| CDP question? I've got to recommend the Jolida JD 100a. A very nice player which takes quite a few hours to break in, and some good tubes and isolation to sound it's best. But when it all comes together, it's hard to believe the sonics of this player for the pr... | |
| Jolida JD 100 or Njoe Tjoeb 4000, which one? Yes, that is correct. I did only the lid. That seemed to give it much more structural integrity, a dull thump when you whack on the player at any angle.Oz | |
| Jolida JD 100 or Njoe Tjoeb 4000, which one? For abb@cs.comGo to any decent specialty car audio shop to find Dynamat, or something like it. It is typically used to line trunks and door panels.BTW, I HATE the way the Agon forum doesn't allow you to directly answer a particular post. Just line... | |
| Differences in Jolida JD-100's? Ketchup,The Sovteks are weak in the midrange, which is a trait of this tube in any application. The EH tubes retained the top and bottom extension while filling out the midrange nicely. I am a stickler for the human voice, if it ain't right, I don... | |
| Differences in Jolida JD-100's? You should get a pair of the Electro Harmonix 12AX7s. My Jolida had Sovteks in it too, but the EH tubes brought it around in a big way. And dampening the chasis is a good idea too.Oz | |
| What's the most anolog sounding CDP I listen to about 85-90% vinyl. But I have had a Jolida JD100A for a couple of weeks now and have been furiously revisiting my forgotten discs. No, it ain't vinyl, but it does have a very analog-like presentation. Ignore the budget price and give ... | |
| Jolida JD 100 or Njoe Tjoeb 4000, which one? I might as well chime in on this one, seeing as how you are seriously being ignored by the rest of the Goners.I have never heard the Njoe Tjoeb, but I did recently buy a stock Jolida JD 100. I damped the inside with Dynamat, put in some Electro Ha... | |
| Jolida JD100...giant killer or all hype? I purchased mine from Larry Gibson at Down to Earth Audio in Salem, Va. He is a great guy to deal with. I won't say what I paid, but it is a good deal. I had to pay sales tax, but you would probably avoid that, making it an even better deal.Mine i... | |
| Jolida JD100...giant killer or all hype? After a week of 24/7 burn in the Jolida is sounding very nice indeed. I listened exclusively to seedees yesterday for several hours. That is no small feat for me. It's usually an appetizer of a disc or two before moving on to vinyl. For digital, t... | |
| Jolida JD100...giant killer or all hype? Right out of the box with about 50 hours on it (dealer demo unit) it sounded pretty good. Lots of air and extension and excellent bass. The midrange was a little thin however, so I yanked out the Sovteks and put in some RCA Cleartops. Better, but ... | |
| totem rainmaker has anyone heard them? Heard them on Saturday at a dealer. I was very impressed. My girlfriend is looking to upgrade from her Vandersteen 1Bs and it looks like these might be just the ticket. Excellent dynamics and bass from a small package. And they image just like you... | |
| How do the Von Schweikert VR-2's handle loud rock? The VR2s are incredible on any type of music, including dynamic rock and heavy metal. In the past two weeks I have cranked up ZZ Top, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Government Mule, and Neil Young as loudly as I have ever cared to listen. But don't g... | |
| what amp with the vr-4's Well, the Gen III is a vast improvement over my Silvers. If I had them, I probably wouldn't prefer the VR2s either. But compared to the earlier VS speakers, the 2 is a hands down winner.Oz | |
| what amp with the vr-4's Von Schweikert speakers seem to love tubes. I had a pair of VR4 Silvers using a Music Reference RM9. Great match. Now I have a pair of VR2s, which is a better speaker in every regard, using the same amp. Another great match.VR4s are a relatively e... | |
