TAD 150

ECRUZ,

Eagleman here. No bass loss with my TAD/ McCormack combo but, I had the DNA-1. I am getting the TAD-60 to replace the McCormack. I am told that the TAD-60 bass rivals the McCormack by the person who originally reviewed the TAD-60. Don't know if it was the right decision but, I had the itch to try a tube amp and the deal that I am getting was hard to ignore. Stay tuned for my review in a few weeks after break in...

Eagleman-
Keep us posted.

I won't be giving up my McCormack any time soon. If I need to upgrade, it will go back to Steve McCormack for one of his improvements.

I'm very interested to see how the tubes sound. The only other time I tried tubes was many years ago, with lesser equipment. That's where my impression of loose bass and constrained highs comes from.

FWIW, I was running a TAD-150 Signature with a McCormack DNA-125. I replaced the McCormack with the TAD-60 and I am very pleased. No bass loss and better midrange and detail.

Mezzro,
I am excited by your remarks. I am going from a DNA-1 unmodded to the TAD-60. It shipped yesterday so I will give the rundown next week...

Did you have any trouble biasing?

Eagleman

Well, I received the TAD-60, biased the tubes in 15 minutes. Hooked up to the TAD-150 and I will definitely say that I am not sorry I sold the McCormack. It took about thirty minutes to really sing. Bass actually stronger and tighter, midrange incredible, detail and soundstage wider and deeper. Very well balanced. I will post an actual review after a few weeks but, first impression consistent with Mezzro...
