Well, I'm willing to take a guess - just from your description, I'm not a techie - the analog output section is muted while the disc is being read to prevent signals caused in the reading process to be transmitted to your preamp. That is what happens when you hit a mute switch on a pre-amp. The muting takes place after the amplifying stage so no signal goes to the amp. Works for me. :-)
Jolida JD100 noise issues
Through my experiments I found that the Jolida seems to give off a lot of noise. To explain further I usually do noise floor test by putting my amp full blast with nothing playing to here the noise floor. I found a rough sounding hiss. So what I did is turn off the Jolida and did the same thing and found the hiss was gone. Then I turned on the the Jolida (turning the volume always to 0 before any changes) and found the hiss wasn't there. So I thought maybe it was gone. UNTIL I put a cd in it and once it read the cd the hiss was back. I've tried this with numerous cd's and also different tubes, same hiss. I was wondering if anyone else found this to be and is there any way to remedy this... Thanks JohnnyP.
