Hi I al still waiting the best amp for my TAD Cr1tx. I own Kondo Melius, Kondo G700i pre, Gryphon Diablo 333 integrated, Accuphase A80, I own before Pilium Leonidas, Pilium Ares Pre and Iasonas Amp…and I want to say that there is no better amp for TAD. Because they are so transparent than it’s only a matter of taste

I highly recommend TAD M700 for TAD CR1TX .
Perfect match, enough Power, all things goes right

Right.. now you mention that.. I have one of those (Emitter II Exclusive Battery) ....
Any experience around on mating ASR with the CR1 ?

I think the power of Emitter II (for TAD CR1) is enough for small to medium room sizes. In big rooms you can use two complete set of ASR Emitter II.

Finally The best Amplification for TAD R1 and CR1 is TAD M700.

Oh wow. If that is so, knowing the power specs and abilities to drive very difficult loads of the ASR, that is NOT a compliment for the CR1 at all....
Is your statement from experience? Is the CR1 such a diva?

No, I had ASR Emitter II and CR1 but I did not have both ASR Emitter II and CR1at the same time so I did not listen to Emitter connected to CR1 .

TAD CR1 needs power but in small rooms I guess Emitter II exclusive (550w 4ohm) will drive CR1.

I also listened to Krell Evo One 1064w (4ohm) with TAD CR1. It seems you can put over 1000w (4ohm) and enjoy CR1.

It finally happens...

In this entry I reported on my various “attempts” at an integrated amplifier for the TAD CE-1.

From June 2024 to the end of January 2025 I was also very satisfied with the Power III from Accustic Arts (new rack was also purchased).

But somehow it didn't feel “right” - maybe you know that...

Thanks to a free tweak of the Devialet (disconnecting the WLAN card from the power supply), it was even able to outperform the Power III in terms of sound and so I switched back to the Francis.

Fortunately, I was able to sell the Accustic Arts at very short notice without any loss.

Then last weekend I received a very lucrative offer for an almost 8-year-old SIA-025 from Vitus - I picked it up in person on Tuesday.

So now the amplifier is finally playing, which has more than clearly outperformed all previous ones - I couldn't be happier at the moment...



Now it's time to optimize the setup for the Vitus for the rest of the year - I'll then look around for a new DAC in a medium-sized cabinet.

The Ferrum ERCO/Hypsos is currently doing the job.

I was thinking of a “DAC200” from T+A, “Tambaqui” from Mola Mola or the “502” from Weiss Audio - do you have any other recommendations?

Nice Weekend to all of you with lot´s of Great music.

atb, Tom

I love Vitus class A amplification , you can use weiss dac 502 . Very good match

My recommendation in combination with VITUS SIA025 :
Weiss DAC 502 ... but not the standard version : model DAC 502 MK2 - 4CH
It is a great combination !

ASR Emitter can be considered as power amplifiers + a passive attenuator preamp ... so based on my experience, ASR Emitter amplifiers can be considered as very good or even fantastic amplifiers ... but from my opinion mainly in combination with speakers with quite high sensitivity (or not at minima quite good sensitivity).

Hi Tom539
I have seen that you have a Blue Amp "Model 42" phonostage ... i have this model on my radar.
Can you maybe give a little feedback about this model from this little manufacturer from Germany ?
Thanks in advance !
