Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps?


Want to join ranks of tube/hybred owners but with a modest budget. I need advice. Wondering if the Jolida integrateds are any good. Seem to be a lot for sale. Also seems many reviews at Audio Review website may have been written by dealers (pity if its true). Looking for honest opinions and suggetions for this audio novice. THANKS.

Still miss my 302b after I sold it a year ago. Jolida doesn't have the ulitmate top notch build quality like higher end tube co's, but I tell you it's definetly one musical amp and a very good deal esp. if you buy it used.

Though I didn't have reliability issues, one thing I question is who/where Jolidas are really made/designed by. I've seen a good few Jolida models claimed to be grey market units by Jolida USA. But internet retailers both in US and overseas have consistently over the years offered seemingly upgraded amps/CD players not shown in Jolida US website and sold in Asia/Europe.
>>A few bucks more and much more the quality<<

Cayin versus Jolida? I don't think so. They are both low-mid fi imported products.

You get what you pay for is correct.

Ever heard of Cayin? A few bucks more and much more the quality. But then again you can get used Jolida real cheap used on audiogon, so if its a tight budget you have then go ahead.

I guess it is a matter of preference. Like I said in an earlier post. Krell vs Levinson kind of thing.

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

Thanks
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!
