Jadis orchestra reference or DA50 for Proac D15?
The relevant question is, are you satisfied with the way your Cayin drives the ProAc D15? If so, either Jadis will get the job done.I own a JOR, DA30, and DA60, and would tend to agree with Avguy about the superiority of the DA50S over the JOR, th... 
The downward spiral.....
Excellent (and true!) topic.For all of the expensive amps I own, not a one sounds as right or provides me with as much musical enjoyment as my (bone stock, but with modern parts) Dynaco ST70. More or less, the same is true of some of the Fried lou... 
DIY record cleaning solution recipe needed
Hdm, "High purity isoprpopyl alcohol is really an ineffective or unnecessary cleaning agent."Exceptionally good advice. We take this stuff WAY too far. Speaking as a chemist/material science engineer, when alcohol comes in very high purity, it doe...

I've never compared apples to apples - mesh plate 300B from TJ to their solid plate. But, for what it's worth, I have compared the TJ mesh plate against Shuguang solid plate 300B, and the TJ were superior in every way. To me, they were most defini...

KT120 Tube compatibility w/ Jadis Defy 7 Amp MK 1
Doc, my experience with Jadis biasing is that when they say "rebias", it is always to the same spec (in the case of my JOR 90 - 120 mv, 110 being the ideal value), regardless of the different (or, even same - EL34, 6CA7, KT77, 6550, KT88, KT90) ty...

KT120 Tube compatibility w/ Jadis Defy 7 Amp MK 1
Heard back from my friend at Jadis.KT120 tubes present no problem at all in the Defy DA7. Only rebiasing is necessary.
