New TAD M700 & M700S

[Rob181]

Good News , TAD Electronics all are Double isolated (Class II appliance) and connecting Class I phonostage (from other brands like Vitus) to TAD is not a good solution.
Class I electronics equipments have earth wire (3 pin AC plug) and Class II equipments have no earth wire (2 AC plug).
It means Class I products connect to wall earth but Class II products are isolated from wall earth wire.

totally I guess TAD Class II design is better for sound specially in dynamics.

What a load of BS & demonstrates your complete lack of knowledge of 100/110 volt in Japan/US versus 220/240 volt in Europe/Pacific - sigh...

I know the main voltage is 100/110 volts in Japan/US and 230 volts in Euro/Iran but there is no relation between main voltage and appliance classes.

if you need more information is here :

I am not sure but Nordost is not silver, it is just silver plated cooper.

Yes maybe... I was talking about the Nordost Odin1 that I used to have which are Silver-plated 99.999999% solid core OFC

Just a personal prejudice, perhaps, from my side, but I really don't like silver plated copper cables. The plating process seems to add an unpleasant edge, probably because in order to plate the copper, an extra layer of some other metal has to be added before the silver can be properly plated on. Also forgot to mention completely (I wonder why) that I once tried a silver Wireworld Platinum 8 XLR cable in my system from the DAC to the preamplifier. Was not very impressed, but that's just one silver cable out of many candidates, of course.

Also, my Signal Projects Avaton AES cable is a blend (not plating) of copper, silver, and gold. Fantastic cable.

The series 2 Iconoclast i use for the concentric driver is silver plated and not bright.

I recently got an used Kimber select KS6065 speaker cable. Mixture of copper and silver.
Quite a significant improvement compared to Mad scientist audio black magic speaker cables

If you had an opportunity to test Skogrand stravinsky or beethoven Please check it.

Seems that Skogrand prices are much higher

 

[kimurastanley]

I have used skogrand Wagner and the cable is very good. Beethoven and Stravinsky is very expensive to me.

I have KIMBER KABLE KS 3038 speaker cables (Pure Silver) that I use on my smaller TAD ME1 and they are very good. Maybe not as good as cables like Skogrand but their prices are really too high

It was an honor to have TAD President to visit my humble listening area/living room last week.

Tarutani-san is extremely humble and nice. He provided a few suggestions on possible ways to improve my setup. We also had nice chat about TAD operation and some interesting facts of TAD listening room reference system.

Looking forward to host him again when he travels to Singapore in the future.

I see Wellfloat Delta under you Tads.
How they improve the sound?
Regards !!!

You should buy Tack Audio Ava 100, very cheap and efficient

You can also explore the ARYA AUDIO LAB Revopod damping footers under your TAD speakers, they fit perfectly and 3 footers can support 120kg. I'm using Wellfloat Delta for my Power Amp.

I already did it.
Too much damping impact in my Tad Cr1s.
They work well under my Perlisten D15S sub.

Very interesting point. How does this translate for you?

Sterile bass and incisive highs.
Sound energy was moved to mids and highs frequencies.

My friend used ARYA AUDIO LAB Revopod damping footers but the result was not good.

I just use wellfloat boards
