Jadis Fidelity


Somebody can tell me we do not see too many Jadis product on Audiogon? What do I have to expect(buy or sell) for a Jadis 100 (E34 Tubes) ? Do Jadis people keep their gears longer?

Reprince, e-mail your thoughts and questions on the I/O. I'll be glad to share what factual experiences and opinions I have had with the Aesthetix. (Another source) Albertporter is also an I/O fan and has a lot of experience with Aesthetix's products. I asked him a lot of questions after I found out he had an I/O also. He really helped me with NOS suggestions and tweaks to make my I/O even better (my opinion) than the already outstanding factory standard product.
Rcprince, OK I'll report as soon as the unit has arrived, which will be (hopefully) midst next week. Gerrym5: May I get in touch with you about the IO as well? About being killed by the "ATR -ION TW 1S", more about it on www.acapella.de, I would say, what a way to go...but seriously now, the ozone being formed by the burning of the air molecules in the plasma arc, is being oxydised through a catalyst and bound to the copper, the horn outlet is made off. Neat arrangement. Never any ozone in the air.
So the 500's are a different beast altogether and the Defy 7 lacks the subtlety of the other monoblocks? Am I to conclude that the JA 200 is the best for Jadis magical musicality and balls too? How about the pre-amps? Which one is the best and does it have a phone stage?
CWLondon, the 200 is a dream and you are lucky if you can get one. You are right in assuming, that they combine the best of the two worlds. The best Jadis preamp I know is a four chassis job, the JP-200 MC. MC stands for moving coil, so it has a phonostage, you can have a line stage version too. Next to all what has been said above, this gear has even more resolving ability and a wallop and a transient speeed which I have never-ever heard from anything else except in concert. Wonder what Rcprince and Gerrym5 will have to say..
which is the best preamp for Jadis amps,which brands of preamps matches well with Jadis,does it only combine well with a Jadis preamp or can a ss preamp also combine well with a Jadis amps?
