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.

I'd be glad to hear what you have to say too. They are sold about an hours drive south of where I live.

Interesting reading guy's,
From everyones description of the 88 I'm thinking it could mate well with my new Klipsch RF7's for 2 channel listening.
Yes I have begun to realize my choices seem endless. Fortunately it will be a few months before I seriously consider making another purchase. I live about 1-1/2 hours north of where they sell those Jungson's in Indianapolis.

In the meantime my Denon stereo receiver is the Pre for a Sonographe (conrad johnson) 120 watt stereo amp. It sounds better than the receiver by itself of course.

Mmmmm...S.S. and tube or all S.S. or all tube. So many choices I'm glad there is no hurry.......lol.lol.
The tube Pre is something I have certainly thought about even if it's with a class A S.S. amp. Some tube integrateds out there are looking pretty good too.

Really I was wondering if class A is a big difference in sound versue A/B. I've never heard it before and the Jungson being class A is what caught my attention.

Right now There is a guy offering me an old Musical Fidelity (Dr.Thomas Edition) for 400 bucks in excellent condition. It has 120 watts and the first 30 watts or so is class A. The price is right and I could still use a tube Pre with it eventually. What I'm concerned is, will I be able to hear a difference that 30 watts of class A makes versus A/B.

On the other hand I can keep filling the piggy bank and drop fifteen hundred or so on something in the future.

Sheeesh, decisions, decisions....lol.
Yes, that's the place I was talking about. Columbus?, that's great...I thought it was in Bloomington.....I'm just north of Greenwood.
Now it is even harder to not to pay them a visit.
Actually I'm off old Meridian street just south of I-465.

The wife just looked up their location and I'll see about driving down there one of these days. I would like to see what they have on display. Looks like their open 9:00 to 5:00 Mon. thru Fri................Pat
