ideas on all the mods offered on jolida amps

Elevick,

Do you think that's true about re-sale? I would think, and can see in the classifieds, that if someone reputable does the mod, RAM, Underwood, etc. that the ability to sell wouldn't be hindered. I think that self-modding anything as well as any type of speaker mod's become hard sell's, but componenet mod's done by someone as listed above shouldn't be a problem. On the contrary I would say.

Regards,

To be honest, I had mine modded into a 302b/305b convertable, so it could run all three types of tubes (6550, KT88, EL34). I got a new volume control, cardas wiring, new caps, soft diodes... the upgrade didn't do as much as I'd hoped. I still found the sound to be a bit on the warm, soft and fuzzy side. Imaging may have improved a slight bit. I noted these sonic characteristics on 3 sets of speakers: triangle titus, proac 2.5, and Spica 60's. If you want more info, email me directly.

Wow, Peter, that is quite an indictment on mods. You are backing up what I have often repeated. Not long ago, a fellow was blaming me for his Jolida's poor performance. My praise for the stock Jolida influenced his decision to buy one, only he decided to get a modded one. Of course, I would have nothing to do with it.

Wow,
No one giving praise to the benefits of the mods, makes me think that I should look at either stock a jolida or if I am going to spend the money at something like the Unico or solid states like musical fiedlity versus an upgraded jolida. Thanks for the input any other ideas would be appreciated.
