    Thanks guys, but at that price I'll just wait till I have the grand or so to get the ASL AQ1003 DT integrated amp and not have to worry with the buffer.

    ezc. Thanks for all the great info. I think I'm about ready to pull the trigger & order the Jolida 502b integrated tube amp w/ the Underwood hi-fi mod package. Delivered will set me back about $1645. According to Wally from Underwood this unit w/ the mod package will absolutely blow me away, expect goose bumps. It can be used in both HT & 2 channel. It will take my HT to a new level & really put my 2 channel over the top. I'm excited & can't wait. If it's anything like you describe your rig I'll be very happy.

    Congrats! You may have to give them some burn in time. When I first hooked up my Jolida hybrid integrated, it was HORRIBLE!, but it literally started sounding better with each passing minute. I swear I could tell it as it was happening.

    Congrats on your new piece, never heard that integrated but the Jolida gear I have seen and heard has been very very good.
