TAD and Zesto pre amp
I've read some nice reports on the Zesto preamp with TAD speakers. I'm currently happy with what I'm hearing but I'm curious if the Zesto in my setup would enhance my listening experience and be to my liken. I'm currently running MSB S200 amplifier, MSB Diamond dac with their transport and the TAD R1. I'm using the dac's preamp as pre. Currently it's a fully balanced system. My amps input impedance is listed below. So I think it's a match, what do you think? I'm not sure what their true floating balance means compared to a fully balanced system. I think I need to fine one to demo in my system first?
MSB S200 Inputs Imedance: True Balanced (XLR) Input Impedance 36kOhm Single-Ended (RCA) Input Impedance 18kOhm ZESTO Output Impedance: 150 ohm output zesto

I must admit the fifteen minutes I spent in the Zesto room @ RMAF the impression that came across was quite different from those who went from here on AA.
The phrase "A valve amplifier trying to recreate the Naim sound from the late 70's" springs to mind, I also believe the designer is a fellow countryman of mine as well. One of the least quality sounds I have heard from TAD speakers which is a shame as they did go to a lot of effort.
