One of my Tubes on the Jolida 301A flickers
Switchback..Where does the CJ pre-amp connect to ? I'm real happy with the sound I got out of the preamp tube upgrade. There is a major improvement over the stock Chinese preamp tubes. I didn't even need to burn in the preamp tubes to hear the imp...

Cool.I don't know if you tried different preamp tubes in your amp but upgrading the preamp tubes was the first thing I did. I upgraded the 12AX7A tubes to JJ ECC8003 goldand the 12AT7 to Jan Phillips 12AT7WC. The results are incredible! The upgra...

switchback, did a bias adjustment correct the problem ? 
Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps?
I am a systems engineer. I work on my own stuff.I have an oscilloscope, j202 schematic, and my sons claim I have "mad soldering skills".. I bought this as a decent platform to build upon and tweek. I was amazed that all I really needed to do was u... 
Jolida 102B paired with Boston Acoustics A200???
Energy CB-20 sounds really sweet with Jolida too! 97db sensitivity means 25wpc is actually loud!

Uhm.. the guy that said jolida = trash .. you obviously only used the cheap $3.00 stock tubes. I upgraded with JJECC8003s gold tubes for the preamp. USA JAN Phillips 12AT7WC for the drivers and let the stock EL34 B output tubes age a little. It so... 
Does anyone here own a Jolida 202/302/502 amp
I am using JJ8803s Gold in the place of the stock 12AX7Aand a Jan Phillips 12AT7WC in place of the stock drivers.Hum is gone. The flash from the right channel 12at7 is gone.I paid $85.00 including shipping for this upgrade, well worth it. For a ha...

Check your bias! I bet the bias is off. What you mention about the tube flickering and distortion is what happens when you install new different final output tubes. get a digital multimeter, a small flat head insulated screwdriver and adust the bi... 
Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier?
electrolytic caps have a limited life span. No way around it.500k hours I think. Average use 25 years or more. Some caps can last up to 50years. It depends on the environment too. My 26 year old kenwood sounds like I am listening to a low bitrate ...

Thanks for the reply. I should have waited because the tubes are starting to sound great.After 70hrs of using the amp the sound improved big time! Even the soundstage opened up! While I was working out I cranked up some grunge from The Todies and ...

btw jolida also shipped me a replacement tube sine a 12ax7a was defective. That's where the 60hz hum was coming from. I think the filament was damaged.

Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps?
I own a Jolida 202s connected to a pair of energy cb20 speakers. To be honest my Miniwatt n3 sounds richer and fuller when connected to the same speakers. I am running a sweet set of nos tubes in the n3.maybe the Chinese tubes take a long time to ... 
Do I need BOTH amp and pre to be sonic holography?
get yourself a good tube amp.sonic holography is just another phrase for sound stage
