Who's Replaced Odyssey amps/ Extreme / Klaus
I went from all Jadis gear to Odyssey Extream Monos "glass ceiling". I like the sound better. The Jadis is very rich but no resolution. 
Which preamp for Symphonic Line Kraft amps?
Try calling Klaus at http://www.odysseyaudio.com/, he is the Symphonic line importer and a great guy. 
Need help with Jadis JA200
I used EL34s for years with no problems. Like I said earlier I did find the EL34s to be some what speaker specific. There is a guy in Chicago, Jim McShane, I always dealt with. Good guy. http://pages.prodigy.net/jimmcshane/ 
Need help with Jadis JA200
Depending on the speakers you're driving makes a great deal of difference on the tubes you will like(at least it does for me). I used SED EL34s for years on a Cabasse set up. I loved the rich, liquid, sound. When I bought an old pair of Hales Conc... 
Jadis DA30: fuse keeps blowing
Check the tubes first. If the tube is bad it will blow the fuse to protect the speakers.If that doesn't help call Pierre Gabriel. He doesn't return calls or emails easily but stay on him. 
Most resolving solid state amp you've ever heard?
Odyssey Mono Extreme "glass ceiling" or save the upgrade cost and time and check out the new Kismet's. I have the glass ceiling Extremes. I am so impressed that I'm selling all my high priced tube gear.

Bias Instruction for Jadis Defy 7 MK-ii
I've had a few people contact me how to bias this amp. Here is a great article of how it's done and some pictures I took. It's very simple.http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_12_1/jadis-da-7-amplifier-3-2005-part-1.htmlhttp://public.fotki.com/lo... 
Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL
I agree that it was probably a tube failure. I've used the same set of Telefunkens in my JPS2 for 13 years and never had a failure. 
Monoblocks to consider?
Odyssey mono extreams. They have caused me to sell off all my Jadis amps that I've had for 12 years and really love. 
oddyssy mono extreams
Just a short follow up. I've been listening for a few weeks to the upgraded amps. They are nothing short of unbelievable. And Klaus tells me they aren't even close to broken in. Last week I stripped my system down to the amps, CDP straight into am... 
oddyssy mono extreams
I sent them back to Klaus last week for a full upgrade. He says this will be as much as he can do to them.
