A powerhouse reference integrated
The I-88 is a powerful 90 watt, pure class-A, KT150 integrated
amplifier. It is an updated version of Jadis’ award-winning
DA88S, designed around a double push-pull design of KT150 tubes. It is
fully autobias with four line inputs, one digital USB input and comes
standard with a remote control. The I-88 was designed from the ground up
to take advantage of the new KT150 tubes which are said to offer
improved microphony and heat dissipation characteristics, and provide
more power and better detail and bass control than other tubes.
Featuring
Jadis’ custom in-house, hand-built transformers, the I-88 will
easily drive today’s demanding real-world loudspeakers to authentic
listening levels. The I-88 delivers the trade-mark Jadis sound; warm and
rich yet very detailed and fast with impeccable timing,
real-world dynamics and a large soundstage. Pure Heaven. Tube complement
is: 8 x KT150, 2 x 12AX7, and 3 x 12UA7. It offers bandwidth of 10Hz –
19kHz and weighs, surprisingly, 88 lbs.
A powerhouse reference integrated
"Spectacular" award-winning pure Class A integrated
As Jadis’ most powerful integrated amplifier, the
DA88S MkII rewards its listeners with a rich musical experience refined
from numerous component and chassis upgrades over its long production
history.
The DA88S MkII is a robust 60 watt, pure class-A, KT120 integrated
amplifier with five line inputs and included remote control. Thanks to
Jadis’ custom-made signature transformers, high-gain low-noise five tube
front-end and symmetrical push-pull operation, the DA88S MkII can
effortlessly drive all but the most difficult loudspeakers.
The DA88S MkII produces a warm and rich yet very detailed fast sound
with tremendous dynamics and a large soundstage. Like its smaller
brother the DA50S, the DA88 MkII features a tightly regulated solid
state power supply combined with low overall global feedback and class A
output for providing optimal image focus and the ultimate in powerful
music resolution. It’s no wonder The Absolute Sound named the DA88S MkII
as a Product of the Year winner. Tube complement is eight KT120 tubes,
two 12AX7 (ECC83) and three 12AU7 (ECC82). Dimensions are 20" x 16" x
8.7", weight 88lbs.
Remote control included. Available with gold or silver faceplate option at no extra cost.

I
listened to an integrated amplifier that wasn’t merely good – it was
‘spectacular’. The Jadis demonstrated a dynamic alacrity and vividness
and prowess – a puissance – that placed it in the very top echelon of
audio equipment regardless of price. There was no syrupy sound here –
just superb dimensionality, iron grip, and unrelenting drive. The jump
factor of the Jadis is off the charts. Put otherwise, it sounds as
stunning as it looks.

The
Jadis DA88 Mk II is not a good tube integrated amplifier. It is a
superb one. It deploys KT-120 output tubes – a total of eight – to
deliver a very robust 60 watts that can drive big loudspeakers like
Wilson’s XLF with aplomb. The DA88 is self-biasing for ease of use. Its
imposing hand-wound transformers clearly have a salubrious [heathly,
beneficial, pleasurable] effect upon the purity of the sound.The Jadis allies liquidity with great dynamic power. Its sonic character
is worlds removed from current solid-state designs. This is a unit
engineered by and for tube lovers. The resolution, palpability, and,
above all, sense of sweep conveyed by the Jadis are seldom less than
glorious.
