To Former owners of Jolida JD 100

Now that you've moved on to other cd players, what in hindsight were the negative charachters of the JD100? I've seen a lot of positive reviews but mostly from current owners. How does the JD 100 compare and contrast with your present player? Was the JD100 involving? How's the PRAT?
Thanks so much in advance.

Aball summed it up nicely.

My favorite tubes were vintage Telefunken 12AX7 smoothplates however, new matched goldpin EH 12AX7s performed admirably, at one tenth the cost. (I tried around a dozen different tubes)

Since you ask specifically. PRAT may have been its only glaring short coming and maybe a bit of top end clarity. Not a lack of air, just the minutia contained herein.

LOL, you tell 'em Sam! I could easily tell Tube and Powercord changes with mine as well.

After reading my above post I realize I was not kind enough to the Jolida. I enjoyed it very much and can heartily recommend one.

Aball summoned up its weaknesses well (everything at this price point and well above will have them). I would add that this player has plenty of attributes as well. Not the least of which is a magical ability with female vocals.
