Jolida JD-9 Mod II


Hello all,

My JD-9 has the Level 1 mod, already done when I bought it. While I'm enjoying it overall, I am curious about the Level 2 mod.

What does it do to the sonics ? Does it become more of a solid state sound, more neutral, what ?
Info on the actual sound of the mods is hard to find, so thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks for any input !
Cheers,
Mike

Dsper... I dropped in some Obbligato Gold caps - relatively inexpensive caps (compared to say Mundorf Silver/Oil)... biggest improvement in the sound from the JD9 than any other mod, and one that I would highly recommend doing to get the best out of the JD9... easy solder job.
Yes, changing the opamps to the right combination and rolling tubes (I settled on Raytheon 5751 Windmill Getters) will result in sound improvements... I think the biggest improvement comes from changing the output capacitors... you can end up with a phono stage that delivers many times over what it will cost you.
