Simple question. Which amp sounds the best?

A) Jolida 1501RC (Hybrid)
B) Jolida 102B With Mods* (Tube)
C) Jolida 301 (Hybrid)
D) Jolida 202A (Tube)

*Mods: This is the newest JD102B that has the transformer cover added for a smart handsome look. We have gone inside and upgraded all the signal path capacitors to audiophile grade pieces. (6 in all) A balance bypass modification is included to avoid running the signal through the cheap chinese switch. Balance is unnecessary on these amps anyway. The chassis is damped and shielded with StarrDamp CS, and the unit comes with 4 KTS iso damp discs for under the feet of the amp. This is for vibration isolation. All the preamp tubes and driver tubes are upgraded to Russian ElectroHarmonix for a more open transparent sound, and the 4 EL84's are also EH of Russia.
