Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???


The new Jadis JA30 Mk2 is now on my radar. Does anyone here have any experience with this amp...thoughts?

Would seem to be in the sweet spot of the Jadis line.

@mozartfan  JA30 are over priced?? I don't think this is a true statement. The new JA30 Mk2, NOT to be confused with the older model JA30, is priced at a point that it would be hard for you to name other competing new products at a similar or lower price point that can better it...but do try.
WEll my tech geek always complains Jadis charges for the stainless steel chassis which costs a  small fortune.
The trans are very well made, a  good thing. But come on, all jadis products are wayyyy over priced.
Lets get real. 
Besides the older model would suit me fine.
Jadis are for Dubai Oil Sheiks. 
This idea that  brand X is so much better vs brand y and z is  snakeoil.
All these big power amps from Jadis is ridiculous. 
Jadis should have made 
JA30, JA60 and lets  say 5 or 6  intergrateds.
The future of high end audio is away from big heavy amps.
As WBers will be the speaker of the 21st C audiophile.
Speakers which really only require 1 watt SET amps. 
Caveat, we will need some watts to drive the assist woofers, so 1 watters wont be enough. Bigger SETs and low powered EL34 amps will become The Amps to own.
I'm speaking future, not current audiophile **Ideology cultists* still hung up on big amperage and  low sens speakers.
Jadis has a  hard road up ahead to stay afloat.

Yeah well that might/might not be true
Ck out what Jadis is up to
See this is what sets Jadis apart from the rest of the **pack**.
No one builds  like Jadis.
So over priced??
Not really.

OK 
WE all heard the magic of the JA30/Miles Dvaid Kind of Blue
Here's the Defy's take.
With Mundorf Caps, Takman Rey resistors, Teles in front, Svet's on power tubes.
OK  music starts 1:40 
What you hear in this vid, is pretty close to what you'll hear in my room.
Ok
enjoy.

Here's the same Miles  Davis track as the JA30, Rememer my WBer has highs ens in mids, so bass will be lowered SPL.But 1 to 1, the JA30 will have more kick in bass, although the Defy with Mundorf caps offers all the bass i need for a  10x12x8.5 room.
The Mundorr caps brings in more bass.
These are the SESGO caps.
Jadis ' newest intergrated
I-70 with
KT170 tubes
Now what.
 JA30's vs I-70
I think the new I-70 is going to set new standards for high fidelity tube amplification.
Not sure why Jadis does not install side handles for any of their amps over 60 lbs.
I-70 @ 80 lbs. 
My tech will install chrome  handles on the Defy.  @ 75 lbs.
w/o handles feels like over 100 lbs. 

Anyway, this vid gives a  hint at what the Defy is all about.
