Best Integrated, period.

Blah Blah Bleet.

Every Jadis that I have ever heard sounded like a worn out ST-70 with new tubes. There... But not there.
The high end on a Jadis sounds like an old snake trying to whistle and the low end sounds like an in-estrous baboon bouncing up and down on an inner tube....... Soft bloated and damp..

Some sure about the veracity of that verbiage, but you get a gold star for creative writing and humor. Best few lines I have read in a while.

Viva Solista is the best I have owned and heard to date.

Tell us how you really feel don't hold back!
When was the last time a Jadis was mentioned?
Clever description but definitely not accurate. The use of KT-90s is a problem with certain editions of Jadis amps IMO. This can be easily addressed in most cases

I was wondering the same thing. Who mentioned Jadis to start that tirade?

If your interested in an amazing integrated check out the Exemplar Audio Exception. It is mind blowing good, especially if you have a topnotch front end. It simply sounds beautiful. It retails for less than many of the integrated amps mentioned in this thread but won't take a backseat.

I've been waiting and looking to see Decware but I don't think it's been mentioned. But I'd like some opinions as I'm about to pair a Decware with Zu Omen speakers.

Thoughts?
