Jolida 1501 RC

i was just in the market for an integrated amp myself.
i heard the 30 watt hybrid from jolida , and was so impressed with it i had to hear the 1501 rc. my dealer
got one is a few weeks later, and i was somewhat disappointed. its not that it was bad, just was as impressed as i was with the smaller one. the smaller one had more of the tube sound than the 1501. the build quality
appeared excellent for the price i must add though.
(and its a heavy sucker too)
i do have to tell you, the same day i heard the 1501rc, i also heard the asl 1003dt. from the first track i heard
i knew the was the amp i wanted, and i took it home.
its all tubes, and roughly the same price as the 1501.
hope this helped you out .
trust your ears, not the reviewers, and you'll be rewarded.

I owned the 1701 and was unimpressed. I felt there was a lack of bass and the soundstage was unfocused. I have a Primare A10 that I would recommend as a mid-price integrated. There is a dealer on audiogon selling them new for $795 - good price.

Thanks! Was hoping to get thoughts from owners or people who had auditioned so your input is appreciated.
