Bob,
Great thread! I just received my TAD60 last week and I am not using a preamp. I only use a CD player and have debated getting a preamp. I think the sound is very good by itself but it seems a little unrefined (as you have pointed out). I have just started to tube roll and I am surprised by how substantial the changes can be. I take it from your comments that a preamp is a must to take this amp to another level. I look forward to seeing how you do.
Rockadanny - Don't take this the wrong way but do you work for mapletreeaudio? Your comments come aross as a sales pitch.
Thanks,
Bud
