Any love for Jolida integrates?

Jolida produces outstanding tube integrated amplifiers.  Have previously used them.  No, they don't outshine my Jadis, but who would expect that?

Put it this way, I'm about to take up a second residence in the Vancouver, BC (no, nothing to do with Trump or Hillary) area, and will put together a third system there.  The one product that keeps popping up in my mind for this new place is a Jolida integrated.

I have a JD-1000 integrated amp. It is an early version.  I've only had one issue with it,  the volume pot needs to be cleaned with contact cleaner every few years.  Early on with the amp, I wanted  subwoofer out RCA added.  I am not a tech person, so I sent it back to Jolida.  Dealing with the Jolida people was a pleasure, very down to earth and just plain nice.  When I went looking for a phono pre-amp Jolida was at the top of the list.  Given the performance and price of there product they offer real value.

I ranted in earlier posts about how great the guys at Jolida were when I bought my "upgraded" 502p 4 or so years ago. I was able to waste a lot of their time on the phone (Including talking to the Jolida founder, Mike Allen), and they actually sent me a list of what was upgraded…lots of little things. Also I have recently started using Gold Lion (re-issue) KT88s in the thing and really like ’em after KT120s, 150’s and other 6550 (stock) and Sovtek 88s…the Lions roar, or at least sound fabulous and are certainly capable of roaring I suppose. I remain surprised at the fact there are so few reviews of the amps although maybe it’s because they barely (or not at all) advertise these things…strange.

I have an old JD-202A. According to Mike Allen it is an early one.  It is like a timex just keeps on playing.  With the new golden lions and Klipsch Herasy's the sound is astonishingly fantastic. 

I sell Jolida gear. I have heard lots of amps over the years- new and vintage. Jolida amps are very nice sounding amps- about the best amp you are going to get for the money, and the Fusion models will compare to amps costing a good bit more. One thing I keep hearing from customers again and again- no listener fatigue. The all tube amps, and the hybrids as well have a really pleasant sound- clear, smooth, and natural. The 3502 amp is awesome sounding. The 801 is really strong in highs, mids, and bass. Is very clear sounding. If you are considering a Jolida amp I will beat any price- look me up. See petery-hedden com. Or Anderson Audio Gallery (on FB). All of their amps sound great. Be sure to buy ones from Jolida in Maryland USA. Avoid the Jolidaaudio.net- not real thing. Bob A.
