| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Guys, what era of Jadis are we talking about here? IMHO, the current mk 2 versions have a different sound than in the past. The new KT150’s are, again IMHO, a lot more revealing and full range than any of the prior tubes that I have heard. When I ... | |
| Need recommendations for inexpensive power cord Frank at Signal does indeed make excellent power cords and cables.i would also highly recommend...particularly if you are using mono blocks, the Art Audio cables and the SE-1 model. A superb power cord that I am now using with my Jadis mono blocks... | |
| Let's talk power cords I am now a VERY BIG fan of the Art Audio Cables. I just added a pair of their SE 1 power cables to my mono block amps....WOW!!These cables are the real deal. Easily besting cables from Synergistic, Pangea and a host of others. The quality of these... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? trelja, Thanks for that. Currently I am utilizing a pair of Siemens 12AU 7 and 12 AX7's...not the standard EH tubes that come stock. I may roll in some Telefunkens or some NOS Mullards ( like I have in my preamp). | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Thanks guys. Last night I had a long listening session..and one that was quite amazing. I managed to add my two REL subs ( after having custom cables built for me by Frank at Signal) and got them dialed in. The result with the new Jadis being powe... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Well, it turns out that the new Jadis JA30Mk2’s are very sensitive to the power cord that one uses..perhaps like most amps. Anyhow, after trying several candidates from various companies, like Synergistic, Cardas, Black Rhodium, Pangea, a Nordost ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Charles, Agree with you 100%. The Jadis do everything you say and more. The Rowland still hits way above its current used price point. In fact, I would be surprised if there were too many current ss amps that are in the $30-50K range that could ea... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Charles, I still believe the Rowland is one heck of an amp. It certainly has a different “flavor” if you will, to the tube amps that I own. However, it depends on your mood. Right now, and after all these years, I am in the mood for more of the ne... | |
| What happened to CAT? Actually gwalt, the current Linn LP12 in full dress easily beats most other analog devices...IMHO...:0)Same with the CAT vs. most other preamps. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Gwalt, one of the things that I think we would both agree upon, is that the sort of sidetrack that you made, probably should not have happened. IMO, a dealer whom we rely upon to confirm product synergy should supply with you exactly that. If they... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Agree with you Charles. Here's the thing of it, until recently, I was pretty happy with my power amp. I had an inkling that the new Jadis JA30 Mk2 was going to be really special...which is why I started this thread. I just did not realize how much... | |
| What happened to CAT? Test pilot, unfortunately what you state applies to most high end manufacturers these days...I actually think that CAT has held their pricing structure better than most...have you looked at the price of some of the new ss gear!Soulution, Boulder a... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Charles, have you heard Jadis in your system..I think it would be a great match up with your speakers and would certainly lead to a new romance. The new KT150's are, IME, a much easier tube to live with...:0) | |
| What happened to CAT? geddyen, do you remember which CAT you heard? Even though the basic design has not changed that much over the years, the newer versions, and those that have been modded or tube rolled, can sound very different to the oldest models. | |
| What happened to CAT? Ok Erik_squires...I will have a shot at this answer....Basically, and strongly IMHO, comparing a CAT to the CJ or modern AR is going to come down to one basic aspect...Dynamics! The CAT is almost unbeatable in this regard...why, I believe due to t... |
