For Sale :- Jolida JD9II phonostage.

[Bigman80]

Hi All,

I am selling the Jolida due to being totally seduced by the Wizard phonostage I built

Heres some details from the as I bought it from :

JOLIDA JD9 MKII PHONO PRE-AMPLIFIER in excellent condition & supplied in original packaging.

JOLIDA FACTORY 1 upgrade:-

Addition of resistor array to the input.

INTIMATE AUDIO UPGRADE:- (carried out July 2017)

1. 12AX7 / ECC83 Harma Retro Cryogenic valves

(The Harma ECC83 Retro CRYO is a true sounding recreation of the famous Mullard ECC83

The ECC83-Retro produces the warm detail and harmonically rich midrange that made the Mullard sound so famous. The valve has been designed to have a smooth harmonic slope which gives a warm crunch. The Cryo treatment gives greater depth and clarity to the valve sound, sweetening the highs and tightening the lows .The Cryo also adds a crisp bite to the valve making this the ideal choice to add crunch and punch to your sound. )

2. Valve damper rings.

3. Mundorf aluminium in oil Capacitors**.

4. Bitumastic damping sheets extensively used in chassis & cover.

5. All Op Amps replaced -

2x Analogue Devices AD843KNZ

2x Burr Brown OPA627BP

2x Linear Technology LT1028

6.Russ Andrews 'Silencer' hard wired within chassis.

**Changed by me, The original Mundorf Supremes included in the sale.

Specifications:-

The frequency response is listed in the spec sheet as 5Hz to 110KHz (+/- 1dB).

The signal to noise ratio is > 100dB, and total harmonic distortion is < 0.02%.

The input/output impedance of 100K/600 ohms.

It has settings for MM: 70dB, 5mV

MC High: 85dB, 0.5mV to 1.5mV

MC Low: 95dB, 0.25mV to 0.5mV

Input resistance: 100 ohm, 300 ohm, 1Kohm, 47Kohm

Input capacitance: 47pF, 100pF, 150pF, 220pF

A quick bit of arithmetic shows the upgrades by intimateaudio work out to at least £200 in parts alone.

This is one of the best phonostages I've ever heard. It gives nothing away to anything I've put it against. The reason I am selling it down to Valves. I am just besotted with the Wizard phonostage and will pursue an all valve phonostage of equal quality to the Jolida.

So on to price.

£550 delivered with Harma Cryo Valves

If you want to collect, deduct £25 from either price. Happy to demo with either set of valves too.

Cheers

Bargain alert

I though someone had expressed first dibs on this already?

He's just spend a shed load on something else. I'm sure he'll be in touch if he wants it.

Been offered £525/£530 on eBay but after fees and postage I'm below my threshold. Couple of enquiries on here too but still here!!!!

Ok, weekend is upon us, I feel happy so......

£475 collected. < Threshold!!!!

£485 delivered.

That's yer lot. No less will be offered. I paid £550 (IIRC) and have upgraded it a little further. A magnificent phonostage that really does compete into the £1000+ bracket.

This review is very accurate.

Failing that, I'll stick it in box for a rainy day.
