warm sounding amp suggestions???????

Since you have the Jolida cdp, how about getting Jolida's hybrid SS integrated amp, and then adding their tube tuner later. That would be a nice warm sounding and good looking system. Also try different tubes in your cdp to add some warmth and romance.

what about BAT amplifiers?

"IMO, you dont need tubes to get a warmer sound these days..and forgetabout the expense and upkeep of tubes!!McIntosh,Pass Labs yadayadayada"

So, what's your point? Do you have a recommendation?

Dvdgreco, Look for a Forte 1a, stock Moscode 300 or a Moscode 401HR depending on your budget.

moscode 300 what price range do they sell for?

i noticed many people modify them, what should i look for in a modified unit?

An inexpensive local repair person? :-)
