Jadis Orchestra Black, Chord Dave and Blue 2, Vienna Acoustics Haydn

Occupying a small but significant place in Bluebird Music’s outer suite, the new Jadis Orchestra Black integrated amplifier ($3995) was producing sweet and enjoyable sound that, on a track from Count Basie Meets Oscar Peterson, felt like a lovely warm kiss. Thanks are most certainly due in part to its system mates: Chord’s Dave DAC and Blu 2 transport with built-in MScaler and Vienna Acoustics Anniversary Edition Haydn speakers ($1500/pair).

The Jadis Orchestra Black, which is manufactured for and solely distributed in North America, is a scaled-down, push/pull Class-AB integrated amplifier, much like Jadis's other Orchestra amps but without the gold faceplate. Bias is performed manually. There is a remote control. Jadis supplies "uprated" 6CA7 tubes, which add fullness to the bottom end. Thumbs up for this neat little system.

They are safe, but the guests at the wedding on level B are still wondering who those two wonderful uncles were.

Hi Jason,

Did you have any further feedback on the Vienna Speakers?

It's been some time since they released anything new.

Cheers,

Tarkan.

They're distributed in the US by Jay Rein of Bluebird Music. I'd suggest you contact them via their website.
