Jolida JD100S

@slovell -If you like the JD100 sound, yes. I still have mine (purchased in 2003), and periodically listen to it in a mid-fi system (Onkyo integrated and Audio Physic Yara speakers).

BUT-for similar price you can get a better CD player, or DAC and use the JoLida (as I have) as a terrific transport.

What's the rest of your system?

I bought mine in 2005 if memory serves. I really enjoy the sound from the JD100 which is why the JD100S piqued my interest. The JD100S uses a pair of 12AX7 and another pair of 12AU7 tubes. I think it was distributed by the Jolida Chinese Shenda factory and not by Jolida Maryland.
My system is a Jolida JD9 phono pre and a Jolida Fusion preamp both being heavily modded. The JD100 is stock except for some internal dampening and nos tubes. Klipsch modded KLF-20 speakers, Fosgate Signature headphone amp, Denen AH-D9200 headphones. VPI turntable.
I considered going with a new/newish transport and DAC but there are so many DACs out there I don’t know where to start. I haven’t really kept up with all the new tech for the last several years.

If I did not buy the Raysonic tube cdp , I will buy the Jolida JD100S. I’ve heard the JD100 it’s superb.Its available at Saturday audio Exchange here in Chicago.

I bought a used BAT VK-D5SE at a very decent price. It's been well taken care of and came with a spare new Philips cd drive. Seller gave me a deal I couldn't pass up. If I don't like it I can always resell it.
The JD100S at Saturday Audio Exchange has no remote and remotes for the JD100 series are unobtanium. I made a fair offer for it but they wouldn't budge. I'm not paying their price for that unit with no remote.

Slovell the most they will discount is $100 , I wonder if Jolida or black ice can sell a remote for this unit.You did the right thing.

Talked to Mike at Jolida, Maryland and Walt at Underwood HiFi with no luck. Mike said they can't even really do a complete service the JD100 as they have no parts  left and forget about a remote.. Walt advised me to call Mike so there you go. lol  I think you can still find a new drive for it on EBay so I probably should pick one up for a spare.
I'm probably going to keep my JD100 and just use it sparingly, it's a really nice sounding player.
Can't wait to hear the BAT. I wanted to get one with the SuperPak upgrade but it was a lot more money and way out of my budget. Getting a new spare drive with it is definitely a plus.
