@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. http://www.jadis-electronics.com/en/i70-57.php |
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. DEfy Miles Davis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcjYiZztHgM&t=1s JA30 Miles Davis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlOhiTpZCek&t=2s |
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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRImqIdXRX4 |
