The sound is excellent for the price and although I have been tempted to upgrade I just continue to enjoy it daily. Isn't this what it's all about?

Do you want an integrated amp? Is the 10 watts in the Jolida enough? What kind of speakers are you driving? Jolida can be a good start but make sure the model you pick will do the job. Also, I always plan on re-tubing a Jolida. The factory tubes are the weak point. I do see a Sophia Electric on Audiogon, a Yaquin with more power, a Finale for a few bucks more that will need tubes, but US Audio Mart has a bunch of pieces in the $500 range. My choice, get the Pilot 240, have it serviced and really enjoy the sound.
