    Any love for Thrax Teres mk2?

    I own TAD ME1 speakers and recently added TAD M1000 power amp in the chain. It replaced a Vitus RI-101 mk2. I run the MSB Discrete dac straight into the TAD M1000. The turntable goes through a MFA baby reference 2 passive preamp. Nice sound but not fully convinced. Today I have received a...

    TAD M1000 vs M2500 thoughts?

    Upgrading from Vitus RI-101 mkII with TAD speakers

    I feel is time to upgrade my amp and not easy to make a choice. Currently playing MSB discrete and Linn LP12 through Vitus RI-101 mkII with TAD ME-1. Beside the wish for an overall improvement, I’d like to improve dynamics and details at low volume, let’s say 70db. I like Vitus sounds and it...
