Intro to tubes: Jolida or Bottlehead or Others?

Hi Loki:

It's basically a matter of the amp's sensitivity and input impedance. Both are very sensitive and are a good match re impedance for a CDP. You could use a passive pre if you wanted. You could do that now or some time later.

Did you read any of the threads at the Diycable forum? If not, why don't you go there and read the threads about the Ella and Joplin. If you have a Q start a thread there or you can e-mail me if you want. Brian and Kevin know their product (and audio) better than I do though.

Cheers,

i just check the forum over there. it is very informative. thanks for the heads up clueless.

I would also suggest ASL (antique sound labs). Very good "bang for the buck". Readily available here on Agon either new or used. Information is available at www.divertech.com.
