| How does the Jolida JD-100 compare to... I personally much prefer the 5751 tube group than any of the ATX tubes. There is a variety of them available at reasonable cost. One negative, they have a lower output than the ATX tubes by some 25%. Teles will last longer than any. On most speake... | |
| How does the Jolida JD-100 compare to... Great review, Buxter66. I own the Jolida too, and I agree with your summation. Off the shelf Jolidas sound wonderful. They sound deciedly better, when fitted with YOUR tubes. That is something everyone has too explore for themselves.This isn't the... | |
| CD Players that deliver outstanding vocals Jolida 100, without a doubt. You can find one for near that price used, $900 new. | |
| Jolida JD100 and JD100A,whats the difference? Without a doubt, 5751 tubes old stock. They are hard to find, but are relatively inexpensive. I've had much more expensive Telefunken and Mullards on board and the 5751 tubes bested them with greater extension, and detail. The midrange of these tu... | |
| Review: Jolida JD-100 CD Player As a Jolida 100 owner, I wholly concur with your applause for both machine and vendor; glad to see Bill hasn't lost his touch. | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? Yes Unsound, the room. I wouldn't have gone the way I did if I hadn't realized I have a great room. I forget that isn't a given understanding. | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? Nrchy, I have heard $16,000 cd players fronting some unassuming speakers, and a $900 cd player pumping spectacular speakers. Need I tell you which was infinitely better?Most speakers are too dull to transmit the "bit more" of a first rate front en... | |
| Jolida JD100 and JD100A,whats the difference? Funny, I have a JD 100, and it has an articulate bass that goes very deep. There is no blacker than black. The stock 100 is as smooth as can get without getting boring. Yada yada. There have always been tweak monks when it comes to Jolida. The voi... | |
| Northern California Woo hoooo! Awesome, Mike! We don't have anything like that up here in Sacramento that I know of...Yet. We have Triangles, Green Mountain, Martin Logan, and more Apogees. I live in the midst of some mighty big houses. Ever think of relocating? | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? I say speakers. I ran a trainload of electronics through my Boston Acoustics without noticing any real change. The last front end I got for the Bostons was a Sony ES that sounded a lot like the other players that preceded. I got it because over a ... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Hi Buxter, of course there are different tubes for different folks. I am partial to old stock 5751 tubes made by Tungsol, RCA, Sylvania, GE, Raytheon, and Siemens. All of these do well in suppressing microphonics, and have good frequency extension... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Socrates, It all depends on the tubes chosen, and how pliable your speakers are. For example, there are a lot of people that just love Mullards, but in my system I couldn't get past the noise caused by microphonics. So I chose tubes that don't suf... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Musicdoc, I love the JD-100 as well. I'm afraid I am wearing it out by playing it so much. There are two for sale at audiogon for $700+. Given my unit's track record, I would say a used mint Jolida is a safe buy. | |
| If i had the money..... Hear hear! | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? It may be true, $500 is too low, but don't think the Jolida and the Planet are in the same league. Still, the Planet and just about anything will be better than a CD can read DVD player. |
