I just listened to the newly remixed Beatles Let it be in 24/96. Since it was done at Abbey Road, I wondered if the stereo mix was at least mastered on their TAD R1. I emailed abbey road to ask about it. If I get a response I’ll post here. The new remix sounds mostly excellent, but on a couple of the tracks I would call it outstanding.

Thanks for posting this. I read I think here about Abba using the CR1’s, but it’s great to see the studio. Does anyone know if the the TADs are a new acquisition for them? Is this their own studio? I wonder what amps they are using, since we all know the TAD’s are highly revealing of anything upstream.

The studio bought TAD CR1 in 2013.

Here is a link to some more info about the studio and the dealer that sold the TAD speakers.

It's in Swedish so you have to translate it.


In 2013 there was just one dealer that sold TAD in Sweden but today three is two and I was lucky that my dealer is the second one. A happy TAD owner for a couple of years now and right now I have a C600 on loan from my dealer.

A pair of the big TAD was at CAF 2021. At the end of the day it was just me. The presenter ran through a bunch of digital files for.me. I did hear anything this speaker could not handle.There was no big scale orchestra.

Hi could you elaborate? Unclear what you meant.

Most of their albums are done with TAD but for this new album they apparently added Zellaton as well.
Speakers (mixing): TAD Compact Evolution, Zellaton Plural Evo

Thanks for posting this. I just purchased the DSD 64 version of this and 3 Hands clapping.
Wish I could play the the higher res versions. The other one mic recordings of theirs I have are excellent, including Feen Brothers play Brubeck.

I’ve only listened to 2 cuts of Red so far but the drums are fantastic.

I think the most important part of the sound is how they record it, 24bit DXD, but afterwards a DSD 64 0r a 24/96 still sounds fantastic.
