I likewise didn't prefer the Sovtek LPS tubes in a stock JD9. The LPS were "objectively" better, quieter for example, but ultimately I didn't enjoy the sound as much ... the was something about the stock tubes that I found more natural sounding. The LPS tubes found their way into my Jolida JD-100 CD Player where I did prefer them over the tock tubes ... that said the stock tubes sounded very good in the CDP as well.

I subsequently went down the upgrade path with my JD9, now a Underwood HiFi/Parts Connection Level III with EH tubes. I suspect I'd opt for the EH tubes in a stock JD9 but again I very much doubt it would be a complete route ... those stock tubes are very good IMHO.

Dunno about leaving it on all the time. - HenryH 14:03:09 09/08/06 (5)

For the break in period leaving it on for 5 days straight is a good way to go. (NT) - tubesforever 21:41:18 09/08/06 (4)

I'd say 6,000-8,000 hours, but that's just a WAG. - HenryH 06:01:56 09/09/06 (1)
