What would be a good match for the JD100? The cdp is a little warm with slightly rolled off treble. I am thinking of the Jolida JD502B amp but afraid the combination would be too warm.
My setup: Jolida JD100, Jolida 302B, Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures. For the money I couldn't ask for a better combination; very balanced and sounds superb.
I had the JD100 with the 502B, and it was wonderful. However, you will first want to experiment with tubes, IC's and power cord changes on the CDP. They will make a world of difference on that component...guaranteed.
I am using Sylvania tube and I found it much better than those that came with the cdp - both warmer but more extended in the treble. My speakers are diy using Seas Exel drivers which are pretty good.
For amplifier, I am using Arcam A90 which is pretty good but I feel like I could get a little more midrange bloom with some kind of tube amp. I am just afraid a tube cdp and tube amp would be too warm and congested.
