tube cd for bright system

This comparison may have been asked before but I can't find it.

I am looking for a well built tube cd player(new)and am willing to sacrifice sound for reliability and have narrowed it down to the two below as I can get both as 220v.

1. Jolida CD-100
2. Opera Consonance CD-120 Linear (non oversampling)

From all the reviews/comments I have read here and elsewhere, it seems that both are very good but the Jolida seems to lack PRAT. Any comments.....

Thanks.

The Jolida has tons of mods and support for those mods. Also, you can tube roll to tailor the sound to your personal taste. And, I am a BIG fan of Burr-Brown DAC processors! To me the sound is more realistic and less like just a "great reproduction. Here, check out the specs:

Model JD 100A: Compact Disc Player

Construction Details and Features:

Gain stage utilizing two 12AX7A vacuum tubes. Unit does not utilize op-amps.
Two transformers.
24/96 Burr Brown DAC.
Phillips CDM 12 Transport System.
Programmable for up to twenty-four tracks.
Full - function random access metal remote control with search function.
Track repeat and index of track search function.
Variable Headphone output.

Hope this helps

Have you though that maybe the problem could be at your wires?

I had the same problem with you and I first solve it with consonance droplet cd (replaced Opus 21) and then with a siltech interconnect (replacing valhalla).
