Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

Greetings All,
I am considering replacing my vintage yamaha C-4/M-4 with a Jolida 102B. My yamahas are fully functional but they are vintage and fussy. Sometimes you have to flip a switch a couple times for it to fully engage etc... They sound wonderful but I am ready for something more modern. Also they power a pair of great KLH 5s which I read are well suited for tubes. I'm not necessarily looking for an upgrade, I've just been playing with vintage gear for about 10 years now and I'm ready for something modern. But I certainly wouldn't want a downgrade.
I'm considering the Jolida because it is affordable and well regarded. It seems low risk for investigating tubes. I've read review after review saying it punches above it's weight, but the yamaha's are really great. I'm not sure if the Jolida punches that high.
So, please weigh in if you have any thoughts on the matter.
I'm going to post this in vintage too so sorry for the double post.
Thanks!
Nate
