Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???

Gwalt,
I met Ken Steven’s a few years ago at CES and he was using his preamplifier and mono blocks driving the Wilson Sasha. Those are no doubt impressive power amplifiers. I’m quite familiar with his CAT preamp as two friends of mine had them at one time.

Gwalt and Daveyf I have no doubt that the Jadis would sound marvelous with my Coincident Total Eclipse II speakers with their 14 ohm load. The thing is that I have an amplifier that is superb with these speakers. Believe me, I get the frequent argument for more power. I have both a 100 watt PP tube amplifier and a 40 watt amplifier. The 8 watt Frankenstein SET is better than either.

I suspect that the pure class A Jadis could outperform my PP amplifiers and most likely rival the Coincident Frankenstein MK II. I’ve had this Coincident amp/speaker combination for over 8 years and yet my appreciation continues to grow. Clearly there are other worthy superb amplifier choices besides what I have. Fortunately you only need one superb amplifier😊. 

Sometimes you just find what you consider an ideal musical match. The glorious 300b SET does it for me. Certainly the Jadis does it for you Daveyf, and Gwalt the CAT in your case. I believe that it’s fair to say that we are all thrilled with our respective current systems,.

Fair enough and I agree with your assessment which is where I am heading.......a final destination. I thought I was there until I picked to little power. That's what makes this hobby so difficult and or fascinating at the same time as there are endless possibilities to reach personal satisfaction.

Gwalt, one of the things that I think we would both agree upon, is that the sort of sidetrack that you made, probably should not have happened.
IMO, a dealer whom we rely upon to confirm product synergy should supply with you exactly that. If they fail to do so, inadvertently or otherwise, it would generally lead one to concern. I know in this hobby that there are endless possibilities, like you said, but I am always concerned about people in the industry who profess knowledge, and either have it and lead you wrong ( for their own agendas), or simply lack the experience that they posses to have. I rarely talk to any dealer these days who will contemplate that there may be consumers out there who actually know as much or more than they do! A pity.

Jadis JA 30MK II preferable over the Jeff Rowland.
CAT preferable over the Gamut. 

Two high esteem solid state amplifiers,  but there's just something about tubes when done right. I refer to it as the "breath of life " factor. You just know it when you hear it.  I believe that both of you know what I mean.
