Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim?

I am looking for a tube cd player to use with a mc2500 amp,sae x1p-preamp with seperate power supply,Polk sda-srs speakers.I now have an old pioneer cd changer pdm60 sae p101 tuner.I had all this equipment stored in my house for 14 years and now that the kids are gone I have a seperate room for my equipment.It all still sounds great to me but I have to be missing something with all the upgrades in cd players since back then.I am leaning toward a tube cd player in the 1200.00 range.I have read many good things about the Jolida.Any sugestions?

Yes indeed! listen to your pals here who say its a great player! I sold my Wadia 23 running as a transport and Electrocompaniet upsampeling DAC after hearing the JD100. I gained a sound much more real to my ears. If you get one you can keep it great by not modding it!

Got a Hemi!..Sweeeeeeeeeet

Actually the 440 6-Pac was a much better street motor.

Judy426- I still remember my first ride in a new dark green Dodge Coronet 440 w/ 6 pack option-around 1969 in Norfolk Va. I was about 12 years old then, and I can still hear that sound in my head :)

Thanks for the aside- it brought back a pleasant memory.

The Jolida is one of the best values ever. Musically satisfying, technically well-executed and the price is right.
