Reliablity of Jolida equipment


I understand this is probably a "thread" that has been asked before...but as a working class stiff with tight funds...is the so-called tube "glow" worth it in terms of tube replacements,biasing,etc...at the $500 used level...would a solid state amp...in terms of low maintenance...be the better option...I am not one for "modifying" or tweaking equipment...I just want decent sound...

Someone told me: you get what you are paying for, that's how it is, but there are exceptions. I owned Jolida 302B for 2weeks. There were rattling parts inside when I got it, I opened it up and found loose nuts rolling over the case inside, no big deal.I was listening, adjusting bias, changing tubes, and doing like this again and again.
Now I have BVaudio A30S and it looks like I will stick with this unit for a long time.
