Jolida, to modify or not...

You are going to get replies you definitely should, and if I had heard one, I might be inclined to agree. My past experience has led me to be suspicious of expensive mods. IMO previous mods of older Jolida cd players were a waste of money. A friend of mine had it done, and it didn't improve anything. The sound was, in fact, somewhat dull. The CEO of Jolida told me tuning a component is half art. The final tweak consisted of reversing a single resistor. Imagine what sonic havoc might occur during wholesale parts swapping.

I have a stock JD 100 with marvelous tubes that defy improvement. Mods?....Why? I doubt I will spend $500 on music over the next year. Guess which investment I consider more worthwhile.

Muralman, what marvelous tubes are you using in your Jolida? I'm thinking of getting one and definitely want to invest in better tubes for it.

I just installed NOS Jan Phillips 12AX7WA's and darn
if it did not make it sound a heck of a lot better. IMO
this CPD is way to cheap shhhh!, considering some of the
other cdp's I have owned in the past. Better not
say here though which ones. :^)
I cannot tell you if the "totally" modded version is much
better than that, as I have not heard it, but I would
say I agree with Muralman1 above on where I would spend
the extra $$$.
Put a good set of tubes in it and feel like your ahead
of the game. GREAT CDP!
