Jungson JA88D anyone?

I just received a Jungson JA 88D this past Tuesday. I've owned several integrated amps, including Classe CAP-100, Jeff Rowland Concentra and Levinson, and have to say I am really impressed with the sound and build quality of this unit. Sonically it is probably the best blend of solid state and tubes that I have heard.

i got a used one for less than a 1000$us
it sounds good as compared to my simaudio/hca2 combo
especially in the midrange
not the best slam and not the best violin
but for the price it is a best buy
i am using a marantz cd player and the jmlab 926

there is a review in the british hi fi world: may 2006
the review is better than bfs
by the way it got 5 stars out of 5 stars
it says that it is a sugden a21a on steroids
i buy the issue by chance

The Jungson is an amazing amplifier at the price. It is big, heavy an really ugly...but ist sounds very musical. Most obvius is its clarity. The class A experience is something special. Yes you can buy better (I use the Jungson in a second set up, and compared to my McIntosh C42/MC352 the choice is obvious) but if you have 1.200 USD or so to spent it is a must audition.
Hope this helps

I just purchased Jungson JA88D from fellow Agoner for bedroom system. When I received it, unlike above posts I was amazed at how nice it looks with mirror chrome finish and lighted meters which exudes high quality look. So, out of curiosity I compared it with modded Bel Canto Reference 1000 digital amps and MBL 9007 amps. To my surprise, it held its own is sound quality department. IMO, it blew away Bel Canto Ref 1000 by large margin in mid and high frequency soundstage and lush, relaxed and effortless presentation. Very musical much like tube amps. Compared to MBL9007 it doesn't have the viceral dynamics and realism but hey at 1/20th the price what a smoking and sleeper of a deal. It it sounds this good and weights this much, by default I would think they are using very high quality components. If anyone has amplifier version, please PM me, I'll give you the best price for them.
