Counterpoint vs Jolida

Hi,

Curious to know if anyone has done an A-B demo with these two companies. They both make ( made ) hybrid amps.

thanks!

His "newer" Jolida based in Maryland seems to be the real deal and they make cool things with fine quality…and service based in MD.

I do a little survey (ongoing actually) when visiting high end "salons" here and there and among the "expert" employees (who sell the above mentioned brands) the number of these guys who have actually heard a Jolida anything (except at a bewildering hifi show) would be zero, except for one guy who heard an FX10 someplace. Few recent reviews, virtually no ads anywhere…crazy...
