Jolida JD100 on the way

Not to pull the thread away from the discussion, but you might also experiment with power cords. When we had the JD-100, an upgrade to a pricey PC really opened up the midrange.
Enjoy that player. It's very good.

Stevecham, Is that Ei or EH ?
If Ei, just the regular 12AX7 $7 each ones ?

mod. It is a good player, but I've never been satisified with the bass of the unit. I use RCA NOS tubes which improved on both of these sonic areas. I also use a Shunyata Diamondback pc which improved the high end clarity as well. You will definitely want a good power cord to improve this baby. I use the standard feet.

ecool, I highly endorse the EI's Stevecham commented on, however they have had a bit of a QC problem so be sure to buy from a reputible dealer and buy ones which have been tested for microphonics (usually this is done in the matching process, as in matched pair. Costs a few bucks more but well worth it). If you buy these from unknown internet sellers you risk buying others rejects.

Ecool, they are the Ei (not EH I tried these and the results were not as good) matched dual triodes for the extra $5 a tube, fantastic!
