Jadis PA100

Description

The new Jadis PA100 is a stereo power amplifier that uses 12 output power valves. It produces a total power output of 150W in class AB. At first glance, one can see that this power amplifier faithfully follows the style of the Jadis product line. Gold-plated front panel, high-quality chassis, point-to-point wiring, large output transformers and power supply. Like all other Jadis equipment, the PA100 power amplifier is handmade in Villedubert in the Languedoc region.

The PA100 power amplifier, with its comfortable power output, will drive any type of speaker with ease. Wide and deep soundstage. Truly pleasant in the midrange, it is always a pleasure to listen to a good vocal performance on a Jadis system, and this remains the case with the PA100. The bass and treble are also rendered perfectly.

«Listening to these electronic components (PA100 and PRE1) must be remembered as one of the best listening experiences we were given. It may not be the most refined compared to a single-ended directly heated triode setup, but it is still very close. On the other hand, they take an undisputed lead in terms of dynamic output and power. Ultimately, this duo is extremely musical and lively with striking tonal accuracy and punch. There is no need to focus to decipher the message as it draws your attention with its communicative realism. Pierre Fontaine – Stereo Prestige et Image N°95 December 2014
