Jadis amplifiers: rolled off treble?
Not trying to sound cavalier but if the music sounds more pleasant then who cares if the amps are rolled off? I have 3 of their amps and what they all do that I love is midrange. Rich, lush, warm midrange. 
an amp without "electronic" sound

Bias Instruction for Jadis Defy 7 MK-ii
The Defy is not a self bias amp. I don't know who told you that, Des. I've had 2 of them. They are very easy to bias. Send me a pm and I'll send you a picture of how to do it.

I've spent a fair amount of time listening now. The amps have been powered up constantly since Friday so everything should be fully charged. I was listening last night to Lyle Lovet's Joshua, Judges, Ruth. I'm sitting there listening to a few cuts...

Do you remember?
I second Hales. I just picked up a set of Concept 5s'. What a speaker. The other speakers I have are now standing in a corner. 
NHT3.3 to Viena Acoustic Mahlers
I owned 3.3s for a few years. They do a lot of great audiophile things(soundstage, imaging,et.al)but their tweeters become very tiring. 
TNT6 Platter speed
Contact VPI they are very helpful. I had a speed problem when I upgraded to the SDS. I bought a KAB speed strobe as the VPI disk use useless to me. I didn't like buying the KAB for 100.00 and only needing it once but hey, that's the high end. 
Tube dampers?
I tried using O rings on my pre. Didn't notice any change. After a while the tubes started to make a ringing sound so I removed them. I think I'll try some teflon tape as I have some on hand. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Hales Concept 5Just picked up a pair for 1100.00. These are really nice. Big, rich, realisic sound. I can't ask for more.
