I have a modded JD-9 as well. ODAM V-Caps, Burr-Brown OPA’s. Not sure I want to get into the vinyl rabbit hole with the streaming quality improvements. 🤔 Thanks Sam for this interesting thread.
Moving Up from a Jolida JD9
Thinking about moving up from my modded Jolida JD9. It has Audyn caps, Sonic Imagery Discrete Op Amps, and sounds about as good as it ever will. I'd just like to have something that sounds smoother and more refined. I'd like to stay with tubes, preferably 12AX7's as I have a bunch of them already on hand. My budget is around $1500 and I have no problem with buying used gear. I have a VPI Scout with an ART9xa cart. I mostly listen to classic rock, blues, and smooth jazz. Any suggestions, opinions, advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

@ghdprentice Thanks for your input and agree streaming has been great. Especially all the new music discoveries👍. I have gotten my streaming setup sounding much better than my very modest vinyl setup. To get vinyl up to the streaming level would be quite an investment in order to maintain my lower body fitness program. |
