Jolida Fx10

Sfar, yes the stock 12AX7s are indeed Electro Harmonix. The EL84s are Tung Sol.

Thanks, Pizzatheorem. Mine came with Electro Harmonix tubes all around.

I've picked up some alternative tubes that I've been really happy with. I traded some nice El-34's from another amp for a selection of vintage RCA and Tung-Sol 12ax7's and some re-issue Tung-Sol's, all of which sound better to me than the stock Electro Harmonix tubes.

I'm running some Russian 6P14P-EV's in place of the EL-84's and those have been a nice surprise. I also picked up a quad of old Brimar El-84's that sound wonderful but I'm saving those for 'special' times, which means I'll probably never get around to using them.

I'm still extremely happy with the FX10. With a MacBook Pro feeding a Nuforce uDAC and on to the FX10, then to the JohnBlue JB3's it's a very satisfying office system.

Sorry, I had it backwards. The stock 12AX7s are TS and the stock EL84s are EH in my new FX10. However, I had a short email conversation with Jolida and Michael said the stock tubes were all EH.
Don't have my system up and running yet, but I too will be playing files from a laptop and through a DAC (HRT Music Streamer II). The speakers will be open baffle speakers with high sensitivity drivers. I may also get a chance to directly compare the FX10 to the 302BRC which should be revealing. I'll report back here if that happens.

Any updates regarding the Jolida FX10? I'm curious about this integrated. Seems like a nice way to get into tubes without hurting the wallet.

I don't have anything to add about the amp itself beyond what I wrote earlier. I use it every day and really enjoy it, have had zero problems. The 6P14P-EV tubes and re-issue TungSol 12AX7's have become the default setup, very quiet and good sounding.

I did replace the Nuforce uDAC between the FX10 and the iMac with an Aune Mini DAC SE and that was a tremendous improvement for not much more money than the uDAC.
