Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps?

Had the Cayin A50 T (months) and the A88T (about 20hrs on A88) and
like the Jolida 302B better than both. FWIW.
Love my Cayin CDT- A17 cdp though. All depends on your system!

fwiw, i listen to modified 502b with rolled tubes thru my kestral 2's and the guy that says the sound is mid or low fi is off his rocker... i am not an expert in tubes per se but i can tell the difference between very good musical sound reproduction and mid fi! many tube amp owners say modifying makes a big difference and maybe this is the case here as well. nonetheless, paying $2K more for so called high end quality with half the watts sounds like money down the rathole unless you have extremely efficient speakers and or a big ego and 24K golden ears! seems to me a lot of pseudo-audiophiles think price and quality define musical sound reproduction. i'd rather ride in an older caddy than a new bmw on a cross country road trip!

Launche says
"So what exactly am I getting if I buy a $4000 mid low fi Cayin or Jolida product?"

Hopefully your money's worth.

lol :)

In December 2005 I posted about Jolida and at the time was dickering over a like-new, used 302B. I bought the unit and it has been wonderful; it is not modified, save for a Jolida mod., the subwoofer output. I am using NOS Svetlana EL34 power tubes, 1962 Sylvania 12AX7A organ pre-amp tubes and CV4024 (12AT7) military Mullard tubes as drivers. The sound is wonderful. I sold the Klipsch speakers and bought a pair of Spica TC-50i's and I am back to where I came from. Now I am looking for a subwoofer to try that out. Jolida is not easy to beat for the money. If I modified the unit it would probably surprise me, but I am curious about the new 302B that has no balance control. LED biasing and remote. That might sound even better than the current model.
