I will ask Jean-Christophe next week at Munich about swapping KT88s to EL34s.
My Jadis dealer is a big fan of EL34s so he could bring some to try out.
I’d say they sound more human. I use these and am very pleased.

Problem is EL34s might not be able to drive my Thiel CS 3.7s as good as KT88s, otherwise i would be willing to try.I’d say they sound more human. I use these and am very pleased.

We drove Brads friend's CS 3.7 with 30 SET watts much better than with various Big Bruiser SS and Octave big watt PP KT88

I will be in the Munich fair this Saturday. For sure I will pass through Jadis.
If you compare the SIA 025 with the Jadis what do you find favouring Jadis?
Hi Gunnar, great i will text you on saturday so we can have a drink in the MOC.
Well Gunnar…
I happen to (a) being the guy who bought the SIA 025 from the Thielist, and (b) having attended the unpacking of the Jadis and heard the first notes from the jadis, Thiels & friends 10 days ago.
I’m sure you will hear a lot more straight from the mouth of the horse in Munich but I can testify that even at very very early stage in the (200+ hours) burn in journey, our friend made a very wise choice to move from SS to Jadis with the Thiels. I would say: “matching colours in full transparent harmony”. It does take two to tango !! As much as I really do love the Vitus in my system, I would definitely go for the Jadis in the Thielist’s one.
Detail, speed and precision are still here in the mid range with greater linearity overall, far more substantial bass while still fast and sharp, and most importantly for me, less of what I call “stings” in the treble (my hear’s experience only, I fully understand why one would love and seek for that…, fyi, I have tinnitus so extremely sensitive to scalpel cuts in the high frequencies) .
The sound stage was already huge and very well staged on our friend’s very wisely designed system and the Jadis adds material, air, density… in three words: balance, body & realism !
I can’t wait to go back when burn in is more advanced.

Well guys i decided to go for the Psvane EL34PH, they sound much smoother than KT88s.
Should get much better within the next few days of burn in.
