Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive?


How does Jadis amps (Defy7, JA 200, ect.) and pre-amps (JPL MK2, 80 MC), compare with the more popular amps of today from VTL, LAMM, and Audio Research. You don't hear much about them anymore. I remember that they were highly regarded when Mr. Victor Goldstein was the importer.

Pierre, thank you for the clarification.

As you can see, Russ (Rcprince) and I are two of the bigger fans of Jadis here on Audiogon. Will you be reestablishing a dealer network in the USA? And, if so, we are in the Northeast (he in NYC and me in Philadelphia), is there any plans for a dealership in this region?

Thank you,
Joe

So, Pierre, inquiring minds WANT to know.

Aside from the press release, is there a dealership potentially on the way in the NYC, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware area in the near term???
I know that one guy currently at my dealer (Mike O'Keefe) probably sold more Jadis than anyone in the country for many years when he was at Audio Outlet, and he's the guy who sold me my JA80s and my JP200. I'd nominate him, if the dealer is interested in carrying the brand again. But in all honesty, it may take a bit of work, including a good repair facility network, to undo some of the damage done to the brand name in the past few years.
