Guys, how about adding a new Jadis (not old) into a mix ?
How would they stand against ARC as for signature sounding and other criteria that I listed on OP?
I could consider Jadis integrated instead of Jadis stereo amp
Thanks all so very much
Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers.
Hello Agoners,
May I ask how would these 3 companies stand out from each others?
Can we rank them as for:
1. Sound quality
2. Performance
3. Reliable
4. Reputation.
5. Service and support
6. Resell value.
I’m still very new to tube amps and only had Cayin A-88T and VTL ST-150 in the past.

@onemadchemist I haven't heard the Ayon, but I had my Ref 6 upgraded to the SE late last year. My biggest observation was that the soundstage sounds more dense. I don't know how it would compare to the Ayon in that context but it was noticeable for me in my system. I also feel the soundstage expanded even further (well outside my room's boundaries) and, not that I ever had a problem with the noise floor on the regular Ref 6, the '6SE has individual instruments emerging from the blackest background I have ever heard in my system. I'm not wanting for anything more, it's a nice (if temporary) break from the upgrade itch. FWIW other components are ARC REF as well. |
I have Audio Research, LA audio (no longer in business), Shanling, and Cary Audio. Cary CAD is 60 watts pure class A stereo tube amplifier and I personally like it the best of my tube tube amps. I thought about upgrading to another tube amplifier (Ayon Audio, Allnic Audio, or Atma Sphere) all class A amplifiers, but not sure it's worth the money. |
