Cayin CDT 15A Tube CD Player. Advice Needed

I've owned the Jolida JD-100 and enjoyed it immensly. Grainless yet full of vigor and life. Not as smooth or refined as some of it's competitors, such as the Consonance 2.0 and 2.2 but, in some ways more realistic sounding - at least to my ears. The Jolida will put a singer in your lap or behind the speaker plane as the recording media calls for. Some of the other players seem to never project a vocalist forward of the speaker plane. They sound good but, exhude a characteristic of being too "reserved" sounding for my ears. The Jolida probably enlarges the general image a bit and this seems to add back a bit of life that the mastering engineer took away during the recording process. Some will prefer the more laser etched and accurate soundstaging of the Consonance type players and, some will end up preferring the more robust and immediate sound of the Jolida player (me, for instance).

So in a nutshell, good move.

Thanks for the info guys. But what I eventually ended up doing (2 weeks ago) was purchasing a black Jolida JD-100 CDP.

I posted a short review of the Cayin 15 vs the 17, as I have both.
agree with Audiosu. The 17 gives more complexity to the music, though as I said in my review, the 15 is a very good unit.

My next move is to get 4 upgrade tubes , Siemens. Might even make more of an improvement over the 4 russian tubes.
For a $100, its worth the chance.

I suggest you buy the Cayin CDT 17A, it is much better.

Any disadvantages with using a power converter?

I guess no one can help :(
