LUA vs Jolida

Archived from groups: rec.audio.high-end (More info?)

The Lua looks much better on the inside, but I don't know if it's
price would be justified by it's construction in light of the Jolida
unit. I don't care for the tubed CD players which I have heard much.
The old CAL units were worthy of comment for their time, but these
days there are so many good ss alternatives, I can't see the reason
for adding the noise in better systems. In an average or mid-fi
system, they make for a very rich and involving improvement over an
otherwise typically artificial and sterile sound.
