| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Well well well, and my handle is Muralman. Today I hosted a Triangle speaker/Levinson/Electrocomaniet/OTA owner. Long ago he use to have Quads. We played the Kinks, and the Greatful Dead he brought. He went away planning to get Quads again, and a ... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Do tell, Rkt008. Might you be an investigator by trade?Have you guys looked up "Joe's Tube Lore" yet? I've been letting it be my loosely followed guide. | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Understood. My Apogees are the infamous Scintillas. They are a bear to run, but when they do, there are very few grand speakers to compare. British reviewer Ken Kessler has used his own pair to judge all components by. He has said, "If speaker rev... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Sylvania's are forward sounding. About Apogee, heartbreak isn't the word for it. I know many apogee owners over the land, and they are all in love with their speakers. We also rest assured our repair needs are covered. I will never own another spe... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? One of the traits of 5751 Sylvania is a slight forward presentation. I like that. The RCA is the favorite of most 5751 fans. However, we have discussed how tubes are system reliant. How did you find the black plates without my help? I didn't think... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? The EH tube is not great for everyone. I'm no expert on pre amp tubes. I have heard that they react quite differently to tubes than do cdps. You will have to do another search for the pre amp. | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Not to worry, the D1 is a DAC and would require a new transport, and another pair of able interconnects. I'm not willing at this time, to put that kind of work and money into my system. I'm having too good a time now. | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Hey, if we keep up this dialogue, this thread might reach "What do you think?" status. | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Well, I am looking at the Pass Labs D1 ($6000 new). (sigh)Sovtek - your weak link? ooooh yeah. write me. | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Are those the real Holland made Bugle Boys? That is suppose to be a super tube. The mods I heard about insert Svetlanas. The Bugle Boy raise the ante. Please let us know how they do. Real Bugle Boys, like Sylvania black plate, are also getting imp... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? I've been through Telefunken (big head, soft bass, brittle highs), Mullard 4004 (good, has some microphonics undisguised in my system), Jan Phillips (nice all around, but thin), Svetlana (bold, with good body, big head, mistimbred), Chinese (surpr... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Given you cdp is healthy, it would have to be the tubes, or downstream components that are straining. The words, harsh, edgy, just aren't in the Joida's vocabulary. It may be the tubes; I can't remember. There are always those pesky downstream com... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? The GE grey plate is reportedly the least of the 5751 tubes. It can be brash, and a bit less liquid. Still, not a bad tube. The Svetlanas are decent tubes, but we have been talking about far better. I'm curious about the Sovtek 5751. I have never ... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? My black plates have been burning some 600 hours with no weakening noticeable. They do have a reputation for earlier burn out than most. I have one spare pair, and a private collection where I can score one more pair. I'll be trying some cheaper a... |
