Jadis musical value?

As with every piece of equipment I have auditioned and owned, it comes down to system synergy and individual leanings. I have owned a Defy 7 followed by a pair of JA 200's with JP-80MC driving a pair of, amongst others, Avalon Ascents (which my wife continues to feel was the most musical system I assembled) with much success. Still, I looked for greater delineation and frequency extension, so I bought and sold other amps and had the Jadis preamp heavily modified. Today the Jadis preamp remains a mainstay now powered by Joule OTL's. Very musical, yet more dynamic swing than with the all Jadis system. Important to emphasize, these Jadis components are mid 1990 generation. I have had very pleasing results in terms of reliability. Short of a transformer going during a thunder storm all has run free of down time.

You've got to try the equipment with your cables, room, speakers, etc. I have heard this stuff, that is many audio products, sound disappointing to nearly "live-like"

Opinion? About what? sound quality or about music performance?

>>the most musical, the most enjoyable sounding equipment in the market.<<

It is your opinion that Jadis are the most musical and most enjoyable.

Others, I among them, do not agree with your opinion and that's fine.

However, there is no universal "best" or "most" in our hobby.

Isn't it assumed that when one gives in opinion, it is theirs? Especially when they are not quoting someone else.

David12, You're right of course. My post was carelessly composed and misrepresents my admiration for the Solista - a truly fine amplifier and, in my opinion, a tremendous bargain for the prices I've seen them offered on Audiogon.
