Jolida Fx10

Sorry, I had it backwards. The stock 12AX7s are TS and the stock EL84s are EH in my new FX10. However, I had a short email conversation with Jolida and Michael said the stock tubes were all EH.
Don't have my system up and running yet, but I too will be playing files from a laptop and through a DAC (HRT Music Streamer II). The speakers will be open baffle speakers with high sensitivity drivers. I may also get a chance to directly compare the FX10 to the 302BRC which should be revealing. I'll report back here if that happens.

Any updates regarding the Jolida FX10? I'm curious about this integrated. Seems like a nice way to get into tubes without hurting the wallet.

I don't have anything to add about the amp itself beyond what I wrote earlier. I use it every day and really enjoy it, have had zero problems. The 6P14P-EV tubes and re-issue TungSol 12AX7's have become the default setup, very quiet and good sounding.

I did replace the Nuforce uDAC between the FX10 and the iMac with an Aune Mini DAC SE and that was a tremendous improvement for not much more money than the uDAC.

Thanks Sfar for the update and additional info. I need to check the specs of the speakers you are using with the FX10. I have a pair of KEF 103/3 speakers I was thinking of using with the FX10 and I don't know if it will be a good match.

Sorry, I can't advise you about a match with your KEF speakers. When I bought the FX10 I did try it in my living room both with a pair of Soliloquy SAT5 monitors and my Devore 8 floorstanders, neither of which is particularly sensitive. The FX10 sounded great with either pair in an 11 x 17 room but I didn't try to drive the speakers very hard.
