Jadis DA88S mkii integrated

I am a big fan of Jadis. Their amps are truly some of the best I have heard, and with the new KT150 models, i have yet to hear another tube amp that I would rather own. Plus their build quality is second to none, IMO.
I have not heard the DA88s, but I would suspect that it would be a keeper for anyone interested in a great integrated.

I have a great relationship with Bluebird and they are very pleasant to work with.  Vienna Acoustics, Jadis and SME have been with them for a very long time and they are not exactly mediocre brands.  They also have AVM, Canton and Weiss.  Those are newer brands to them but all great products.  

Jadis is a stellar line.  I would put it up against the best brands in the world and am certain they will hold their own at every price point they compete in.  

From all indications Jadis has upped its game, which was already strong, with these recent KT150 amps. I’m wondering how the newer KT120 amps like the DA88S compare to them. My sense, gleaned merely from reading around, is that the mids are still fantastic like Jadis of old, but it’s unclear to me whether the refinement and extension of the top end is in the same ballpark as the KT150 amps.

jadis in its heyday was well known to run power tubes very hard, seems like that is still the case

jadis is beautiful stuff, great sounding, if not for the faint of heart in ownership... they deserve a comeback into the conversation as tippy top tube amplification

That's good to know, and would help explain why hsw went through KT150s in six months.
