| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! georgehifi, would the absolute confidence of your highly opinionated post indicate that you have heard the Alexias with ALL muscle tube amps such as Jadis JA200, Ja500, CAT Statements, VAC Statements, VTL Siegfrieds, Tube Research and others? I am... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! rcprince, you are correct, I was experimenting with straps. However, I heard no audible difference between 4-8ohm and 1ohm settings - at least not a significant one. That is why I did not bother to change them back to 4-8ohm setting before shippi... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! daveyf, the Ja200 MKii amps in the review belong to us. They are currently driving the most difficult speakers to drive on planet earth, MBL 101E MKII. The highs are mind blowing and the bass is as good as with 2 pairs of MBL N15 mono blocks i... | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol astewart8944, we carry 2 lines out the ones you are interested in - Spendor and Marten. We do have Spendor D7 and Marten Django L on display but unfortunately we are not exhibiting them this year. We would be happy to set up an audition should yo... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Keithr, yes, there is a simple modification that would enable you to use any tube you wish - KT88, 6550, EL34 and others. Although, KT150 sound so good in i50 that I do not see any need for it. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Matching /amp/preamp is always a good idea, I agree. Especially in case of Jadis. That is why I recommended JPS2 in the first place. For gwalt's audition of the JA30 MKii we used top of the line 4 chassis JP200MC. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? butler, all Jadis pieces get silent updates from time to time that improve upon the original design. That would apply to JP80/JPS2 as well. We have used those preamplifiers in variety of full range systems playing heavy rock material with terrific... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Daveyf, which CAT do you have? And yes, Of course I rolled tubes. I even convinced Ken that some of the NOS improve the sound:) As great as Jadis integrateds are, you really need to hear the mono blocks to get a real taste. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? butler, certainly. I will have preamplifiers for you to hear. Let me know in advance when you are planning to visit so I can have everything ready. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Butler, Audio research Ref 6 is $14000, if I am not mistaken. The compatible preamp in Jadis line would be JPS2 for $14900 which is basically a line stage version of the venerable JP80 with an extra CD input tube. CAT SL1 Renaissance line stage is... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? butler, the usual lead time is 6-8 weeks since they are all built per order. They do come on a pallet. I personally like KT150 so much that I would not even care to experiment. Especially after we had new CAT JL7 amps at AXPONA with the similar st... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? butler, thank you. Feel free to call me any time. I will at the Munich show Tuesday through Monday. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? butler, sorry for this very late reply. I was so busy with Axpona that I did not really check the thread. We had two rooms and our big room received top 5 from J. Valin and the best cost no object analog setup awards.JA30 MKII have the bass that i... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Gwalt, yes, my comments are are based on KT150. Butler, absolutely! I listened to the whole Dark Side of the Moon (great Japanese pressing) and regardless of it being one of the most difficult records to reproduce correctly, the amps did a spectac... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? P.S. The cables are Stealth Sakra V12 and Dream V14 with tuning rings. |
