Question was circuit specific.Answer was a non-sequitur about something else entirely.
Now you cite some fluff-work from a couple of the major cranks in audio to support your non-sequitur.
Brilliant.

Admit it, you are out of your comfort zone on this matter.I never gave technical advice, just a historical perspective of the circuit design.
More than you provided by the way.
Please take the year off now, no one wants to hear your opinion any more.
views on Salvatore very far from universal. That said, you've every right to your opinion of course.However, I must admit that the exchanges here seem to have little bearing on proposed relationship between the C-7 and Jolida JD9. Could you comment on that, as a JD9 owner I'm interested in the connection.
You may agree with Salvatore or disagree with him, his opinion is simply a starting point for research.Anthony Cordesman, Harry Pearson and others also commented on the C7 and C7A designs, I just did not have their reviews handy last night.
Basically, Precision Fidelity was among the early designers to utilize hybrid technology for amps and preamps. The goal was to produce the best overall sound quality in the most natural sense.
Several of the current phono designs use just a single tube, with each section of the tube feeding the two channels.
I have heard great things about the Jadis, and I hope it brings you years of enjoyment.
That's it! Well let me remind you that in the post where you implied a relationship between the C7 and JD9 you also wrote ... "Back in the day, when CAT and Audio Research were duking it out for the best vinyl sections on earth, a little company called Precision Fidelity released the C7 and C7A preamps...".Well I don't know when the C7 was released relative to ARC SP9 but I can tell you most definitively that the SP9 is also a hybrid design (I owned a SP9 MK II for almost a decade), the first gain stage in the phono section is SS (FET based I believe), the second tube based.
So much for the strength of the relationship if the fact that they're both hybrid designs is *it*.
