I dealt with the US distributor a few years ago to find out additional details on buying a used Jadis amplifier... the distributor berated me for such a thought and that the amplifier I was going to buy was a piece of junk. He claimed the power transformer would blow up on me within 6 months and cost me as much to replace the transformer as the amplifier itself. He then proceeded to try and sell me a new one direct for his cost. When I told him I wasn't going to buy from him (he offered me a great deal but I didn't have the extra $$$ at the time), he hung up on me. I did a little more investigation and found his dealer network had all but dropped him. More than 3 yrs later, the thing is still kicking and sounding as good as ever.
