I was invited to a lunch appointment by AV DESIGNS (MALAYSIA) SDN BHD to meet up the gentlemen from TECHNICAL AUDIO DEVICES LABORATORIES, INC (TAD, JAPAN), Kazuto Okura-san and Takehito Sekiguchi-san.
Apparently, TAD‘s local distributor, AV DESIGNS have just received their first M2500TX stereo class D amplifier,
but with Powerful Linear Power Supply!
After the generous and delicious lunch from AV DESIGNS, all of us were invited to their showroom for a ‘listening session‘ with the new M2500TX amplifier in…
an almost all TAD components audio system
(except for the INNUOS streamer/ server), and even connected with TAD cables.
I admit that I have always appreciate and fond of the ‘sound quality, design and build quality’ of TAD (eventhough I have yet own anything from them), especially their amps, loudspeakers and disc player…
and I have never shy away from recommending their products.
After that ‘listening session‘, I was ever more convinced of my appreciation and fondness for their ‘sound quality, design and build quality’,…
especially the SOUND quality of the M2500TX;-
The Total Silence between each note from the instrument was Eeriely Enlightening
(in the most positive sense).
The Pace, Rhythm, and Timing (PRaT) were Spot On!,
in my audiophile book.
The resolution of the human emotion was nothing short of amazing,…
able to present the ‘Humanistic Elements‘ in the Voice and Note.
