why are jolidas so cheap?


Hi
I am not sure if jolidas are good amps or not. I am looking for a good integrated used within $600 and a lot of the jolidas are within that price range.
I would like an extremely clean amp 50wpc?
any comments?

I have a Jolida 302A and with the replacement of the Chinese tubes there is absolutely nothing wrong with it for the price. True it is not the best but for your price range you won't find much better. It doesn't match my 300B with a 2C22 or 26 preamp.

Don't let the SS crowd discourage you. Tube sound has depth and sound stage rather than the monodimensional nerve wracking irritation of odd order distortion. The Jolida uses common tubes which are available in a variety of qualities.
