Be on the lookout for a real nice little 10 watt Jolida tube amp.
Check this out. Jolida has a new tube amp that is not only eye candy but delivers as well. The base of this tube amp that's about 7 inches by 7 inches is black. It has an elegant glass top that displays all of the tubes. It's set up like any other tube amp that displays the tubes but this one has a very pleasant appeal to the eye. Beneath each tube is a blue LED that illuminates the underside of each individual tube. Not only that, all of the lights on the small front panel are blue as well. Well done in the appeal department, as it definitely catches the eye.
This amp is, or could be classified as a "hand held amp". It is part of a series of gear from the makers of Jolida that is designed to be compact, good looking, great sounding and affordable.
A DAC and a transport that will stack above or below this amp is also in production. A tuna will also be available as part of the whole kit. At this time, I will not disclose the price of the entire system [including speakers] but I will say that they are aiming for a very reasonable price.
It does not have an I-pod dock but you can plug in an MP3 or an I-pod player directly into the front of the amp. If memory serves, 2 different ohm rating speaker outputs and a couple of RCA inputs as well located on the back of this amp.
It is currently not on their website but look for it and matching gear within the next couple of months. Treitz3, reporting from Charlotte, NC. News channel Polk-'09. Have a good evening. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Do you know what the tube compliment is? Price range? I just got one of those re-badged Dared MP-5 by HCT essentially exactly like the iPod Fatman 13w x 2 hybrid tube amp. It's a nice little amp......drives my 5B's very well and sounds fantastic with Jazz, Blues, Acoustic, Vocals. It does lack some dynamics for pop/rock music. Already looking for something better than the stock Chinese tubes.
Will this Jolida be all tube or tube pre SS output? Sounds interesting

It's all tube integrated amp priced at $450.00 with remote. Comes in black, silver or dark blue. I think the signal/driver tubes are 12AT7's, the power tubes I couldn't make out.
The Doors on redbook thru a brand new pair of NOLA monitors sounded better than one might think it had a right to.Political Correctness'.........defined

It's cute! I wouldn't mind having one for an office rig."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

Cool looking little integrated.I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
-
Believe it or not, this pic does not do it justice.
The floor model we saw had a blue glow at the bottom of all of the tubes. Much better looking in person. It'll be neat to see the rest of the matching gear that's being designed right now.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music.

That would look great stacked on top of a DacMagic."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

On the very right labeled "input".

Anyone know how this stacks up sonically against the Jolida JD-102b?

OK, we are coming upon on 2 years since we heard this. There has GOT to be someone who has this or has heard this on our forum by now......
