Anybody heard the Jadis DA 88 Signature?

It was Hifi+ issue 39 (May 2005). I auditioned them at "Amplhifi" in Montpellier France. Awesome store with all kinds of gear all over the place and a very friendly and knowledgable owner.

I just changed my Gryphon pre/amp combo for a JadisDA50 Signature - which I had some years back (actually this is the same unit) and spunding really great with my Sonus Faber Guarneri (I had it with Avantgarde UNOs in the past also with great results)

I should expcet that the 88 sound would be a tad fuller and with more authority in the bass, but maybe sacrifying some transparency due to a larger numer of output tubes (I have always liked just to per side).

I also heard the JA50 mono amps and sounded even better than de DA50S, fuller bass, better resolution and very musical.

Cheers

Hi,
i see a lot of people talk abou da60,da50,da88 but nobody talk about the build construction, inside not outside, so the soldering is horrible, they cut the resistors near the body , so the result distortion and noise, the parts are cut and put without care , none of those Jadis amplifiers are very well build and the sound , dark without real audio presence.

I am surprised about your findings with the amps that you posted about. My experience with Jadis is exactly opposite to yours, my JA30Mk2 is built like a very fine Swiss watch with tremendous care and quality. The transformers are easily some of the best that I have ever heard...and I have heard many different models. I would be surprised if the new models are built in any way like you say...have you actually any experience with these amps, or are you just trolling?

Pico,
I've heard Jadis in the past few years and it sounds nothing like what you describe.  It was very open, involving and natural/realistic. Could be we heard quite different systems  or we just hear differently  ( both?). If their construction quality was as you state I doubt they would have survived all these many years.
