SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

This is the amp I recently acquired from Noah. Selling due to being crazy enough to buy two tube amps at the same time, don't need both.

This is a Jolida SJ302A integrated 2 channel tube amp. It produces 50wpc of power and has 4 inputs, and balance and volume controls. The backside (shown) also has both 4 and 8 ohm speaker terminals. The tubes are as follows: GE12AT7 ECC81, WH12AX7, and the power tubes are matched Russian ELH34s from the tubestore.

I'd like to get $600 for this plus shipping. I just paid Noah $625 plus shipping for the same item. I am in Baltimore if anyone wants a listen we can hook it up to my Strata Minis.

    How does this compare power-wise with the Onix? I know the SP-3 is rated at 35wpc and this at 50, but what's your honest assessment?
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    The Onix puts out a lot more power, though it is rated lower. They sound pretty much the same, but power output is a different matter. To drive my relatively inefficient Strata Minis - the more power the better.

    When are they coming out with a matching center channel for your Mini's?

    I have a friend interested in black CSi5. So keep that in the back of your mind if it is not to far off.

    On another/same note I may be looking to get rid of my RTi10's also.

    Dude, get some kind of cable with some sort of shielding. You don't need to spend a lot, but those 'came in the box' rca's are HORRIBLE.

    Nice amp!

    I agree 100%. I miss that glow now that my TAD's are gone. My wife doesn't like how any tube gear w/ visible tubes looks but that has nothing to do with why I sold them. One of the guys that bought one said his wife thinks that they are ugly. Guess its a chick thing :confused:

    You guys are nuts, in a good way. That was just a temporary hookup in the bedroom to a cheapo pair of ADS bookshelves. I ran out of good connectors, and being as the speakers sucked, what diff did the interconnects make?

    In a smaller room it would most definitely had been. And with bookshelves - more than enough. My main rig lives in a big room though and the volume just wasn't there.

    BTW, sale fell through even after payment was sitting in my paypal account. guy wanted a 302B so he could add a remote control to it (why you'd add electronics to a tube amp is beyond me). The ad clearly stated several places that it was a 302A.

    I knew those pics would get me in trouble. When I saw those cheapo interconnects in the viewfinder of my camera I knew I should have unplugged them.

    Yeah, he did. I had a backup sale that I _think_ will go through but I'm not counting my chickens this time, even though I had the money in the bank.

    Well.... after the first sale was reversed I've had 4 or 5 very interested parties but I'm unwilling to let this go for less than $600 (its a damned nice amp!) and all the other interested parties wanted it for $600 shipped.

    So I'm keeping it and bought a pair of Onix Ref 1 monitors to pair up with it. This will allow me to upgrade the CD player in my main system and put the Denon 2910 upstairs with the Jolida.

    So the Jolida stays in the Polkie family. I guess I owe it an apology.

    No problem. Sometimes audio gear is hard to part with and you need someone to pay a set amount to get you to release (pry away from you) it.
