Jolida JD100 on the way

The moral of the tale is, apart from using your own ears and experimenting, you must know the equipment and preferences of the folks making the recommmendations regarding the sound of tubes before you can apply it usefully to your situation.

This says it all, Nick. I recommend reading Newbee's post until it really sinks in. Great advice for anyone interested in this hobby, and he puts it so well.

Nick,
Upon re-reading my post, I thought I might have sounded condescending, which was not my intention. I just know you've had a lot of questions of late in regards to tube characteristics, and thought Newbee's post hit the nail on the head. That's all.

Thanks guys,

No offense taken. I am a totally new when it comes to tubes. So I can use a little kick in the but sometimes. It usually takes a while for new information to soak in and for me to get a handle on it.

I am going to list my Rega for sale so I can move to a Jolida. I guess the sale of the rega dictates whether I will move to a Jolida or not.

Cheers & thanks again,

Wow, What a nice player for $600 used. Smmmmooooth!! and thats before the NOS Mullards go in. This vinyl guy can live with this cdp for a LONG time!
Thx everyone.

ecool_blue, just curious, what CDP did the Jolida replace in your system???
