| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! George, you should remember that ALL speakers react differently regarding the impedance interaction with the driving amp. Therefore, unless you had the exact same pair of speakers that JVS was using, your results with a different speaker are going... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! Kyomi_audio, you make some excellent points. Although I think we have seen Lamm single ended amps (read low powered) drive Wilson speakers like the Alexandria’s quite well..that is not so for the far less efficient Alexia’s. Nonetheless, I think t... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 I just sold my late 80’s era ARC D70Mk2. Replaced it with a pair of new Mono blocks that use the new KT150 tubes. The ARC was an awesome amp...even by today’s standards...back in the day...NOTHING could have touched it! However, the new amps are s... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! trelja, as you may know, you cannot roll in the KT120's and particularly the KT150's into the older designs, without potentially doing damage to the transformers. Only the new Mk2 models have been modified by Jadis to accept the KT150's. | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! Trelja,while I agree with most of your points..particularly the interesting point about the cost in the past and our perception of that vs. today; I think you are showing us that you have not actually heard any of the latest Jadis amps. The new KT... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Gary, the CAT preamp is the heart of the system...you can work around it, but it will be the strength of your system with most any ancillary gear....like you said it is the engine. Before, I think you were working with a 4 cylinder motor....now yo... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! Soundsrealaudio, I like the CAT Preamp....it’s a superb match with my Jadis amps. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Gwalt, glad to hear that the CAT Black Path preamp finally showed up and now you will be enjoying it in your super system.To say a BIG smile will appear on your face once it is broken in a little, is an understatement! These preamps rarely show up... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! rcprince, since I am very happy with my new JA30Mk2’s, I have no intention of selling them....and as such I couldn’t care less whether the review impacts Jadis values or not. However, I do think that the JA200Mk2 review was very poorly done and sh... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! I seriously doubt, knowing the Jadis amps, that the DAC that JVS was using will have enough output to really drive the amp...while this may work with other amps...like a Zesto BIA. I think a great deal of what JVS heard can be attributed to a mism... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! soundsrealaudio, I would suspect that the new Jadis amps would work very well with the Vivid's. IMO, the sweet spot of the Jadis line is the amp that I now enjoy...the JA30Mk2; not sure if this would have enough grunt to drive the larger Vivid's..... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! bdp24, I think you have an excellent point there. Although I suspect that most readers would know that Altec Valencia's have a very specific sound....which may or may not appeal to everyone. Onhwy61, I did not see anywhere in the article a referen... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! Onhwy61, just one problem...is it not the reviewer’s job to try and make sure that the gear under review does NOT have a compatibility issue with his existing gear?...and if so, report on that fact!If JVS speaker’s were not ideal as far as a match... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! Indeed, I am very happy with the midrange reproduction from my new Jadis amps. However, the lows and highs are equally as impressive on my system, the amps are tremendously ‘resolving ‘. More so in fact than any other amp I have had in my system. ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? I have now had the amazing Jadis JA30Mk2 in my system for a few months. Last night, after a long listening session, one thing struck me that these amps have more than any other amp I have heard....Resolution. I was playing the MFSL Anadisc Muddy W... |
