Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping


Having been told by the nice people at Jolida that the 502 transformer can handle the KT120's "filament requirements", I wondered if any Jolida-philes out there have tried them in either the 502BRC integrated or 502P (what I have) power amp, as they're apparently similar circuits. I'm tired of reading about how groovy the KT120 is and plan to try 'em eventually just to stop the madness and have some extra tubes around.

Wolf,

I have a Jolida 801. I like it well enough but having to turn the amp over to bias the tubes is a pain in the arse. Thinking about maybe going with the 502. I lose 10 watts (70wpc in the 801 vs. 60wpc) but my speakers are efficient enough that I probably won't see too much difference. I gain a Remote, which purists may condemn, but hey, I am getting older, and HT pass-thru.

Will you describe what mods Jolida MD actually performed? I was looking at Underwood Wally but would like to have some options. Thanks.
