I had one of these and it sounded great. Here is what I did: I got more bang for my buck by upgrading the stock 12AX7's and the 12AT7 (I think)tubes with amperex or mullards first. Then I upgraded the stock power tubes (El34's) with Mullard reissues (bigger soundstage but the reissues had reliability issues so I was using the stock powertubes while looking for a deal or real Mullards when I was forced to sell the amp. I used this amp with Spendor small floorstanding speakers and I found it very enjoyable and non-fatiguing to listen to.
Need advice for my Jolida 302BRC
Hi all,
I want to get the most bang for my back with some modifications for my Jolida 302b. Should I:
(a) replace the stock tubes
or
(b) do one of the many upgrades available (factor, UnderwoodHiFi, etc)
I've been quite happy with the amp. What I would like to get out of the upgrade is more pronounced base, and I guess a little better defined soundstage.
Any ideas would be VERY, VERY appreciated.
Thanks -- Marty
