why are jolidas so cheap?


Hi
I am not sure if jolidas are good amps or not. I am looking for a good integrated used within $600 and a lot of the jolidas are within that price range.
I would like an extremely clean amp 50wpc?
any comments?

for the money why not. i would rather have cheap tubes than good solid state. i heard the jolidas and think they are not to bad. you also might want to try antiuqe sound labs.
I am not directly familiar with either unit, but an internet acquaintance that i speak to somewhat regularly went from a Jolida integrated to the YBA Audio Refinement integrated. He was overjoyed with the difference in performance and has felt no need to upgrade from that point on. Just thought i'd pass the info on as food for thought... Sean

try calling John @ his store in Seattle, The Audio Connection (not the NJ store). He sells lots of lower priced tube amps (including Jolida) and I'm sure would be happy to talk to you about the subject (206-524-7251). He's open mon - sat 11-6.
For another $500+/- you could check into the Mesa Tigris listed here for 1.1K.
