My original setup consisted of a Bryston BDA-1 DAC, a BP-26 preamp and a 4Bsst power amp. I recently upgraded my BDA-1 to a TAD D1000 which has a variable output so I disposed of my BP-26 preamp and the improvement was immense. I don’t really need an analogue pre-amp in my setup so the question is, do I need an integrated amplifier such as the Vitus SIA-025 or am i better off by upgrading to a power amplifier such as the SS 102?
I have heard All TAD loudspeakers,
TAD loudspeakers do not sound bright/forward/lifeless/compress/small , these speakers needs these items to shine:
- very very carefull amplifier matching
- good acoustics (damper is better)
- good AC quality (no ac filter , only delicated thick cable from ac panel)
Hi
I never connected S6 to ME1 but one of my friends have Nagra 300B connected to ME1 . Nagra is good for ME1 in small room.
I can not guess about amplifier speaker matching because it is very complex.
what I know TAD electronics are good for TAD speakers. I can imagine high power zero feedback SS amplifiers like Ayre are also ok for TAD.
