Jadis Orchestra Reference SE and DA-50 Integrateds

Just out of curiosity, since I may decide to set up a second system later, how would you describe the difference between these integrated amplifiers outside of their roughly double price difference? And how would you compare them to a pre/power combo like the JA-15 and JP-15? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

In France, the Cayin 500 received many rave reviews but I don't think it was ever sold in the US. I have never heard one.

I auditioned both the JOR and 50S side by side and loved both. It was a classic comparison of EL34 to KT88 and so I would pick whichever tube I prefer. Personally, I like EL34 better.

Hey Joe, you have me salivating. Maybe I should just buy your DA30 and quit dilly dallying.

Incidentally, CJ just informed me that I shouldn't be using my Sylvania 3-mica black plate 5751s in place of the 12AX7s in my MV55. They said "the circuit is optimized for 12AX7" and wouldn't tell me anything more than that. In a way, I wonder if it really matters...but now they have me worried. What can it hurt?? Anyway, thought I would mention it. Arthur
