Rather than add to the economy threads, I figured I would get things back to audio for a while.

Here is a quick shot of a Reference Jolida 801 that has been in use in the showroom for several years now. This is a full V-Cap Reference version. The tubes are Cryo Treated Valve Art KT88s that have probably 3000+ hours on them. It has been converted into a straight power amp. The face is 1/2" Elm Burl and the transformer cover top plates have been sprayed with satin black epoxy.

Below the amp are two early prototype Musica Bella Purity preamps. The bottom piece is still in use in our showroom and currenty driving the 801 as can be seen in the picture while the top unit is a full remote unit with HT Bybass which is going out this Monday to an Audio Circle member.

Sorry about the picture quality.

The amp looks awesome especially the Elm Burl

Any way to get a faceplate in that or similar for my 302b?

Is this for sale?
Price?

Is this for sale? Price?

Hmmm..... I would consider selling it but have to mount the transformer cover top plates to the cylinders.

 I would want $1,500 as it also has Bybee purifiers in it as well. We sold a good number of these at $2,800. This is the version just prior to the LED bias.

 Sure, there are a few out there now.  What I have available right now is Elm Burl, Walnut Burl and Waterfall Bubinga.
 By the way, the 801 up top is Elm Burl wood veneer over Black Walnut.
