The Jadis was a KT150 but why would anyone use 88, 150 etc when 2a3 push pull out 300b work? Try some EL84 push pull or a 845 or 211

Help: Devore O/96 Integrated Amp + DAC suggestion
I came to this thread searching on Devore, and also found the Lampi. I have been a long time owner of Lampi and own the Golden Gate (with Jupiter caps). The GG sounds best with KR 242, KR PX25, or the special Lampi 45s depending on the rest of the...
