I'm ready to upgrade my run of the mill CD player for a much better one. I own a Jolida 707a. My price point is $750 and under. I'm willing to buy new or used. Was thinking Jolida JD 100a or maybe Rega Apollo but open to ANY ideas.
I had the 100a and it is just average, bold and warm because of tubes, but lacking detail because of an average DAC. The Cambridge cdps are very detailed and would compliment tube amplification better.
I would also recommend the Jolida 100A. Not only will it match up with another Jolida, but with the option of Tube Rolling you can fine tune the sound to your taste. I own one & it sounded better than other players I have tried in that price range with more flexibilty as a bonus.
In 2005 I auditioned the Jolida 100, Rega Planet 2K, Cary CD308, and Cary 308T. The Cary (non T) won hands down and I bought a used one for $750. I think the newer Cambridge's may better w/ better DACs and technology.
