Best transport to use with Jadis JS 1 tube dac

It has been my experience that often old technology sounds best....

To my mind, RCprince's advice is sound....and yes,my ears love that "old technology" almost dayly. Cheers,

Hello Doug99

I have the Jadis JS-1 MKII DAC. I currently have the Jadis JD-1 Transport. This is a very good match. I have tried several other units as transport but none was as good. I have use the Sony 9000ES DVD, Sony 555ES, Pioneer Elite PD65, Theta Pearl, Audio Research CD-1 & CDT-1, Marantz (? on model) Adcom GCD-700 and a Rotel (? on model).

The Jadis JS-1 is a very good DAC and needs a good transport. It seems that it truely does have the ability to responed to the source.

I totally disagree with CARAVAN123a. Some people seem to be bent on only the new. I am sure he finds the CD which is dated use less as well. The truth is the Jadis JS-1 with a good transport will reproduce a CD to a sound level that is so good that I have still not been able to find anything to best it, in my system and for my taste. This includes any of the NEW SACD units.

I know some that tried the Levinson, Krell, Accuphase and complete Theta sets that found the Jadis better.

Of course all of this depends on the total system and the persons taste exc. But people that make foolish statement like CARAVAN123a should be looked at for what they are words that have no meaning from a very narrow mind.

Off the subject. Just got my little Jadis 40 watt Orchestra BEAUTIFUL! Hooked her up to my friends system and he thinks she reveals more interesting music than his AR 100 and AR pre.The Jadis $2500 the AR $8K !! Give me more Jadis!!! New is not always better. The BEST sounding classical recordings are say from 1963 to 1972, if someone wants to adjust those years thanks. This is a great thread for me cause i'm interested in the Jadis CDP/DAC.

Tweekerman, I'm afraid I must contradict you most earnestly, bcause from 1963 there was already a decline in the art of recording classical music. The best RCA's and Mercs are from 59 until about 62 and remain unsurpassed. But as far as EMI and Decca are concerned, you are not off the mark in my opinion. Harmonia Mundi and even some Phillips excelled in the 70s as well. Cheers
