I'm done Really


I can't tell you how many times I've said that. I said it about six months ago when I bought a new amp. Well...I just bought another amp. The same one I had about a year and a half ago (the wife loves it when I do that). I love this hobby, but why must I constantly tweek & replace equipment?

Surely I'm not the only one.

now that is the thing - Vegasears hit it squarely - the *#**!@* boxes... no end to the merriment they cause - but I'll tell you its a fine way to avoid putting something like a treadmill in the garage LOL
Ecruz,
I have the Unison Unico running a pair of Triangle Antals. The Unico has a tube pre-amp stage- thus like a tube pre with a solid state power amp. This seems to be a particularly good match with my Triangles with awsome midrange, dynamics, and sweet highs. But I don't think it would match your combo- in particular with power hungry speakers. It also costs considerably less. I do think you are in a very good place, TAD 150 and the DNA 1 are awsome components for the money. Lets see how long you last though....
But I share with you the feeling how this uppgrade addiction is brought about by this site.. Although I say I'm done.. I still check every day...
You're definitely not alone! I have a vandy 2ce sig powered by a McCormack DNA-1 deluxe and a TAD 150 sig. It's almost identical to your system. I have owned the TAD 150 for only about 2 months now. I love what this tube pre-amp does for my system, and this has gotten me thinking about going tubes all around. I was hoping to sell all my components from my pre-existing system, but what I ened up doing is setting up a bedroom system with all my old stuff. As Vegasears says, I am running out of space!

What are you using for your source components, IC's, PC's, speaker cables?
