Gather around JoLida 100a owners

I was thinking about a dac as well but I have seen comments on Enjoythemusic and 6moons that the Jolida is a nice musical cd player but not that great as a transport.

Allegro12,

What made you deceide on the Plinius. Did you audition first or did you go on the recommendations of others. I ask this as I have yet to find a Canadian Dealer so my choice would be based on reviews and such. I have a good feeling that I'd love the sound of the B&W 805 Sig do you think this will be a well made match.

Hi Freaky....
I can't comment on B&W...I've never heard them.
But this is my 2nd Plinius..
my first was a 2100i,( which is actually an 8150)..100w/p/ch.....from the minute I bought it I was in love. Rich, full smooth sound...Had it for over a year...my Stages are watt-hungry so I actually bought a few other higher watt amps and I was never happy...they sounded dry...and unnatural....so I dumped them and got the 175 Watt/p/ch 8200mk2...
mmmm..there it was again...that wonderful Plinius sound....
I don't know what your budget is , but after you buy your speakers i wouldn't
hesitate to look for a Plinius 8150 (if integrated is ok for you...and 100 watt)...
quite frankly I heard NO tonal difference between that and my 8200...
I think they are a steal for a mint used on A'gon.

PS: I think the only thing that may ent(ICE) me away from my Plinius is that I know that sometime down the road I must audition the new H20 ICE technology based amp.

Allegro12,

Thanks for the response. Can you tell me a little about H20 ICE amps I did a google search and came up "cold".

Cheers
