A very sweet sounding amp from EL84 valves in push pull. Power output is around 20wpc. Small in size, 12 inch wide by 8 inch deep by 5 inch high.
With a circuit design based on early 1960s American tube amplifiers, the Jolida 102CRC is a blast from the past. Small in stature, but not in performance, the JD102CRC has a big heart, delivering a surprising amount of power even into difficult loads.
Input selector switch is rough thus price of £300.
Cash on collection and demonstration.
Complete with original box and manual.
Reason for sale, upgraded to Luxman 505.
Extract from a review: With four inputs and both a 4 Ohm and 8 Ohm taps, the JD102B is quite flexible. We've used the JD102CRC on efficient tower speakers, inefficient bookshelf speakers and everything in between with great results. The elegant understated appearance works well with virtually any system and the small form factor makes the JD102CRC a great alternative to solid state or digital mini amps. Besides, the golden glow of those seven tubes will warm your heart, but not your room!
