I did a quick check and there seems to be a lot of Jolida for sale on Audiogon. My guess would be that people are starting with Jolida gear and then upgrading to other gear.
I suggest that you listen to your Jolida for a while and decide if you really like tube sound. If you do but aren't quite satisfied with the Jolida sound, rather than spending money on the Jolida, I would upgrade to a better amp.
I like the Primaluna gear. It has an autobias feature which saves you the trouble of wondering if the output tubes are properly biased and ensures that you're always getting the best sound out of your tubes. There are many reviews and threads on the Primaluna amps and generally people like them.
So my advice is listen, read and then decide on your next move.
There are trusted tube dealers who you will probably read about in your studies who can advise you on better tubes at a reasonable price. Tubes can have a pretty significant effect on the sound you get. Good luck!
