I just mentioned elsewhere that I used a Jolida "factory upgraded" 502P for years and it sounded great...a powerful bargain amp which seemingly has been improved with the 3502. Great MD support...call 'em!
I've said for years that Jolida's only issues are that they're too inexpensive for many who feel "Mo bucks=mo bettah.", and remain, for the most part, un-reviewed by the audio press. And that's a shame as they're great sounding and extremely well designed things.
I talked to new CEO "Jolida Jarred" a few times when I was purchasing my Jolida 502P (he's the guy who recommended the upgrade for about 100 bucks), and am surprised they're changing the name to Black Ice (Maybe only some of the Jolida stuff...not sure) as that's a road hazard to be avoided when driving in wintery areas. I suppose it's better than "Pot Hole Audio", or "Unfortunate Moose Encounter Audio"...but interesting products anyway.
I'm a recent convert to Gold Lion KT77s having used all the other KTs...GL and Sovtek 88s, 120s, 150s, all sounding great in my old Jolida (and all used at some point my current amp), but in the little Dennis Had "SEP" amp I now use the GL 77s are amazingly good and are staying in there. I tried a pair of JJ KT77s and they sucked, but the Gold Lions are utterly different and stellar.
