I had a Jolida 502P power amp that served me well for years, and I found the Jolida dudes in MD to be a joy to talk to. I'm currently using a SS Kavent S-33 (obscure re-badged Vincent) preamp that sounds great, but will be auditioning (meaning I just bought it) a Schiit Freya soon (starting today as it just arrived) that is a feature packed balanced preamp with 4 tubes which are part of a passive, FET, or tube option switching thing, and it's relatively inexpensive. Or WAY relatively inexpensive. Schiit also makes a well regard tube preamp called a Saga that's also tubed for 350 bucks, so options exist.
Trying to bridge a gap between my amp and speakers
I'm not an audiophile compared to the many in this forum, but I love the sound of music. I'm looking to get a new preamp to replace having to bridge my Bryston 4bsst through my Mac 4100 receiver. I'm using this setup for 2ch stereo.
I was wondering if any one has had experience with Jolida. I'm looking at the Fusion preamp and was wondering what your thoughts would be pairing it with my Bryston.
Thanks for any input.
