Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???

Thanks George, lots to think about.  I of course would want the best synergy....when I get up there to audition the Jadis amp I assume I would be able to see/hear both the Jadis and Cat pre's, so that would be very beneficial.  Maybe even discuss a package deal<-:)

By the way as to the silver faceplates, I emailed Jadis directly a few months ago after I saw the pics I referenced earlier, they responded that indeed the amps & pre's can be ordered that way.  I think I like the cleaner look of silver, but we all have our own preferences.

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. 

George, great to hear that the CAT preamp plays nice with the Jadis amps....I LOVE my current CAT preamp. BTW, have you tried rolling in tubes into yours....a BIG step-up in sound can be had; and for little money.
At the Newport show yesterday, there was only the Jadis integrated playing wth Spendor’s. So, not that great an exhibit, but still a nice intro to the line.

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.

Hello George, 
Congratulations, you did an excellent job with yourJadis system at Axpona  I'm a very happy  user and admirer of SET amplification after a number of years owning push pull(PP)  tube amplifiers. The Jadis based on what I've heard would be my choice if I were to venture back into PP amplifiers. It effectively conveyed the emotion of music. This is what good SET ampliifiers do so exquisitely.
