I would definitely leave the JD 100 on. Digital gear seems to sound best if left turned on at all times. When I asked on this board about leaving my tubed players on, I was advised to do so. It will take 24 -48 hours for cd players to level off at their best sonics once turned off. If your tube buffer has a fairly rare and expensive replacement tube I would turn it off and deal with the warm up. If you plan to keep the buffer you may want to purchase a replacement tube for it, if they are hard to come by.
Powering On/Off Tube CD Player Jolida JD-100
Would appreciate anyones help on this. I don't know if this is my imagination or just the mood I'm in that day but sometimes,
the sound from my Jolida JD-100 Tube CD player connected to my Musical Fidelity Tube X-10V3 Tube Buffer sounds different on the same CD & same levels.
What I need to know is: 1. Should I leave my Jolida tube CD player powered on all the time or is it OK to turn it complete off when I'm not using? The price of replacing tubes for usage is minimal. 2. Likewise but for a different circumstance, I leave my MF X-10V3 Tube Buffer disconnected/powered off when not using because the tube inside is 1 of only 50,000 in existence with a lifetime of around 11,000 hours. Will leaving it on, even though it will use up the tube rapidly & be costly to replace, produce better sound. as for my tubes themselves, they have alot of hours left on them, so that is not affecting variances in sound.
