Suggestions for an integrated amp?

I'm looking to upgrade amps my budget is 600-700 US. I was looking into either a musical fidelity a3 ( in the used market ) or a new Jolida jd-1501 new. The musical fidelity looks to me like being a perfect choice although, the jolida gives me that impression that its a cheap amp. Anyone have or can comment on the jolida? Any other suggestions would be great thanks!

What's the rest of your system? The A3 is great. I've owned one. One of my other favorites in that price range is the Audio Refinement Complete.

You have a very nice little system already. The A3 is a great choice. I had a Jolida 1701a for a while and thought it was good but lacked resolution. Your speakers would make that too obvious I think. The A3 won't have that problem.

As S7horton says, the Audio Refinement Complete is very very nice. But if you want to get into vacuum tubes (which I highly recommend), the Consonance Cyber 100 that is up for sale here would be a great choice. I have no connections with the seller. I am very familiar with the Consonance M100 Plus - it was a super nice amp for the money. Unless you really like music loud, a 40W tube amp would work great.

I owned the A3 previously and would highly recommend it.I also owned the 3.2 and liked the A3 better.YMMV.Incidentally ,I believe the A3 is 170 watts into 4 ohms,if your speakers are 4 ohm.
