Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps?

Ever heard of Cayin? A few bucks more and much more the quality. But then again you can get used Jolida real cheap used on audiogon, so if its a tight budget you have then go ahead.
But you get what you pay for.

Still miss my 302b after I sold it a year ago. Jolida doesn't have the ulitmate top notch build quality like higher end tube co's, but I tell you it's definetly one musical amp and a very good deal esp. if you buy it used.

Though I didn't have reliability issues, one thing I question is who/where Jolidas are really made/designed by. I've seen a good few Jolida models claimed to be grey market units by Jolida USA. But internet retailers both in US and overseas have consistently over the years offered seemingly upgraded amps/CD players not shown in Jolida US website and sold in Asia/Europe.

>>A few bucks more and much more the quality<<

Cayin versus Jolida? I don't think so. They are both low-mid fi imported products.

You get what you pay for is correct.

I guess it is a matter of preference. Like I said in an earlier post. Krell vs Levinson kind of thing.

So what exactly am I getting if I buy a $4000 mid low fi Cayin or Jolida product?

Thanks
