I had the unmodded Jolida and now own two 834Ps. To my ears the EAR phono pres are heads and shoulders above the Jolida in dynamic impact, detail retreival and bass extension, not to mention the great mids and highs afforded by the well-executed circuit. They work great with Shelter 501 mk2 and Lyra Argo i and Helikon carts.
EAR 834p no mod vs Jolida jd9 level 2 mod
Hello all: These are about the same price ( if I buy the ear used ), opinions as to how they compare please. The mods on the Jolida would be Underwood HiFi level 2. Also, forgive my ignorance but what are op-amps and why are they bad?
Thanks for the thoughts, Mark
