modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima

I am in the process of researching a new cd player for my system and see to many choices. My system consists of marantx sr8000 as a pre, mca 50 amp, paradigm 80's front, 40's rear, and cc. I listen to music/Ht 50/50. I would like a good red book cd player for my system. I see some very good reviews for both the modified Jolida and MH. I am also interested in the audio aero prima. My budget is in the 1k to 2K range. The modified players seem very reasonable. My location does not permit me to audition these players. Your experience and expertise would be appreciated.

Muralman1,

How is the detail with the Jolida? Low level, etc.

I am very close ($$) to deciding/sending my Music Hall to Dan Wright for the Tube output mod (RAM mod). His mod is very interesting, 0 feedback tube output with no op-amps used. Not just a parts upgrade.

I am very happy with my CD25 currently, but I think the mod will really make the player sing. Do some digging to read about Dan's Truth Mod's, this will give you an idea.

Muralman1,

Thnx for the response. The mod that Dan does on the CD25 is the RAM mod that he and Bill offer on new players.

Muralman1,

Likewise, I would love to here the Jolida. You have me thinking. For a little more than the price of the mod, I could pick up a used JD100.

Distortion,

Any more comments on your new CDP? I am curious to hear, no pun intended, of your experience. Thnx!
