I bought a TADAC from a fellow gonner and he had an extra set of Electro Harmonics as well as the stock tubes. Both sounded OK, but I figured things could sound better. I just put in a pair of the French Mazda tubes and I am very impressed (scratch that- extremely impressed) with what they have done for this DAC. Everything has improved after putting in the Mazda tubes- soundstage, macro and micro dynamics as well as being more musical.
Before I was getting some distortion in the vocals on certain recordings I believe the term is called microphony.Please forgive me if I got the term wrong this is my first go at tube gear. Anyway the distortion is now eliminated after putting in the Mazdas.
