Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???

Charles,

I think so but allowing it to fully break in. I am also going to try some JJ driver tubes in place of the Electro Harmonix. I am not real fond of bright tubes as the EH tend to be. Nothing exotic about the tubes in the amp..... just tractor like power supplies. It is changing as time goes on.
Sure has a grip on the speakers like nothing I have experienced. Not used to the tight grip and dynamics it has and the extension/openness. It is a stereo amp. with a monster soundstage.....sounding more like monoblocks. Way different than the Jadis emotion.
I had my preamp and cables with me in Denver.....just not perfect with no similar speakers so the auditions become somewhat a best guess.
Fingers crossed but my bank account says it must work as I had to sell the amps. I had planned on long term. Davey benefited from the deal so glad for him.
CAT is an intriguing amplifier for sure. It all becomes individual taste and the movement of the emotiions. We will see but I have some getting used to them to do.

Well, it turns out that the new Jadis JA30Mk2’s are very sensitive to the power cord that one uses..perhaps like most amps. Anyhow, after trying several candidates from various companies, like Synergistic, Cardas, Black Rhodium, Pangea, a Nordost Heimdahl, the clear winner, and in my opinion miles ahead of the others is: the superb Audio Art SE 1 cable with the excellent Furutech connectors.
I am so impressed with this cable that I think it is probably the absolute best cable for this amp. Truly a match made in heaven. 
Big shout out to Rob Fritz and his over the top performing Art Audio SE 1 power cord. Thank  you, Rob!

Hi Daveyf,
Its a good thing when you achieve that type of synergy.  As you know it can require some patience and trial and error.  It surprises me when some people dismiss the effect of power cables and consider them "snake oil " products.  Just as with you I've heard better quality power cables make a real improvement in the sound.  So as always to each their own.

Davey:
Good for you. Cables are a weird experience and all about system synergy as Charles notes. Power delivery in all parts of the country differs. I assume you have some interference living in CA. ha.
I used JPS Labs Aluminata on them and I still like them on other equipment. To each his own.
Best of Luck.

Thanks guys. Last night I had a long listening session..and one that was quite amazing. I managed to add my two REL subs ( after having custom cables built for me by Frank at Signal) and got them dialed in. The result with the new Jadis being powered by the Art Audio cables and the subs now in the room, was a sound that easily surpassed anything that I have managed before. Right now I am pretty happy!
When you get it right, the question becomes is it wise to get off the bandwagon, or continue to tweek....hmmm??

Like you guys correctly point out, synergy is so darned important in this hobby. But wow, once it all locks in...:0)
