Hi risabet:
Nice review! Can you tell me if you had modded the Counterpoint SA-1000 in any way before the change over? (This off course would include tube rolling.) Mine is modded with an IEC using a Cardas Quadlink power cord and 12AT7s instead of 12AX7s. I had come across and was interested in the Audcom AP-100 (much lower cost and which has now been replaced by the AP-120) which apparently was/is the basis for the TAD-150 (which uses better parts?). I had found a site/store that used to carry the Audcom but somehow lost the the account because of a change in the redistrubution chain. The reason I am asking you this question, is that, a modded component can sometimes bring about similar results without the sometimes considerable additional expense of purchasing a new/used component. I'm not saying one isn't justified in their buying decisions to better their systems/music enjoyment, I'm just wondering if different avenues were explored prior to the change-over. Thanks.

K.D.
