How does the Jolida JD-100 compare to...


I've seen alot of comparisons to CDP's that sell used for less than $1000, but can anyone report how this CD player compares to higher end units? I've got an Arcam CD23, and would like to know if anyone has done any comparisons. Or how about some other very good units, such as the Theta Miles, Cary upper end players, and others.

All relevant observations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have telefunken smooth plates 12ax7's. took the jolida to a different league over the svetlanas. much more refined, organic, musical, much more layering, separation, dimension, instrumental timbres way more right, esp. strings and piano, not to mention vocals and everything else . I find the tele's quite subtle, highly detailed, "upright" in presentation. I would like some specific suggestions too along with their sonic traits...
Buxter66,

Do you know where I can purchase a set
of the telefunken smooth plate 12ax7's?

Thanks,
Bob
I personally much prefer the 5751 tube group than any of the ATX tubes. There is a variety of them available at reasonable cost. One negative, they have a lower output than the ATX tubes by some 25%. Teles will last longer than any. On most speakers, ATX tubes sound OK. If you have ultra transparent speakers like an electrostat, you will hear the differences.

What telescopes do you trade in?
Hi Muralman1

Telescopes, I am no longer buying, selling or
trading...for a little while anyway! :o)
But I have had just about every scope known to man.

Got any scopes you want to sell?? :o)

Anyway, thanks for the reply, I have heard of the 5751's
also, where can I get those??
