To Tube or not to Tube......
Thanks! I did, however, get the full compliments of upgrades that Walter at Underwood HiFi offered. Upgraded tubes, capacitors etc. I've very excited about the choice. I don't usually second guess myself, so I anticipate that I will be happy. I gu...

Sound? I'm looking for a nice rich, warm, full sounding amp with lots of detail. I wanna hear each instrument distinctly and know where it is on the stage! I'm not a BIG bass fan, but I certainly what to hear the bass.Hopefully, I'll get that with...

That's it then. I'll go with the Jolida. Mucho thanks for all the help and insight.

Be a Man! OK, someone step up to the plate, be a man and tell me what the HELL to do! :) Jolida: pros: New; Easy bias; EL-34 tubes (ppl have said my JM lab speakers tend to be a bit "bright" so the 34's may sound better than 6550's) cons: ?ARC: pr...

Warranty ...Warranty!! that's the only issue now for me to work on. I do like the idea of the security a warranty offers, but Jedi & Wolf do have a good points. I gotta do this SOON! Maybe I'll just flip a coin!!

I was waiting for your input Wolf. Although 2 amps sounds nice, for the foreseeable future that isn't doable for me. That being said, I'm sticking to just one amp. My guess would be that you are of the opinion that a new 1000P would do me better t...

> Atmasphere: I have checked that and either amp will drive my speakers without issue.

OK, so there is a chance that the switch might not be all that I hope for, but it's a little too late for me now. My T-100 is sold so I've got to do something. At this point, I'm committed to giving tubes a try and hoping for the best. The sole is...

I would say that the T-100 did have a nice sound, but if it was lacking anything it would be in the areas of separation and perhaps sound stage.

Unsound, when you only know one thing, it's hard to say what you don't like. It's not that there's some thing about it that I dont like, per se,it's just that its all I've know. I want to try something different, and tubes is the way I want to go.

Yeah, I just got to get this over with, be a man and make a decision. STOP ME before I start a VS 115 vs Jolida 1000P thread!!! 
To Tube or not to Tube......
Thanks again Wolf; I'm going to pull the trigger sometime today. The only snag is that I may go for a ARC VS115 I found for a good price. I'm sort of sedentary in my ways, i.e., when I get something I tend to stick with it forever! So I want to ge...

Czar, are you saying my JM Labs sound BEST with SS amplification? 
To Tube or not to Tube......
Thanks Jedi, I'll keep that in mind. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do the A/B comparisons, I sold my T-100 and will pack it up and ship it off this week. It's sort of a leap of faith thing at this point. 
To Tube or not to Tube......
Thanks, Jedi, that is one fear that I do have. Different, but not necessarily better. Don't know exactly how to deal with that problem, and that's what makes this decision so stressful. My T-100 is a fine amp, but I know it's not like one of the o...
