Can’t comment on wear and tear. I updated my JD-9 with new V-Caps ODAM, Tele tubes, Burr Brown OPAMPS, damping foam pads and transformer shield. Made a considerable improvement after cap break in. Sad part is that I stream 95% of my listening.
Jolida JD-9 Upgrade
I've had my Jolida JD-9 phono stage for over 20 years, and it's been even longer since it had its Level 3 upgrade done by PCX. Is there a time when it needs the opamps, caps, etc., replaced short of failure? Nothing lasts forever, and I haven't noticed any change in performance. If it needs it again I'm going the DIY route.
Thanks,

@armstrod Burson V5i sounds interesting. Does the JD-9 take single or dual version? Thanks |
@armstrod just replaced my JD-9 Burr-Brown 637 OPA’s with a set of 6 Burson Single V5i’s. Definite all around improvement. Well worth the $115 at Parts Connexion. Appreciate the suggestion in the thread. |
