Solid State Audio TLS-Audio modification specialsts

Most Ming Da models are now available with a TLS Audio modification.

The TLS stage 2 auto bias modification makes swapping vacuum tubes possible without the need for any bias adjustments. Audiophiles no longer have to worry about drifting bias settings or the need to have the amplifier adjusted by a service technician after a vacuum tube has been replaced. The TLS Audio auto bias circuit controls the bias with great precision to maintain proper bias regardless of the vacuum tube used, tube aging or operation conditions. TLS Audio also managed to remove a number of sound degrading capacitors from the circuit to further improve sound quality. The overall sonic improvement of the TLS stage 2 modification is staggering.

Further sound quality improvements can be obtained by the TLS stage 3 High Speed Power modification. The stage 3 modification reduces the losses of the power supply and improves speed, tracking and reliability. The leap forward in performance turns something like the MC3008-A into a real monster with an unbeatable price/performance ratio. This big 805 tube based singled ended amplifier is clearly one of the most revealing and 3D sounding vacuum tube amplifiers on the market and this sound quality already starts at whisper playback levels. Only a handful of amplifiers can do this.

Note that we recommend the new TLS Audio Anaconda II-F mains cable with build-in loss less RF filter for all single ended vacuum tube amplifiers. This brand new mains cable design by TLS Audio will soon be released.

Original cdp's have enormous potential, TLS Audio HR modifications open up the sound of Original cdp's, bass precision, mid and high range definition, spatial resolution are all greatly improved.

TLS Audio stage 1 modification the replacement of the standard Original cdp mains cable for a high performance TLS Audio Anaconda power cable.

TLS Audio stage 2 high resolution modification includes a modification of the analog stages and power supplies. Sound improvements include a greater spatial resolution, greatly improved resolving powers, more controlled and extended bass, more fluid mid and high range.

TLS Audio stage 3 ultra low jitter clock high resolution modification is custom made for Original cdp's and features a dual regulated ultra low noise class-A power regulation. Jitter is reduced to an ultra low 2ps. Greatly improved resolution, lower grain throughout the frequency range, better pace and rhythm, larger soundstage, holographic imaging.
