S.S. Replacement for Jolida 302B w/ Silverlines?

I've heard a Vincent 236 integrated and I like it...it's good...and the tubes last a very long time. Also, the thing is a lot larger in person than the pics indicate, so you can get your largeness gear thing going on.

How much is a used LFD integrated. they get a lot of praise. You may want to look into it.
BTW whats the problem with the tubes. There is a pair of Consonance Cyber 800s for sale here which are simply incredible amps for $1,800 a steal - no affiliation but you will be amazed.

How about Canadian made? The Simaudio integrateds are beautifully built, dead-solid reliable and sound great with every kind of music I've ever listened to.

It should be easy to find and I-5 or I-3 in your price range.

Lloydelee21, if I ever wanted to return to SS (not gonna happen) the Forte4 and Audible Illusions 3 (owned both together years ago) was sweet and a synergistic match with my Vandy 2ce's and Sound Dynamic 300ti. Nice recommend, brings back some fond memories.

my own doing would be a vintage pioneer amp or sx receiver. i have a marantz 1070 integrated amp that sounds real nice, and a pioneer sx 880 that sounds great. have klipsch speakers, good cables and interconnects. onkyo c7030 cd player. suits me fine. i do not need levi jeans when faded glory jeans do me fine at $10 pair. we used to laugh about japanese made gear, now we brag about if something was made in japan. some of these china made amps will prove out in the long run. jolida will become a respected name. the amps exceed their price in performance quaility and build quality. take care.
