Curious as to why Mr Jadis did not come up with a 300B PP and also a 2A3 PP design???
*IFFF* thats a big IF, FR interest ever does get steam going in its train engine,,, you might also see interest begin flowing into lower power PP designs like the 300B and 2A3.
But as we know
1) general interest in all things audiophile are not as strong as they were 10, 20 years ago.
The new commers have all this digital gadgets and head phones.
2) you can find so many offerings on the used market, which cuts into new sales, thus new designs can't get the funding.
3) xover speakers just seem to facinate and dazzle both old and young audiophiles.
Guess this has to do with the typical american ego trippin on power.
I'm doing all I can to push the lower power amp agenda , as the superior musical soundstage when paired with the right speaker.
Hopefully Mr Jadis is reading my post and will at least ponder is the company should slow down on big power amp offerings. And start designing amplifiers that offer finesse and fidelity, such as the 2A3 PP design.
I think china's manufacturers have the leading edge over EU and USA companies and this trend will continue.
And you know it.
My amp, and speakers , Made In China.
can you believe it. China beat out the worlds best amplifier, Jadis. (Both techs here , just loved to trash the Defy all the time...)
A tube made all the difference.
