For sale is my prized Jolida JD-100 Tube output CD Player in mint condition, barely used. You've read numerous raving reviews about this player, now is your chance to buy one at a significant discount with a ton of extras! I purchased this unit 2 years ago and ended up moving after using it only 2 months. It has since remained boxed in the original packing for the last 24 months in a climate controlled, non-pet, non-smoking, low humidity and dust free closet waiting to be put back into use.
The only reason I am selling it is because my entertainment room is still at least a year away (perpetually), and I am going to sell off a bunch of my gear.
The JD-100 includes the original box, original manual, original billet remote, and a TON of NOS and other tubes:
(2) Sovtek 12AX7WA (Russian tubes, $18 value) – currently in the CDP
(2) Ei Elite Gold 12AX7EG (Yugoslavian tubes with gold pins, $34 value), matched pair.
(2) NOS GE JG5751/WA military, 5751 blackplate triple mica, Premium military grade 12AX7 (Jan Blackplate), matched pair. Purchased from Audiotubes dot com for $94/pair.
(2) NOS GE JAN-12AX7 Large Plate 1963 Military, matched pair. Purchased from Upscale Audio for $90.
(2) NOS ECC83/12AX7 Tungsram Hungary. Purchased for $60 on audiogon.
This is a very well reviewed unit for good reason; extended and smooth highs, rich and liquid midrange, and the bass of a solid state unit. And you can change the sound to your taste with different tubes. I rated the unit an 8/10 only because it's more than a year old and the remote is missing one of the small 'feet' on the back of it. Jolida said they'd send a few to me at no cost, but I haven't had the time or motivation to call them back.
I can email you reviews of the unit if you’d like. I also have a ton of photos of the tubes and unit, box, etc if you want them.
I’m asking $680 for all of it; which is a great deal! The unit was $1000, and I’m including over $300 in tubes in the deal.
I have a ton of photos if you want to see any.
