preamp help

hey folks

i am not a technically savvy guy and thatr i why i pose this question to you. also in the past i'ved gotten GREAT advice from this forum.

anyway i am currently running a jolida 302b, a bellari vp129, and a music hall 2.1...i'm thinking of updating to a new jolida: http://jolida.net/phono.htm

i'm thinking the jd9 or the jd9 MKII. i guess my questions are these:

what is the difference between these two products and how do they differ from the bellari?

thanks folks!

So I have a grado gold cart. Is this why I'm not getting the volume with the bellari? When I run through the bellari I have to turn the volume up to 12 o'clock as opposed to 7 o'clock with my CD player.

Btw I appreciate all info. Positive or negative. I'm just trying to get my levels even.

Thanks for the great info. Are there better options for about the same price? Thanks again.

Well I emailed jolida dot net twice today and have heard nothing in return. Beginning to wonder if they actually exist.

Heard back from them. Is this place legit? They seem to be. So you think this preamp would be a substantial upgrade for me? At that price I can hardly resist.

Been using the jd 9 now for a while. It was great dealing with jolida dot net and I'm super happy with the jd9. Thanks folks!

I'd say it's more upfront and punchy. There is a lot more detail and crisp highs. The bellari seemed much muddier and fuzzy compared to the jolida. I liked the bellari but I love the jolida.
