I purchased a used Jolida JD1501(hybrid integrated amp)a little over 1 year ago.It has been maintenance(biasing is not necessary with the integrated amps) and trouble free.For the money;warm sound with power,clean with a nice soundstage and enough inner detail.I've been extremly pleased with mine and consider Jolida to be a budget audiophile bargain.Best of luck.
Reliablity of Jolida equipment
I understand this is probably a "thread" that has been asked before...but as a working class stiff with tight funds...is the so-called tube "glow" worth it in terms of tube replacements,biasing,etc...at the $500 used level...would a solid state amp...in terms of low maintenance...be the better option...I am not one for "modifying" or tweaking equipment...I just want decent sound...
