Jolida CD-100...Who has moved on and...

On my short list is the Cambridge azure 840c. Not sure how this stacks up to the Jolida in terms of extension.

I have tried all kinds of tubes with it, Sylvania triple mica blacks, Svetlana winged C, RCA triples, GE triples, EI golds and standards, Sylvania JANs...they are all a compromise. Ironicly, I had a Resolution Audio CD-55 which I sold because it was just too much with my Infinity Renaissance 90's. I have a pair of Preludes now, and while they are a better speaker altogether, I feel that the top end is missing some sparkle/detail. The Jolida was a great match with the Rens though..

i had a jolida. i found it thin sounding and emphasizing the upper frequencies. one of the few players i owned that i really did not like. i only owned it for a short time.

I had the Jolida Wally mod and the S 5751 TM GP and it was alright. My responce was to be taken with some humor on the garbage thing. It did sound better than a transistor raidio I had back in the '60's. =8^)

80,

I think you are wrong on the SS thing. I have for a phono amp a ASR Exclusive. No tubes and wonderful sounding. It is a unit I will live with for a very long time. I like SS.

I find it hard to believe that going to a show like RMAF the most rooms have only a digital setup.

Anyway to get this back on topic?

What did you guys replace it with, how would you compare the sonics to the replacement?

I can't say that I replaced the Jolida with the Cambridge 740c as it's been a while since I've owned the Jolida. I will say that the Cambridge 740c sounds completely different. The 740 needs about 160 hours of break in time to come together, the sound is very transparent with excellent detail, the 740c does not sound like a Thanksgiving Turkey thats been injected with flavorings like a lot of players in this price range. The Jolida was okay but I heard a fuzz around images like a GA peach and sold it. The Cambridge is an amazing player in this price range, try one to see if it fits your tastes and your system.
