Newbie wants tube recommendations


I have always had some form of a stereo since I was a kid. About 5 years ago I started a home theater system with an Onkyo HT receiver and some Polk book shelf speakers. I then bought some Axiom speakers. I then got a Parasound HT amp. The Parasound amp is rated at 220w at 8 ohms and 300w at 4 ohms. I am still using the Onkyo as a pre/pro.

Well about 2 weeks ago, I bought a pair of Legacy Audio Classics. The classics sound way better than the Axioms ever could. Now I kind of have the bug for trying some tubes. Never have and just wanted to see if I like the sound. I am looking for recommendations for something that doesn't break the bank, but gives me a feel for tubes. Any suggestions?

Shame Jolida is not a hi end product. You have bought made in China mid fi. Sorry to be so blunt.
restock, i would not comment on something I have not heard. I heard some just the other day at a local dealer. It is an ok product and is very good to upper Mid-Fi. Its not in the same class as CJ,Rouge,Audio Aero, Unison.
Mind you for 770.0o he got what he paid for. I just think there are many better choices than Jolida. Reliabilty was awfull and has gotten better, but its still stuffed with cheap Chineese passive parts. I am a Made in North America, USA and Canada guy. Anyone can get stuff made in China cheaply .
