i have had nice jolida pieces too. loved a jd202, but had some minor problems. tube gear can be problematic no matter the brand. that is why so many years ago solid state was higher, and thought to be a wonderful advancement. i got a dealership with jolida.com. there is a big deal going on now about jolida.net and jolida.com and who is the real deal. which website has been around the longest? they would be the real deal. i would think. that is jolida.com. we all know how the asian markets can be about doing knock offs. china and korea and hong kong are real bad about it. you can find tons of it on ebay- it is a dumping ground for cheap knock offs on electronics, leather products, and other name brands. the china factory is trying to usurp the jolida name and business. this is going to be a problem for other companies too. i have said this for the past 10 years. if you want to buy jolida go to jolida.com find the number, call mike allen and order. or get in touch with me. i have a demo unit now for sale. this china outfit has been doing other unethical things as well. and, right now the website jolida.net is inaccesible as it is under construction. korean company will knock off china company and on and on it goes. they just have a perfect environment for doing this, and a usa market always looking for a cheap deal and believing they can get one. this is a shame because jolida.com was on the way to becoming a well respected brand. please, please spread this info around. i do not have the time to visit so many forums. have a hard time typing due to seizure activity. please? thank you. jolida.com was around first.
