The brand new JP7 pre and PA70 energy valve amplifiers from Jadis promise sonic freedom.
Made in southern France and designed to work both as a pair or individually, the Jadis PA70 energy amplifier and Jadis JP7 preamplifier promise “seamless, fluid and free-breathing” sound all wrapped within the French agency’s signature metal and gold chassis.
JADIS PA70 POWER AMP
In accordance with Jadis, the purposeful-looking PA70 energy amplifier utilises its valve design to current excessive energy and low distortion. This, in no small half due to the KT170 tube, leads to an in depth, fluid sound with loads of dynamic vary.
The PA70 makes use of eight valves, 4 of that are the aforementioned KT170 mannequin beforehand used within the Applause Award-winning Jadis I70 valve built-in amp, alongside a pair of ECC83 and a brace of ECC82 tubes. This totals 50W of Class An influence per channel.
The gang of vacuum tubes is joined by a big, newly designed transformer that delivers “prodigious dynamic and pulse energy” whereas additionally enabling the amp to work in a single push-pull, ultra-linear, triple-load configuration. Furthermore, the driving force and energy stage provides are unbiased, which ought to imply much less compromised energy for every circuit.
In fact, we additionally need to acknowledge the PA70’s polished chrome steel casement and 24-carat gold-plated entrance panel, which, mixed with the glass valves, make it seem like a piece of audio artwork.
JADIS JP7 PREAMPLIFIER
The engaging PA70 energy amp is joined by the suave JP7 valve preamplifier, the model’s most compact (30x29x9.5cm) and inexpensive possibility.
The Jadis JP7 homes a trio of ECC83 valves and affords 5 line-level RCA inputs. The preamp additionally has a distant management, so you will not need to continually polish the unit’s gold-plated management dials.
Alongside the gold plating, the JP7 sports activities the identical non-magnetic chrome steel casing because the PA70. Nonetheless, as beautiful as all that appears, we’re assured that “in depth vibration-damping strategies” are contained inside to mitigate undesirable oscillations that would have an effect on the constancy of your sound.
The Jadis PA70 stereo valve energy amplifier (£10,500/ €11,000) and JP7 valve preamplifier (£4,798/ €4,800) can be found now, and you’ve got an possibility of ordering both with a silver or gold faceplate.
