Black Ice(former Jolida Company)new integrated amp opinions

Have the Black Ice F360 hybrid preamp in my exercise room audio system.  I really like it.  It throws a big soundstage, nice spatial cues, with midrange liquidity and clarity.  A real winner piece of kit.

I purchased the Black Ice F35 with el34 tubes and it took around 200hours for the tubes and the amp to sound it's best. I love this amp much more than my Atoll and Kinki integrated amp. Warm,lush,transparent and dig really deep into the low frequency.

If they ever become available again, try new production Gold Lion KT88s in your F35. I prefer these over the Gold Lion Kt77s I tried previously.

I will second the k88 in the f35. I purchased the f35 about 6 months ago, just to have a different sound. My main amp is a Pass labs intergrated  60, soon to be replaced by pass intergrated 250. I use my f35 with kef LS50 and sub. When I switch set ups, I don’t miss my pass labs. Not saying the Black ice is better,  just a different sound I enjoy and don’t get from the pass. For the money black ice is very good. It has very good bass punch for tubes.
