What tubes are you using in your Jolida JD 100?


I'd be very interested in the tubes JD 100 owners have tried and what improvements, if any, have been realized by the new tubes? Also, what have you experienced in regards to improvements in audio quality after a burn in period. Regards

Ei gold, JJ Tesla and TungSol all work very well, currently running the TungSols for the last three months and am very happy. I don't believe in NOS as I have tried these, spent too much money and there is no difference. That's snake oil as far as I'm concerned. The tubes made these days are much, much better than those of years past.
groove tube GT12ax7m This is a reissue of the Mullard 12ax7/ecc83.At 50$ for a matched pair you can't go wrong.
Tubes I've rolled in the JD-100:

Sylvania JHS Gold Label 5751WAs (I finally settled on using these, very palpable 3D sound, wonderfully detailed, etc. - great but pricey tubes); the stock Jolida 12AX7s (ech!); Sovtek 12AX7LPS (not a good fit for the JD-100)); GE JAN 5751 blackplates (ok, liked them better than the Sovteks); two pair of GE JG 5751 triple mica blackplates (very good tubes, could have stayed with these had I not tried the Sylvania tubes); Fisher-branded Telefunken and Amperex 12AX7s (not a good match with this unit, sd nonr of the 12XA7s seem to bring out the detail in a realistic fashion, the Sylvania just crushes in this regard.).

FYI - I also upgraded the PC to a cryoed VH Audio Flavor 1, which bolsters the bottom end of the JD-100. Furthermore, I use Walker SST on the tube pins-RCA connectors-IEC-PC, which enhanced the amount of detail provided by the unit. Also use Herbie's Hal-O 9 tube dampers. Unit rests on a 22 lb. granite slab supported by Vibrapods. Also has a 12 lb. piece of marble on the top resting on coasters.

YMMV.
I don't have one but I have a caryin and use supplied tues that came with it....
