Reprince how do i bring up the thread "Jadis Faithful"? When i first stumbled upon this strange name "Jadis", i went straight to their web and was "BLOWN AWAY" withwhat i saw and read. No mention of their name in the "popular"audio mags. So is my hunch correct ,that Jadis is a bit esoteric,"us Jadis faithful". "They present music SO natural",this says it all for me.Is this just a passing infatuation for me? OK Tireguy, lets hear from you,as well as from Detlof ,Sedond, Blast away!.For Plato and Gasman ,is there something EXTRA-ordinary about Jadis or not? Convergent Audio Technology claims they engineer "THE BEST TUBE AMP. IN THE WORLD". But if the Jadis sounds almost as good and is ALOT less expensive then Jadis gets the medal.

The thread -tube amps with big balls- started on 9-28-00 by Mistalava generated great intertest for 18 months and has 90 posts. However no mentioned was made of the 3 french labs above. There are very few reviews by the "professional" audio critics , as well as few comments here on audiogon. Thus there is a sort of mystique about these captivating french beauties.(refer to Soundbugl's perceptive comments on tubes as feminine and ss as masculine 3-30-01). For me they border on the esoteric, maybe because, where do you go to listen? as well the price tag. So to those own or who have heard the 3, lets hear from you. Do all 3 get the gold?
