Why Jadis?

Introducing Jadis

The ultimate handcrafted tube amplifier.

Jadis was founded in 1983 with a profound passion for making audio equipment which would faithfully reproduce the emotion of a live performance. Driven by this passion Jadis committed to it's own state-of-the-art research and development program. This led to a very unique design philosophy and the development of the incredible Jadis output transformers.

Jadis output transformers are made entirely within the Jadis factory in Villedubert, France. They are hand wound then poured into a special resin which guarantees extremely low noise operation and thermal stability. Jadis output transformers are known to be indestructible in service and give their amplifiers absolute stability regardless of the load. The specifications are extraordinary; in fact the maximum acceptable power is 2500 Watts before saturation! Therefore Jadis amplification is ideal for almost all acoustic speakers regardless of impedance, type of design, or efficiency.

Only Jadis delivers this kind of performance. As a result Jadis amplifiers have tremendous dynamics across the entire frequency range with a total lack of coloration.

Jadis offers a broad range of products including: integrated amplifiers, preamps, power amps, phono stages, cd players, cd transports and DACs. Jadis integrateds start at $5,490, preamps start at $6,500 and mono-block amplifiers start at $6,400 per pair.

Improvements in Today's Jadis

Although Jadis does not change their model numbers very often, there have recently been very substantial improvements made to Jadis products. The magnetic circuit, copper wire, insulation and manufacturing techniques of the transformers have been improved. The circuitry and filtering of the power supplies have been upgraded. Internal wiring has been changed to a higher quality silver cable. The stainless steel chassis has been upgraded to surgical quality. Internal components such as diode bridge and capacitors have also been improved. As a result, the new generation of Jadis products offer significantly higher performance and reliability than ever before.
