I have an Underwood HiFi modded Level One JD100A and it has always sounded like music to me. I cannot say it is overly warm. Tubed CD players do not necessarily equal warm sound. The player is definitely not cold, sterile or analytical which are at the opposite end of the spectrum. You can email me if you like. I may sell mine.
The Jolida JD100A CD player by today's standards?
Folks,
I am looking to replace my 18 yr-old CD player. After reading many reviews, the Jolida JD100A is at the top of my list. It's still available new, but it seems to be about 10 yrs old and most reviews are years old (including the ones on Audiogon).
How does it measure up today to new and used players at around 1K?
I value musicality, being able to follow individual lines in quartets, warmth, and being emotionally and intellectually engaged.
I have an LFD integrated LE mk IV and Spendor S100 speakers.
Thanks!
Barry
