mpgwagon Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Yeaterday I hit the big 50! My Wife gave me a new Yamaha CDC-685 CD player! She really couldn't understand me wanting another black box, but pulled through anyway! I have been using my DVD player for audio. I can't believe how good the CD player sounds compared to the DVD player. Anyone else noticed this? Should I use the RCA or digital outputs? ------------------ http://gallery.consumerreview.com/webcrossing/images/MYSTUFF.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 I had the complete opposite experience. I replaced my $1700 Anthem CD-1 with a Sony 9000es -- and found the sound from the 9000es much more engaging and transparent. The Anthem was 6 years old, and I attribute the difference to the newer DAC's. All the newer players, regardless of make -- are light years ahead of previous offerings. How old is your dvd player? ------------------ Deanf>s> Cary AE-25 * S F Line 1 * S9000ES * HSU x-over * SVS CS+ * Klipsch RF7s f>s> Psalm 122:6f>c>s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudret Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I am not sure if this the best place to ask about this, but I am considering to buy a Jolida 601 CD player for $150. Is this a good buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 That price sounds low for even that player. If it is in good working condition, it's a great price. Not sure of the repair history but have heard good things about the sonics. There are several versions of that player. IT might be the very first. kh ------------------ Phono Linn Sondek LP-12 Valhalla / Linn Basic Plus / Sumiko Blue Point CD Player Rega Planet Preamp Cary Audio SLP-70 w/Phono Modified Amplifier Welborne Labs 2A3 Moondog Monoblocks Cable DIYCable Superlative / Twisted Cross Connect Speaker 1977 Klipsch Cornwall I w/Alnico & Type B Crossover system one online / alternate components / Asylum Listing f>s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudret Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Thanks mobile for your quick reply. I've searched all over the web to find more information about this CD player with not much luck. Where can I find more information about it? How do I know which version it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I believe the 601 is a VERY early player for them, quite possibly their first. The have had the 602, 603, and the new 100, that is their most solid machine to date and also their most expensive. Here are a few remarks: http://www.audioreview.com/CD,Players/JoLida,JD601A/PRD_116917_1586crx.aspx You might consider putting a bit more into your front end. I dont know a lot about this player either although I have seen one in person. This player probably has older digital circuitry and a lot has happened on the last three years. Do you have any other options? Would you be able to audition this piece? kh This message has been edited by mobile homeless on 06-25-2002 at 02:23 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudret Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I was considering this player because of its price as a tube CD player. I won't be able to audition it before I buy it. I know that the current owner bought it used and its tubes are upgraded to Sovtek. To put things into perspective, I have a decent Home Theater system and I decided to setup a tube system for music. I am considering a modifed Dynaco st-70 (or maybe an Eico HF-81, which seems more affordable at the moment) and some Klipsch Heresey speakers. I don't have a CD player and Jolida 601 could fit nicely into this setup. It looks like, due to budget limitations, it will take me while to put this together, but that's part of the fun, isn't it?

mobile homeless Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Which Sovtek? Those LPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudret Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I don't know. All he said was "Sovtek tubes". If I seriously consider buying it, I'll ask for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
