Jolida 100 or Music Hall CD25

While others disagree, my friend also owns both, and clearly prefers the Music Hall. I myself, would also give the nod to the Music Hall, despite its lower price.

I recently purchased a used MH CD-25 with the Level 1+ mod. Haven't had it long enough to make any final judgements on it, but first impressions are that it has a great mid-range and nice extension on both ends, Having said that, the bass response is not as quick or defined as I would have liked.

I'm curious whether my first impressions are consistent with what other MH owners hear. I'm trying some different interconnects, but not getting the response I need yet. Any suggestions from other owners? I'm currently using a Crown Macro Reference to drive Ty's 7U speakers.

I own the Jolida, running Sylvania Gold Label triple micas. I love it's sound much better than the MH. That said, you could upgrade your cord to a relatively inexpensive Chris VenHaus cryoed Flavor 1 power cord - I bet the improvement will be quite noticeable, esp. in the bass. My Jolida's bass tightened up noticably with this upgrade. VenHaus is very approachable and more than willing to talk. Happy listening!
