I would happily live forever with the CH Precision L1, especially paired with the X1. Considering the prices and CH Precision’s perfectionist approach, this is not surprising. What is surprising is how much extra performance apparently remains unrealized, even in a very well-designed product, as demonstrated by the improvement when the X1 was employed. I find myself wondering how much room for improvement is still out there, waiting to be realized. How much better could a four-box L1/X1 system, or the L10 preamp, be?

For someone looking for a quality streamer and a serious pair of mono amps as a nice little just-add-speakers system, a PecanPi+ Streamer Premium and a pair of Starkrimson Mono amplifiers, at just under $4000, represent a solid value.
The PecanPi+ Streamer Premium’s no-frills approach is admittedly a bit weird in the current hi-fi landscape, one where there’s a push to offer as many features in a single product as possible. But that allows it to pack the latest AKM Velvetsound chip under the hood and keep under $1500. That it also incorporates a great touch screen and top-notch audio circuitry is very unusual at this price level; few bare-bones network streamers at a comparable price offer that.

Jadis DA88S MkII Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier $18,900 Review
November 18, 2024 Comments Off on Jadis DA88S MkII Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier $18,900 Review
Here’s an interesting bit of information about Jadis electronics. They stay in circulation for very long periods of time. Favorite Jadis amps, like the long out-of-production Defy 7, are always in demand. Another bit of interesting info. There have been many reviews of the DA88S MkII integrated over the years. But it seems that reviewers are always keen to get their hands on one to listen to for themselves. Rarely have I heard of a component that is consistently praised by so many reviewers of very different tastes. And now I know why.
