Cheap Tube amp

If that amp is a Jolida JD502P amp that is a GREAT deal. I have the 502P and it is a very versatile amp. You can put KT88 6550 KT120 and even KT150 power tubes with no issues at all.

I applaud Jolida's determined efforts to have economically enabled so many to sample the tube experience. I'm betting you'll like it. Jolida is a fine, first taste of tubes.

I agree with all statement above. However $700 for a tube amp is not cheap. All you have to do is just enjoy the music instead of chasing the sound. I remember I enjoyed music a lot more with a $10 transistor radio than my sound system today.

I agree with Truman's comments. A Jolida 502B integrated was my first introduction to tubes. I had that unit for 10 years and very much enjoyed the music played through it. Don't know what current prices are like but the folks at the Maryland Hdqtrs, were very helpful and offered a nice upgrade for the amp at a very reasonable price. Might be a good idea if what you propose to buy is older. Out of curiosity, what sort of speakers are you planning to use it with? and what's their efficiency??
