Jolida JD-402 Tube Tuners


Does anyone have any experience with these? I want to buy one, but would like some feedback first?

Thanks,

I’m getting one later today without the remote, but I basically listen to 2 stations in Philadelphia anyway and they are right next to each other.  I’ll post my impressions later.  Looking forward to hearing it :)
Set it up and it sounds very nice & picks up stations cleanly.  AM doesn’t pick up anything, even with an antenna.  I’ll try a different AM antenna.  The FM antenna is just a thin wire too.  I have no remote so I cannot store or recall stations.  I do not have the weird displays that others have commented they had, also mine does not have any kind of signal strength meter, nor do I have the ability to listen in stereo or mono. 
Except the quality isn’t poor, it’s built like a brick blank house and weighs like one too, and it’s probably the best sounding digital tuner I’ve heard because of the tubes - and I’ve owned a lot of good tuners.  (Free free to see “my tuner evolution” to see my tuner past.  I now own a 220V Meridian 504 because I’m moving overseas in a few months.  Highly ranked on the fmtunerinfo site, in actuality not sure it’s any better sounding, only different.
Reception is not always a given with tuners, it all depends on your antenna and where you are located, but tuner people already know this and are willing to take that chance.
