The inspiration for my recent foray into tube hifi (plenty of tube guitar amp experience prior to this obsession) was partly inspired by hearing a Primaluna integrated a friend was raving about and a VTL I liked. Consequently I bought neither and instead bought a new Jolida JD502P amp with the "factory" upgrade mods, and stuck KT120s in it. It's inexpensive, sounds beautiful (I use a SS pre), and the "ez bias" works perfectly. There are zero "official" reviews of the thing and no advertising. Amazing. I think the Primalunas are beautifully made, but based on my informal comparison of a at least a few tube amps, I think this Jolida is a giant killer, so to speak.

Are the rave reviews from the rags correct on this brand ? I see what seems like alot of only a few month old pieces for sale here often. Anyone own any ? What are your impressions ?
