After trying various NOS Philips-Psvane-Tung Sol-"preferred" etc. 12AX7s in my Jolida power amp (factory modded 502P), I finally bought a matched and balanced pair of Russian (as opposed to the "licensed" Chinese version) Gold Lions from thetubestore.com. GREAT sounding tubes in every way…every…except with Mumblecore…all other styles of music work fine (Late early music, early later music, neo classical, un-classical, bebop, crappy demo CDs of people who should not be playing music, random sound effects, specific sound effects, 45 rpm 12 inch vinyl that requires you to turn the thing over every 8.5 minutes, heavy metal and lighter alloy metal like Titanium, Richard Burton reading Dylan Thomas, Le Show, BBC3 crowd feet shuffling sounds…).
Tube options for Jolida
Currently using a Jolida Glass FX DAC III, An am very pleased with it's performance. But would like to
change the stock tubes (12AX7's). Looking to take a little brightness out of the sound. Any opinions?
Also, going to purchase Jolida's JDII phono pre. It has the exact 12AX7 tubes and wonder if what works
with the above DAC will be recommended for the JDII?
Thanks in advance
