Jolida JD 100 PC suggestions
Audiofeil: Well, since you mention it . . . In addition to the Jolida, I use an Odessey Stratos Dual Mono Extreme, Marsh 2000b pre, and am in the process of putting together North Creek Eskas (listening room = living room; Eskas designed for near ... 
Jolida JD 100 PC suggestions
Thanks, folks. All good suggestions; I'll probably try first whatever comes up reasonably, used.Gooddomino: "I like my Signal Audio Magic Digital PC." means the digital cable from Frank's "Signal Cable"? I have his SC and ICs already, like the SCs...

Any 74 partisans out there? 45 minutes of Playin', Seattle 74? Louisville 74?I think all of the band's phases have their charms. Toronto 77, Donna and all. And it's a hard--hearted person who can despise Donna on "You Ain't Woman Enough" from Madi... 
Feedback wanted from Jolida JD100A owners
If you go for the Jolida, the tubes make readily audible differences, as others have said. My "level 1" modded unit improved a lot with cyro'd tubes from ATSI (a very helpful provider). See other threads for discussion.--jmd

Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim?
My JD 100 transport is not "dead quiet." Audible "chatter" -- more with some discs than others. Jolida says expect some of this, esp.if disc is warped. Anyone else have this experience?Re tubes, I recently followed a suggestion of Kehut on nanothe... 
Review: Marsh Sound Design P-2000t Tube preamp
i have the 2000b. i've no reliability issues so far (2nd owner from 6/2005), and I'm not displeased with the sound, but you are right on about build quality: if that is important to you,it might make sense to consider other units. --jmd

Anyone have experience with "Signal Cable" Cables?
I'd second the above remark (Boa2's) to the effect that Signal Cable is a good direction to go for "cable skeptics," who aren't likely to invest in high end cables. I was such a person,and SC double run speaker wire made for an *obvious* improveme... 
Jolida CDP question
One part of Sfrounds' description stuck out for me: "sounds like a stereo system." I have the Jolida w/ Level 1 mods, and although other pieces may be to blame, I've been complaining that my system "shreiks mechanical reproduction of music." (Made... 
Looking for colored sound. . . I think.
David 99; Thanks for the suggestion (and description of the problem ;-). I'm using signalcable ICs and SCs now; think I'd notice much difference with a change in cabling close to that price point?jmd 
Looking for colored sound. . . I think.
I'm having the same experience with the highs on the rocket 750 sigs, with rather different ss electronics: detailed and precise, but somehow brittle, in a way I find fatiguing. The 750s seem very sensetive to placement, and like to be far into my...
