TAD-M2500TX – New Amplifier will be Available in Mid-April 2025
15.04.2025 06:21 | ~1 minute read
Technical Audio Devices Laboratories has introduced the TAD-M2500TX stereo power amplifier – the device sports a completely rethought circuit design, uses upgraded power transformers and a redesigned machined aluminum chassis (machined from a 90 kg solid block of aluminum).
The TAD-M2500TX weighs 42 kilograms and offers 2 x 550 W into a 4 Ohm load at 0.05% distortion and 112 dB signal-to-noise ratio. The amplifier operates in a frequency range from 10 Hz to 50 kHz and has a gain of 29.5 dB. TAD-M2500TX uses a bridge-tied load design that connects two amplifiers in a balanced configuration in the circuit from input through output stages. The redesigned machined aluminum chassis has no joints, and the amplifier's grounding scheme has also been upgraded.
The model uses twin high-capacity toroidal transformers with a power rating of 1 kVA each. All connections inside the device are made of oxygen-free copper coated with nonmagnetic materials to eliminate even the slightest magnetic distortions. The amplification scheme itself remains the company's favorite class D, but quite tricky - simplified Class-D single-output-stage consisting of power MOSFET devices with ultra-low on-resistance.

Thrax Audio Cotys – an Uncompromising MC-Phonostage from Bulgaria
The innovative Thrax Audio Cotys phono preamplifier is presented – a model designed for fans of High-End equipment and developed in Bulgaria. The device is designed to work with MC cartridges and uses a fully balanced RIAA equalizer based on LCR filters. The innovative differential input stage and nanocrystalline inductors set a new standard for noise levels – it does not exceed 70 nV! Fully adjustable load/gain (100 – 1,000 Ohms and 50 – 70 dB) is the cherry on the cake.
