Overview
Orchestra, the latest arrival in the Jadis family, is an integrated amplifier with all the qualities that one expects from a Jadis product - its particularly recognisable transformers, the conventional wiring, the qualities of timber, transparency and dynamics : Jadis musicality in all its majesty.
Orchestra comes in a stainleass steel chassis with its tubes standing in ceramic gold-pin sockets. It has four EL 34 tubes mounted in push-pull, and driven by two ECC 83. A new touch to the Jadis tradition is the addition of wooden panel to the two sides of the chassis.
Orchestra is the result of a highly-focused study undertaken by Jadis to meet the challenge of manufacturing a product with all essential high-end qualities and to bring it within the the reach of a wider general public.

About the brand
Jadis was created by André Calmettes, sharing his passion : the design and realisation of tube amplifiers intended to give the most accurate musical reproduction, ignoring all costs and difficulty. This passion - at times overriding the demands of sleep and leisure - resulted in the creation of prototypes that produced a sensation in audiophile circles.
Jadis amplifiers and preamplifiers represent the ideal amplification system for all acoustic loudspeakers, whatever the load, the functioning (whether electrodynamics, electrostatic, or isodynamic) and the efficiency. They have marvellous dynamics from the bass to the highest treble, and a total lack of coloration, including the kind that tube electronics are usually accused of.
