Time to drool & dream about the next huge audio purchase...

I like Jolida products due to their price/performance ratio. With a few mods, they're tough to beat. Besides, this baby will make a nice electric heater!!

    Nice piece! EL34's as a general rule have such a sweet midrange. And as you said this will make a very pretty space heater.:D

    BTW I think audiogon might be having a little trouble. That link took forever to load. Just FYI.

    Very cool. Have you had a chance to listen to it yet? Would you run a seperate pre or just stick with using it for it's amp section?

    Audiogon is working just fine for me...

    Never owned any tube gear, but they sure do look classy. What speakers would you use?

    This unit just hit the market, so I haven't listened to it. Not sure if there are any Jolida dealers in my area anyways. I already have a Jolida int. amp, so this unit would be an "upgrade."

    I wouldn't run a separate pre. I like integrated amps 'cause they're easier on the wallet and there's fewer components, cables, cords, etc.

    This amp would certainly make a great conversation piece when friends come over to visit. At 55 lbs, it's a heavyweight.
