From Source To Sound
W
hen it comes to loudspeakers, our TAD Evolution One, TAD Compact Reference and TAD Reference One — the monitor selected by world-renowned AIR Studios — are acclaimed by sound professionals as simply the finest available. The same philosophy that inspires audiophile leadership continues with a series of electronics, creating a TAD Total Experience with systems that are sonically, structurally and aesthetically synergistic from “source to sound”. Your digital source is our TAD-D600 Disc Player, a CD/SACD transport with incomparably accurate D/A conversion. The TAD-C600 Preamplifier is the perfect match for those requiring a dedicated master control. The TAD-C2000 Preamplifier includes state-of-the-art D/A conversion circuitry that flawlessly renders disc or file-based music libraries. Reference-standard amplification for stereo and multi-channel systems is achieved with our TAD-M2500 stereo and TAD-M4300 four-channel Power Amplifiers, with the monaural TAD-M600 our most powerful statement. Each is a sonic masterpiece worthy of driving the world’s finest loudspeakers — ours. Intent is everything. TAD knows that only by respecting the original artistic intent of the musical performance can our designs successfully achieve that elusive standard known as reference.
Pure intentions.
