TAD-60 mods

Bypass the volume control
Replace cheap coupling caps
Replace cheap resistors in signal path

This is a great start. The power supply could also be improved by using more capacitance, using chokes instead of the power resistor .....

Use good solid core copper wire.

I have done this plus more to great effect.

Hi Grannyring,
Are we talking about Tube Audio Design TAD-60? If so, do you remember how many coupling caps and their value?
I have its schematic here, I see two .47mfd 400V from 12AU7s 12AU7s ? (I see one .1mfd 400V but not sure)

BTW: I took your advise on jb JFX caps on my Carver 180 - great result and way cheaper in compare with other brand
Thanks

I got confirm from audiokarma - TAD-60 needs 4 of .47mfd
Thx

Ya, the resistors also need to be replaced with Mills....

Grannyring,
These Mills resistors cost even more than jB Premium capacitors :(
Tiny little resistor made in Mexico cost like $4 each
I'm using Mills in my Carver 180 (also with jB caps from your advice) - Great result for little money
Thanks
