Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition.


Based on some of your commends and a sparse BFS review, I'm taking the plunge. I really hope it will sound good in my system. The guy I bought it from says it's ultra smooth, lush, and just seductive. He also carries the DK VS1 integrated and prefers the Jungson sound over the DK. The Jungson LE is supposed to have better build quality and sells for $1300 less! Any comments on the Jungson is welcome.

Koczka123 I think your problem is not going to be solved by cables.
If you read every single review of the Jungson 88d people say the same thing - It sounds like a tube amp, and has great mids -

If someone describes an amp as sounding like a tube amp, I immediately think of it as being slow and lacking in dynamics. It just depends on personel preference and it sounds like you prefer a solid state type amp.

Incidently all the comments I have seen about Korsun say it is fast and dynamic - the opposite of Jungson no doubt

Of course not all tube amps are slow in bass, but a lot are.
So when reviews of the Jungson just talk about the good midrange and tube sound and never mention bass or PRAT, I put two and two together and presume thats where its strenghts lie.

Some people have said that the Korsun is fast and dynamic but too sterile sounding - those people should try the Jungson!!
