Can anyone tell me how my amp compares?


I currently run a Jolida 302b modified by Hot Rod Audio Mods and I use 6550s in it. My question is how does it compare to other integrated amps that use 6550s:
Rogue
Mystere
Prima Luna
Ayon
Vincent
Cayan

The reason for the question is I'm wondering if I should upgrade?

Thanks,
Tom

The 302b and the 502 Jolida are the same amps. The circuit and transformers are the same. It can be changed to use KT-88's or EL-34's by changing four resistors in the bias network. My 502 run's both KT-88's and EL-34's. You may or may not like the KT-88's better. I do because I like the extra power with my Vandersteen's. There is a lot of debate on which tube sounds better. Hope that helps. By the way I wouldn't sell it. I love mine since I did all the mods.
If it sounds good why waste your money? Listen to some other amps, then make a decesion. It will also depend on the other components and speakers you are using. Take you time and try to audition some other items first. Good luck.
I looked at your systems listed and no mention of a Jolida? Hard to give advice on a good upgrade if your system isn't listed.
