"TAD TD-2002 seems to have that "interesting" tone"
The TAD TD-2002 has an interesting frequency responce, it goes as a technically perfect driver should up to app, 15Khz then there is an unusually softly rounded peak around 20kHz with an amplitude of about 10dB.
It can be said to have a extra juicy high frequency reproduction, it also might qualify to have a beneficial resonance or interesting tone.
The TAD 4001 and 4002 have a number of sharp narrow resonance peaks in the range 10kHz-20kHz, some love them and mistake them for a detailed high frequency responce. I dissagree and find them to have to much attack and to little tonal articulation. Some would probably say they sound sterile.
If you want something more pure (with less sterility and less "interesting" tone), go for a TAD 4003 and remove the bug screen.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
