JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
Well, True, I guess there have been great SS amps, Luxman, and others,,but the price tag has been high. And in the end, $ to $, Tubes high end (Jadis/Cayin vs high end SS, take your picks,,,at least for me, the more decided flavor would be w/o que...

OK, Yes what i meant is muddy/sloppy warm mid range. Which I have in this cayin MT35./EL34's. Now if I roll the cheap chinese au's/ax's in the Front, has 2 au's, 1 ax,,,perhaps I will add some dynamics to the mids /highs,,But I am going to sell it... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
The Leaf + Defy deserves a  audition. The thought occured to me as i watch a  845 demo on YT, the mids are liquid gold, , yet as you know orchestras are multi layered/very complex interaction of countless FQ's/HZ's. The 845 may meld/= blend>>... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
Here is another option open as a  possibility, Sell the Defy and put that cash into a  cayin 845, the Pro model, not the Limited Edition.This is a  very likely senario to this journey.Good thing is the Jadis was not the cause the hum in start up, ... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
Here's a thought, If the Leaf performs <<OK>>> = Not too shabby sound,,,I may keep this Feal+ Defy7 Set up as 1 system and add,,,yep,,,I'm moving into the audiophile big leagues,,,,adding a ~~~ SECOND SYSTEM~~~, Never ever thought I...

I spoke too soon as to cayin's deletion of products,,seems cayin is alive and well. Designed in Germany, built in china. Beats Jadis by a  very lony mile.Now that new 6L preamp, is nice,,but price?>?? = $$$$$ I am sure,,and this intergrated wit...

China is FAMOYS for STEALING and COPYINg all sorts of techology, This is a fact. But remember China can NOT build a  <<RELIABLE CAR>>> Not in their capacity, China is only good at mass produce, and flimsy made. There are rare except... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
At this point, I'm not looking for Class A sound,,I made a  bad move selling my Jadis Orch Refer, which had a amp + pre all in one.I hold the idea that intergrated are superior to separates. But again, its my opinion. So I have to deal with what i...

here is a  link to the Leaf, not sure if it will load here on audiogon https://www.ebay.com/itm/HiFi-Tube-Preamplifier-Class-A-Single-ended-XLR-Balanced-Audio-Preamp-ARC-LS22/254012527611?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D...

The Xiang 728 arrived, and after 10 minutes of Faith Hill, its going back, as one buyer on ebay wrote back after i read his comment/review on the CLASS A Single Ended tube pre , which he liked, and said he once owed the Xiang and felt it was flat ... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
OK Jon, let me try to explain this story. My Jadis Orch Reference delivered INCREDIBLE sound stage/dynamics, (highs a  bit STEELY/harsh, a  bit I said), as the KT90 EI Czech tubes live up to their reputation, BUT could not hold up as reliable,,unl... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
HOLD ON, SELL is off.Yep, Just purchased the XIANG 728 tube pre, arriving next week, if a  no go, will return and buy a  LEAF  Audio tube preamp.Will report back on all the new listening seesions. Both pres have dual outs, So I just bought a  10 i... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
well i figured why not try to get the amp, pre , cd player up on a  bench , instead of trying to bend over breaking my back, poor eye sight,,all discombobulated,,,so i did just that,,set the Jadis Defy 7 up on a  bench with Lite tube pre Cayin CD ... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
Hi George, Way over my head level of understanding. Good news is I just got back fromm my tech guy in Baton Rouge . The slight hum I heard out the right channel was mainly from the pre,,,,BUT/HOWEVER there is a  MINISCLUE hum, in the jadis right,,... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
I understand the SEAS Thor are demanding, Yet my Jadis Orch Refer made great muisc with those speakers. I sold off the orch due to the EI KT90’s going bad, and replaced with EH KT90’s. saw the Defy up for sale in 2007 on Audiogon, and purchased. a...
