Thanks for the reply Jaybo. It does. It sounds great. Even with all the mods I feel that the Jolida might be relatively inferior, though I have nothing to compare it to to justify the change. I know that with all of the mods it's much better sounding to my ear than my Belles 150A which has gotten rave reviews. Even the bass slam is better than the 150A.
Jaybo have you any experience with the Audio Research VT-60 I have someone in my area selling one for $890.
