best chinese tube amp under $1k?

People knock Jolida but I've had pretty good luck with them. I currently have a Jolida 102b that I picked up here on Agon a couple months back for $350. I previously owned a Jolida 302b and the little FX10. For near field listening (which is what I have to do since I have a desktop system) I really like the 102b. The FX10 was ok but I didn't care for it's looks. The 302b was also ok but seemed to be really bass shy. The 102b is the sweet spot IMO especially at the price I paid. Both the 102b and 302b seem pretty well built to me (the FX10 feels and looks cheaper). I also owned a VTL ST85 which gave me a lot of problems so I can't really recommend them though I did like their MB125 mono blocks driving maggies.

Eastern Electric ia a very nice sounding amp leaving money out of the equation.High Quality build as well.

Some of these amps made in China are a killer value and a DIY dream for mods. Fun stuff that sounds good for cheap.

I have a 102B that ive been listening to for the past couple months while getting repairs done on my seperates.It sounds very good,not the last word in resolution,or bass,but for the price, hard to beat.Im listening to The Planets right now and really impressed with the quality Im getting thru this amp.

My vote is for the Jolida JD-502P amplifier. Can be found for under $1000 or a little over $1000 with mods straight from Jolida. It can also be used with the Tung Sol KT-120 tubes.
