It sounds like you've narrowed your list but you might consider the Linn Genki used. I own it and am interesetd in the Jolida and may try it but the Genki has a very nice sound that sneaks up on you. It doesn't dazzle you at first listen if your doing the A/B comparison but over time it is very satisfying.
Jolida vs. Arcam
I have been looking for a reasonably priced CDP under $1000. I posted this question, but did not get much response. I've considered just about everything I've heard about from Rega, Rotel (1070 and 971AE), Arcam, Music Hall, CAL, Jolida, Cambridge Audio, etc. All praised procucts in this price range.
I seem to have narrowed my choices down to the Arcam CD 72T and the Jolida JD100. I have a tube pre and solid state amp. I like a just slightly warm presentation and a unit good for everything from alternative rock to acoustic, jazz and some classical. Smooth detail with a strong low end. I'm just a little worried about the jolida comboed with the tube pre being a touch muddy. I don't have the opportunity to really listen to these, so I'm relying on others thoughts.
Has anyone compared these two? I've only heard good things about both of them. Any thoughts appreciated.
