I have the Foz v2. Mine is 2 years old.
The closeout price on Musicdirect makes it a best buy.
I had to negotiate to get that same price. Now you can get it without the haggle.
Just know it's no longer in production, but you will get full support in the event of a warranty issue from the distributor-Musical Surroundings.
The Jolida is probably a fine unit but you'll hear a night and day difference. The Foz clearly a step above.
Here's Foz info:

Stock it sounds good. It can be nudged to greatness with tube/power cord tweaking.
