Change the preamp. JPL is like chocolate syrup.
Jadis JA-80: Tubes and speakers.
I am sorry to have to raise old issues here but I am looking for some updated information.
I just bought Jadis JA80 circa 2000. It came with the GE 6550 but I changed the tubes for KT-120 (authorized by Jadis).
The ECC83 and ECC82 are Telefunken.
Still, I don't feel in audio heaven. (preamp is JPL).
I was thinking of trying other tubes like JJ EL34L. I was wondering if anybody compared the El34 variety to the KT variety on the JA80.
The speakers I have are ESP Bohdran (92 db) but I feel the match is not perfect. (I also have Luxman M900U which sounds much better with the ESP, although it lacks that 'tube magic').
The main complaint I have is in the mid-bass (too bloated), and not enough dynamics.
So any suggestions for tubes and speakers for the JA-80?
Thanks.
