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.

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.
But you get what you pay for.

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!
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!
