Look into rolling (swapping out) the tubes for better quality ones. This will improve sound quality. E.g. Sovtec 12AX7LPS at the low end, GE 5751 triple mica black plate mid level, and Telefunken ECC83/12AX7 at the higher end by price.
My first phono preamp
Being a newly back audiophile, I prepared for my first purchase. I read reviews, pages, company info, lots of threads here & got overwhelmed with info, confused & confused-er. Finally, I read that at the beginning level there really aren’t going to astonishingly different capabilities. And, that I should go for price or (blasphemy) what looks good with my system. So, I found a great priced Jolida JD-9 MK II made in the USA & ordered it. It also seemed like there were a lot of ways to incrementally upgrade it over time.
I got a lot of info here thru comments on threads & a couple of my own questions. I just wanted to thank the people who took the time to give me constructive comments & helped educate me. I’m excited to start rebuilding my system & continually learn here.
Thanks everyone
