Amp/Preamp Asylum

I've had a lot better luck with Rogue Audio gear vs. Jolida.

74.214.43.216

Opus 104

Absolutely no problem with 5 or 6 Rogue components. Major problems with big Jolida tube integrated. I'd buy Rogue again. Not jolida.

What problems with Jolida? - deaf_j 10:38:11 08/15/08 (2)
I have had the 502B, 100 and JD9 for a few years now with no problems with any of them. I don't use the 100 much (don't play many CDs) and have recently started using a JLTi phono instead of the JD9 but still use the amp exclusively.

Just wondering what problems you've had.
Thanks,
Jerry

  With a top-of-the-line JD-1000RC 100 wpc integrated. Shortly after purchase (like a day or two), the amp would shut down on its own, sometimes while playing music (moderate volume, not being pushed at all) and a few times when just sitting, idling.
  I began swapping out output tubes and isolated the problem to one tube socket. After several calls to Jolida, they finally agreed to look at the amp, so I got one of my nephews to box up the 70-lb beast (I'm disabled) and we shipped it back to Jolida.
  Turned out to be a bad coupling cap on that socket. It should never have passed QC (if they had any).
  Its the first problem I had had with any new equipment in years and I had bought a lot of new equipment.
  I will say Jolida was cooperative throughout this. No problems there.

    I received a Jolida JD 100A cd player last Saturday. The very next day it started skipping and wouldn't play most of my disks. When I was boxing it back up, I heard a rattling sound coming from the player. I took the cover off and found a machine screw loose in the bottom of the chassis. Jolida was very sympathetic and promptly sent another cd player out to me. I will be receiving it tomorrow, but I am now wondering if I made the right move buying this particular cd player. It wasn't cheap either, going for 950.00.
    
    I can only hope I don't have problems in the future.
