I assume that Jadis has not tester their amps with the KT120 tube, therefore, they are unable to give you an opinion. Audio Research was the same way with some of their KT88 based amps when the KT120 came out, but they did not refer you to an outside tech, they just said "no".
Jadis bias values and customer service
Hello all,
Had a conversation with Jadis today in French as I reside in France. I have a DA-7, a DA-5 and a DPL2 since 1996 and needed some information on KT120 tube compatibility and bias values. Simple questions...
JADIS officially and categorically refused to answer my questions and invited me to take my equipment to a technician (of which there are not many servicng Jadis products...). Yes, that is correct, no simple information was given to me as a faithful customer since 2 decades.
I assume, for those of you in countries other than France, that your dealer or retailer could obtain any information you might need, but my retailer has been closed for many years...
For those of us who can safely perform basic operations, like adjusting bias on fixed bias amps(!), Jadis' attitude is not putting the customer first, but rather its network of retailers or technicians. Personally, I don't agree with this policy.
Part of what we enjoy about our hobby and the various equipment we have, is the very ethos of the manufacturer. I feel that Jadis has taken a serious hit for mistaking its customers for imbeciles.
Good listening to all...
