Tube Amp for Devore O/96


Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with the Jadis  DA50S amplifier or the Conrad Johnson 62SE or 120SE, or have thoughts on these two amplifier manufacturers generally. I'm wondering particularly how these amps compare and if any of them would be an especially good match for Devore Fidelity O/96 speakers as I move from solid state to tube.

I haven't heard either amp.   Both are probably more amp that you need for your efficient speakers.  the Jadis is Class A which the CJ is ultralinear which is a compromise you don't need.  So between these I'd definitely opt for Jadis if I were buying from specs alone.  You could do fine with a pure SET such as a 300B.

@flipturn Hard to say.  I don't know those speakers either.  they are efficient but not huge.  I have huges speakers that can really fill a room without much energy expended.  

So it really comes down to "would a low power SET sound much better than the Jadis?"  Truthfully I'm listening to a Decware ZMA right now which is very similar in design to the Jadis.  It is more amp than i need but very well designed and sounds great.  

Good luck,Jerry
