Tweak a Jolida 302B or Look Elsewhere?


Looking for a good tube-amp match to go with the following system:

Proac 2.5 and Vandersteen 2CE Sig speakers
Rogue Audio 66 Preamp
Cambridge Audio D500SE CDP (soon to upgrade to Arcam FMJ or ???)

I currently own a Jolida 302B that has a slightly humming transformer, and as long as I'm going to fix the tranformer I might consider making some mods. What do you think - is a tweaked 302B suitable for this system, or should I just sell the 302B (fixed or as-is) and go for a different tube amp (e.g. AR, Berning, ???).

Note: someone mentioned to me that the transformer hum could just be a grounding issue. I'll try a cheater. Also, any recommendations for the CDP upgrade with this system. Thanks Alot.

I have listened to a modified 302b from dajavu audio in mclean va that they sell for 1500.00 that had no hum what so ever, and drove my dynaudio's beautifuly so pretty good listening levels.I think there web site is dejavuaudio.com.
