tube/integrated 2ch beginner

The Jolida integrateds are most wonderful sounding components, particularly once you replace the stock tubes. My advice though is to go for an all tube unit, not a hybrid. Look towards the 302B, 801, or 1000 - but, avoid the 502 as it's not very good sounding.

I'm sure others will recommend the Prima Luna amplifiers, as they have been gaining traction of late. So far, I have yet to hear them, but like what I see.

you won't beat the jolida 1501

Audio research with remote and the CJ CA 50 are very nice , reliable and cheap for how good they sound the CJ is a litle sweeter. tery are around 1300 !

Keep the Adcom and replace the Yamaha with something like Rotel, Adcom, Anthem, B&K....You might be amazed and still have only 1 system taking up space.

It would help to know what you are going to match this up with? Speakers, CDP, etc.

vman71,

As far as a cdp was thinking jolida, have heard good things re sound quality for the price..As far as speakers I currently have def tech 7004's. I know, I know, I know, they aren't great speakers for 2 ch. But they rock for ht and that is 80% of what i do currently(mostly concert dvds)..So for now that they will have to serve both purposes.

Ditto Trelja on this. The 302b is VERY hard to beat FOR THE MONEY. A great entry level all tube integrated amplifier.

You can't go wrong with the PrimaLuna Prologue 1. Autobiasing makes this a turn it on and play music amp.
