Hi,
Looking at getting a Jolida SJ 302b tube amp.
Any one running these amps? Also what about the common ground, is this amp or tube amps common ground?
I do have an Polk isolation transformer cable with pin/ blade, but not for the SRS pin/pin.
Thanks,
Dave

I don't know if it is common ground(it looks to be). I did find a PDF of the innards maybe someone else knows how to read them.

Just wanted to check before I purchased the amp that I did not have any issues with common ground amp problem or fry the speakers.

I am running the SDA 1C currently and then prior I was running the SDA-SRS2 and the SDA-CRS+ with the Jolida 801b without any problems.

Fuji, I'd love to hear a review of the Jolida with the SRS's when you get it home!
I have the same speakers and have been running them with an Adcom 555 MkII, and have been "gently informed"
that I need better amplification.
What are you currently using?design is where science and art break even. -
Also, I believe I read somewhere that an isolation transformer will not work with blade/blade SDA's.design is where science and art break even.

newrival,
Right now I'm using SAE502 amp. My carver tfm die. All the other carvers are in the HT setup.
Would like to try some tube amp for the SRS.SDA SRS, 3.1TL, 2B, SDA CRS, Outlaw Sub

Never heard an SAE amp in person, and I've had bad luck with Carvers as well. had a set of m-400t's that crapped out. I thought they sounded alright. But I do have Carver plate amps on my subs, and I love em.
I'd also like to get tubes on the SRS's and see how they respond.design is where science and art break even. -
I have used them with both the adcom 555 and the jolida 801b- I liked the jolida more. Female voices esp norah jones etc sounded much better.

I have 5 carvers and 2 now dot not work. I like the sound from the carver. I have a bunch of the old SAE power amps. Sound is not as good as a caver, but they produce lots more power than the carvers.SDA SRS, 3.1TL, 2B, SDA CRS, Outlaw Sub

Fujicat, very sorry to hear your carver tfm died, a lot of fellow polksters here use them and love them. SAE used to make some very nice equipment in their earlier series as you probably have some of these components.Let us know what you decide on getting.
