Differences in Jolida JD-100's?


Hey,

I just bought a Jolida JD-100 from Underwood Hi-Fi. I love the player, but I just got curious about all the distinction suffix characters on the model name, ie. JD-100, JD-100A, JD-100C, etc.

Does anyone know what all the model numbers are and what the differences are between them, and then further how one would go about telling what model they have?

Oh one strange thing about my player was that when I went to replace the stock Chinese 12AX7's with a pair of Sovtek 12AX7LPS's to my surprise a pair of Sovtek tubes were already installed! Go figure...

Cheers!

You should get a pair of the Electro Harmonix 12AX7s. My Jolida had Sovteks in it too, but the EH tubes brought it around in a big way. And dampening the chasis is a good idea too.

Ketchup,

The Sovteks are weak in the midrange, which is a trait of this tube in any application. The EH tubes retained the top and bottom extension while filling out the midrange nicely. I am a stickler for the human voice, if it ain't right, I don't want it.

I am using a Sonoran Desert Plateau PC plugged into a Blue Circle MR 1200.
