TAD CR-1's - Just Beautiful with Burmester 911mk3 mono amps ...

[joeinid]

I know this thread is a bit old and in need an update. As impressive as it was at times (Burmester+911's), the Burmester gear on my TADs was not to my liking. It was too aggressive, too much in my face. I much prefer Dartzeel. My Dart 108 amp is just amazing. The Dart is very natural, very musical, and grain free. The Burmesters seem nervous and more electronic compared to my Dartzeel. The Dartzeel allows more detail to come through without a trace of harshness or grain. The Dart does not wow immediately but over time you realize just how magical it sounds. Bass, at first, seems almost lacking compared to the Burmester amps. But give it a little time and oh boy, the bass is there alright. Sometimes shockingly so and on some recordings you never knew just how much quality bass they actually have. The bass definition on the Dartzeel is just incredible. It's not lumped together like on the Burmester. Dartzeel is a keeper.
