| Jadis ja-200 vs ja500 @taviran I would consider the JA80Mk2. Not going to be a heat engine like the other amps up the line (200 and 500) and will give you the ability to hear the new KT150’s along with auto biasing and enough power to drive your speakers. IME, the best... | |
| Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2 @mozartfan, A fuse will blow before your transformer gets damaged? (not necessarily!)- the fact that you rolled in a KT150 which a) you couldn't get to bias and b) needs about 600+ volts on the rail..which your transformers were absolutely NOT de... | |
| Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2 @mozartfan So, in your not so humble opinion..Cayin is superior to Jadis and KT88’s are superior to KT`150’s. Even though you rolled into your Jadis amp the wrong tubes( the KT150's)...and were lucky ( probably due to the extreme build quality) th... | |
| Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2 I have to really laugh at this thread. Here we have the OP stating that in his Jadis amp, he feels that the new KT150 tubes are a 'flop design' and that they are murky and mushy! Hello, can you say amp/tube mismatch!!!Since the OP's amps were not ... | |
| Subwoofer Question I think a lot of folks make the mistake and assume that all rooms sound the same when it comes to subs. The more subs in the room, IME the easier it is to overload the room....and this really needs to be taken into consideration. Having said that,... | |
| Does this translate? @edcyn Yes, the topic has diverged from my OP...now back to my OP...hopefully. | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm I think the Lyra cartridges get a very bum rap with the folks who are saying they are lean...YES they are lean..IF they are not set up and loaded correctly! ( incorrect set up and loading is how a lot of folks have heard them...and jumped to their... | |
| Does this translate? @edcyn Are you claiming that the review that I referenced that JVS wrote about the Jadis 200Mk2 was based on 'genuine knowledge'...?? | |
| Does this translate? Probably my least favorite reviewer is Jason Victor Serinus...seemingly clueless when it comes to matching equipment and the requirements of each individual piece. Evidenced by his pathetic review of the Jadis JA200Mk2 amps and his brutal load Wil... | |
| Does this translate? @noromance Wouldn't it be 'refreshing' if one of these so called 'reviewers' actually called a spade a spade! Instead we get another ad with no discriminatory listening or opinions. | |
| Does this translate? @millercarbon Here’s the other thing, in the Measurements section by JA..these words only: " measurements of the Aavik U-380 integrated amplifier appear to indicate that the amp had suffered damage, perhaps during shipping- measurements will be pu... | |
| Does this translate? @noble100 So, I listen to this piece and I think it is easily worth $300K, so i guess we should count our lucky stars that it is 'ONLY' $39K...is that your point? Doesn't really work that way in my universe...unless you make $39K in a few minutes... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm Isn't there a very large price difference between the two?? | |
| Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2 Am I reading this right...you rolled in KT150's into your Defy amp?? Now you tell us you think the KT88's are a better match! KT150's were NOT designed to be rolled into the Defy amp! You Sir are very lucky you did Not damage your Defy...and DO NO... | |
| Tube Failure Seems like it was a minor issue. Agree it is strange that the tube would blow upon turn off and not turn on...but you did state that it had an issue on prior turn on. Wonder how often a driver tube blows before a power tube? Has anyone actually ha... |
