Perhaps I am putting some of the faults of the 12ax7 on the Jolida. Also the fact that I can't find a CD player PERIOD that comes close to sounding as good as vinyl. I also can't say how the jd9 sounds as I have never heard it. I just made a guess. Nice work though.
Follow Ups:
you the same guy who said of the JD9, "Could it be the tubes are a buffer and not amplifying? If so I'm glad I didn't buy one."Perhaps you can point to a resource that articulates the universal ills of buffer stages in circuit design, or at least something that would help us make sense of your rational.
I can say in advance the it had better be pretty convincing since the idea of making disparaging remarks about audio components one has never even heard doesn't bode well if the idea is to inspire confidence in ones opinions, quite the opposite actually!
I said what I said based on my experience with tube CD players. Any resonable person should be able to tell I have never heard the JD9. Hence "I'm glad I never bought one". You on the other hand are obviously a troll. I really doubt anyone who has read this thread considers you credible.
your next phono stage commentary based upon your experience with CDPs ... tube or otherwise.Oh, and do let me know when you post on circuit design, buffer stages or otherwise, I'm sure to learn a great deal from that as well!
The question has come-up here a lot and so I hope that will help to put some of it to rest. Many people don't care for digital sound and when you have a really nice analog system it isn't easy to find a good CD player that you feel can convey the same warmth and natural sound. A lot of people find the Jolida unit to be close to this goal. It is hard to get out there and hear a lot of the offerings for many people so their choices and opinions are often limited by their experience. You will find an excellent CD player that you can live with if you keep up the search. They will never be as fun to handle and to read-over though!
