    Quite different, more "analogue"? More musical, detailed, wider soundstage.
    Quite a lot better.

    The Valab is very good for the money. I like the Jolida stuff that I have heard.

    Agreed, the Valab is good.

    This Jolida has upgraded output caps, and a choice of valves, currently Siemens .

    Telefunken. I put two in my Jolida phonostage and the difference is substantial.

    When I had a jolida it would lose the plot if I switched on my phonostage, a pop through the speakers and I would have to start the laptop again to get the Jolida to see it again. Other than that it was very nice.
