I replaced the tubes with matched Ei (not EH, tried these didn't sound as good)12AX7s and this made a huge improvment. All else is still stock. I'm not yet convinced that additional sound damping/isolation makes a difference, especially if the unit is on a quality rack and is not close to the speakers. Also try just cleaning the exising jacks with Caigs Pro Gold.
Jolida JD-100 Mini Mod?
Anyone have this type a mod on their JD-100? Looking for your take on how it sounds. Does it change that nice Tube sound for better, or worse? Thanks!
(Mini mod info.)
-Upgrade the tubes to Svetlana 12AX7's
-Add Soundcoat chassis damping inside to kill vibration
-Add EAR Sorbothane absorbant feet to stop feedback
-Replace the cheap jacks with a set of VAMPIRE RCA Jacks
-Run pure silver output wire for increased detail
