why are jolidas so cheap?


Hi
I am not sure if jolidas are good amps or not. I am looking for a good integrated used within $600 and a lot of the jolidas are within that price range.
I would like an extremely clean amp 50wpc?
any comments?

Low end tubes provide no where near the sound of even mid range solid state. Tube are inherently troubled with high distortion, and it takes good design topology and high quality components to combat this phenominon.

Anthem makes wonderful, high quality but very reasonable tube gear. Personally I would look here instead of Jolida.

You should compare any tube integrated in your price range to the Bryston or Audio refinement - you may be suprised. Densen and Primare also make good integrated amps.

Just my opinon.
Just an afterthought, but there have been many Classe' CAP-80 on this site go for around $700 - It will, hands down, beat any tube equipment up to, and many times over $1000.
