    TAD M1000 vs M2500 thoughts?

    Pondering between a new TAD M1000 power amp and a 8 years old used M2500 mk1. I’ve read the M2500 is overall more expensive than the M1000 as it has much bigger transformers and it’s cut from a 90kg aluminium block, with the M1000 having updated internal components vs the M2500 mk1, and that the...

    Fuse upgrade for MBS DAC

    I’m about to receive my new MSB discrete dac and pretty excited about it. I have a spare SR purple fuse which I have in my previous dac. It’s a 2A and not a 2.5A as the one coming standard with MSB. Would it work as well? Is the SR purple a good match with the MSB discrete? Thanks for the advice.
