Jadis Orchestra Reference: comments

One more opinion(sorry!)... While I originally preferred a separate pre/power amp combination, since living with this amp I have come to see a few advantages of a great integrated: One chassis, which saves cost(dramatically) as well as space. No potential for mismatching pre and power amp. No potential for mismatch of interconnect between those pre and power amps. In fact Mark Levinson now states that their integrated is superior in sound to the same level pre power amps UNLESS a PERFECT interconnect match is achieved(and the price of that pre/power maybe twice as much). And finally, you only need ONE power cord, so you can buy one that is 2X more expensive(not always the true judge of a product) for the same money.

"Knobs and buttons, and gold...etc" How about the sound? Yes, they can "drive" speakers of many sizes and shapes...! But how about microdynamics? You don't mention, WHAT Jadis does better, than other amps...? If you are "reviewing" the amp, give us the real issues, readers are interested in. You've read reviews before...?

This amp was reviewed in issue 58 of UHF magazine.Favorable review.Goo to www.UHFMAG.com.you can order a back issue.

Jeez,tough crowd. Trelja;this is one of the most informative posts I've ever read. I'm blown away by everything in, and about it.Sounds to me like a lot of guys have paid much more to get to the same place;or below. Does it make the coffee too?
