| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Hi Buxter, of course there are different tubes for different folks. I am partial to old stock 5751 tubes made by Tungsol, RCA, Sylvania, GE, Raytheon, and Siemens. All of these do well in suppressing microphonics, and have good frequency extension... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Socrates, It all depends on the tubes chosen, and how pliable your speakers are. For example, there are a lot of people that just love Mullards, but in my system I couldn't get past the noise caused by microphonics. So I chose tubes that don't suf... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Musicdoc, I love the JD-100 as well. I'm afraid I am wearing it out by playing it so much. There are two for sale at audiogon for $700+. Given my unit's track record, I would say a used mint Jolida is a safe buy. | |
| If i had the money..... Hear hear! | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? It may be true, $500 is too low, but don't think the Jolida and the Planet are in the same league. Still, the Planet and just about anything will be better than a CD can read DVD player. | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Going with the Jolida is a very, very good step forward on your audio journey. You will simply be amazed a the improvement in all categories over your Onkyo. Good Move! | |
| The best CD Player for the money You guys! The question asks, "... For the money?" I'm sure the Ayre or the Shigaraki, or the Wadia etc. are great cd players, but for the money? IMO the law of diminishing returns starts early in digital playback. | |
| 88 db sensitivity/6 ohm load..tube power question Look for a Jolida 1000. They are integrated and can handle the load just fine. I used one for my Apogee Stage speakers which were a tougher load than that. | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound Viridian, there were four of us at that particular cd player audition. No one picked the Planet first, although the Pioneer edged it out only a bit. I use to really like the Planet. Compared to what the Sony clones had to offer back in those days,... | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound Sugarbrie, I know I am sounding argumentatively, but I've heard the Planet on my system, the same day as Pioneer Elite, Music fidelity, and a Jolida 100. I think a record player would have to have a really gunky needle to sound anything like a Reg... | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound Inna, I like your sarcasm. Sugarbrie, I haven't heard the Cambridge or Rotel, but if neither sound no better than the Planet, low budget is suffering. I wouldn't go any lower in price than a used Jolida, and with that you will be narrowing the mor... | |
| Box speakers that sound like Electrostats? Jaytoy, Apogees have for the most part gone underground, both literally, and figurative. There are still thousands of mint Apogees out there, but they are almost all locked up in people's dedicated listening rooms. There is also a thriving Apogee ... | |
| Box speakers that sound like Electrostats? Perigees - if you are an Aussie, or Brit. The Perigee presently has a limited distribution. Apogee - Perigee... There is a connection. The Perigee developer started business as a ribbon replacement manufacturer for his and other's, around the worl... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Update: fisher - well, it was a start.Boston Acoustics - really, not bad.Apogee Stage - now we're talking - My first step to the perfect soundApogee Duetta Signature - you will think you have the greatest speaker in the world. The Apogee, like oth... | |
| What's the best approach? The source is a good as any place to start if you just remember you don't have to break the bank to get a great sound. This is my succesful cheap guy formula: If your room is of good size, 1)buy a used Apogee, 2)buy a cheap Jolida 100 CDP, 3)buy a... |
