I'm thinking about a Jolida system, and would like to know from those in the know!

I had the Jolida 502a and the CM. Sold the Jolida.

It was good, but the CM was better, and easier to set bias as there is a built in meter. I've been tempted to upgrade the CM to the II, but its in my second system and I can find better ways to spend my money.

Now if you can save some more coin, and wait. Wait for a Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated Used, and a phono stage, head and shoulders above either the CM or the Jolida.

Good luck.

The Rogue is built in the USA and is an excellent amp for the money.  I owned one at one time.  I don't know much about Jolida other than I had one of their CD players, it gave me a lot of problems and Jolida took it back and gave me a refund.

My Jolida 502p amp was amazing. Sounded extremely well balanced tonally, and was a joy to roll tubes through, from NOS Mullards 12AT7s, Gold Lion 12AX7s, and various KT88s, KT120s (Lasted a very long time), KT150s, etc., and had a factory upgrade package that was relatively inexpensive at that time (5 or 6 years ago). When I researched tube amps at a certain price point really nothing compared…I only sold it as I now use a single ended amp with very efficient speakers. Note you can call the MD Jolida guys and ask about their stuff…highly recommended and beautifully made gear.
