SOLD...
I'm offering up a factory modded Jolida JD102CRC integrated tubed amp, which is significantly better than the stock version that currently sells for $875. The amp is about a year old, and is in excellent cosmetic condition, and functions (and sounds) perfectly. Any blemishes you see in the picks are only photo artifacts or dust. I don't see any scratches, dents, or other defects on the amp.
It is very easy to bias, has excellent iron, and it sounds wonderful with the provided tubes (two quads of EL-84s, and the three input tubes). It sounds even better with a quad of Genalex Gold Lion EL-84s (which I don't have anymore). I am most amazed at how extremely quiet it sounds (with respect to noise and hum) with my 98db speakers (Tekton Lores, also for sale in anther ad). This is a very musical amp that really surprised me with it's audio quality. This is coming from a guy who is used to SET amps! It's an unbelievable value, and would be right at home whether it's in your main system or in a secondary system.
I have unexpected bills to pay off from a hospital visit back in September, which is the only reason I am selling the amp.
The factory mods added over $300 to the cost:
The mod consisted of upgrading the signal path by incorporating 6 Jupiter Beeswax capacitors, and premium Takman Japanese resistors.
