TAD D1000MK2 order placed 11th sept 2017.
i was planning to go for TAD D600, yup i don't care or need of DIGITAL GUI or the juice ( soft audio DATA) either. i love/addicted to spinning silver/GOLD disc. BUT when i found D600 has .045mil VOLT on XLR and .022 VOLT on RCA analog stage output i had to propound my venture on TAD D600 ONE BOX SACD/CD dream. my dealer convinced me enough to go for a quick shot on TAD D100MK2, as its their entry level gear there is nothing to lose. MY crazy nerdy young brother already hold a bet that the super performer in my rig the unbeatable SIM 650D with 820S will just fall apart in many tin mini pieces in front of TAD D1000Mk2. i am not convinced though.
WHY TAD?
i don't listen music to cars these days, but once i did a lot, suddenly my ALPINE 6 disc DVD Changer died ( yup i hate soft copy music i love cd) and asked my close buddy to buy me a replacement changer. Instead he sent me Pioneer Premier DEH P9 with XDV-P90. WTFLOWER when i listen i blown away to bay of Bengal directly. Insane accuracy of music with wow musicality. then i decide what's pioneer is doing in the high end market. i still remember those childhood days when prisoner rules the cassette and Laser disc player.
***THE REASON of this writings***
TAD asked on their owners manual to not take any ATTEMPT to change the supplied AC power cord, i LOVE my siltech RUBY mountain2 with fourth Fi50 option and love them crazy. Now feeling bit shaky. My respected big brother who owns Gryphon full rig with kalliope and mephisto with Maxx3 always warned me to tweaking on Stock AC power cord. He always insist on the stock as he believed these gears a tuned with he stock cord and by replacing them we are simply change the tuning of the components.
SOO? where we stands now?
ANY kind TADD1000mk2 users out there with AC power cord experience with tad. The Malaysian on the other hand giving demo of the D1000 And Da1000 with aftermarket acpower cord with the presence of TAD personal on the launching venue.
