And from the folks at JOLIDA :

The Design Challenge: Build a stereo tube amplifier with a sound quality that equals or exceeds the best in high end audio equipment. Included were two major criteria, make sure designs are reliable and can be sold at value prices. The Engineering Result: An integrated stereo tube amplifier that can be hooked up directly to a DAC or CD player and two speakers. The Sound: High end audio tube performance at a value price.

Here are three basic criteria to the Jolida’s Design Objectives.

1. The First Criteria; Sound Quality that can be perceived. We test to make certain our designs have low noise, clarity without sacrificing smoothness, weight in the midrange, appropriate dynamics, three dimensionality, wide vertical and horizontal soundstage and transparency. In addition, volume related characteristics are important to us. We look for clarity and proportion at extremely low volumes, bloom at midlevel volumes and smoothness, dynamics and lack of distortion at high volumes.

2. The Second Criteria: Value. The products we build and design provide top performance in its price category as well as useful features.

3. The Third Criteria: Reliability. We have a saying in the factory,” Don’t scare the straights”. If tube equipment were perceived as twitchy or unreliable, first time buyers would never try tube performance equipment again. Jolida builds reliability into the design. For example, We use an ultra linear design which not only improves sound at low volumes, but helps the amplifier to run cooler and at lower currents which improves long life and operating reliability. We series the tubes back to the fuse and to the digital protection circuit, so if a vacuum tube short circuits, all that is lost is a replaceable fuse or the unit goes into standby. All our units use high quality parts for sound and reliability. Every unit is tested both for physical quality and electronic stability for a minimum of 48 hours prior to being shipped.
