Sell or save


I have an older Jolida 502 integrated that had some upgrades. I replaced it with another amplifier. Just wondering how many people keep a spare around for just in case. This summer, the new amp needed some work and I was happy to have the spare, but my wife would like to get rid of the extra stuff. I figure the amp is not worth too much (? $400) so would you keep a spare, or put it out there for someone else?

It is heavy, so shipping might be a significant factor in terms of what I could get for it.

Maybe just give it a whirl on the local Craigslist?

I would say if you have the space in your house keep the Jolida 502 integrated you have. How old is it? The Jolida 502P I have from a couple of years ago is the amp section of the Jolida 502CRC Integrated and it can handle Tung Sol 150 tubes. With those tubes in your Jolida you can handle lots of speakers out there.

Regarding the sale value you will take it on the chin if you try to sell it. I've seen some Jolida 502 series amps used go for under $700 which is a steal IMO. You can try various sites like Craigslist but I just have mixed results selling audio gear on there. Lots of flakes, spam and the usual lowballers.

I keep spare amps to just mix things up and should an amp go which has happened I'll always have something to keep my speakers singing.
