature 150 Tube Preamp. To my surprise he did not think much of it and in fact was extremely disappointed in all aspects.
You can imagine how I felt after touting it's quality's. He stated his Perreaux SM1 was far superior. I was inclined to think something was wrong with the TAD but he did not think so.
I thought this was something that should be mentioned on the site after promoting its virtues with great vigor. I still believe this is a hell of a good preamp but have had my curiosity peaked by Norealtalents experience. Sometimes when your searching for confirmation you get surprised by the answer. Just goes to show one never really knows what another listener may think. I appreciated Norealtalents opinion and thought is was important to pass on. I hope your OK with this bud?
Can you believe it! It's snowing! I miss California....
