Good afternoon all. I have developed a "hum" in one channel and suspect it may be somewhere in the internal power supply of one of my monoblocks (jolida music envoy.). I have scoured the internet trying to find schematics without success. Any suggestions? They sound beautiful when functioning...
I just bought a SJ-502A and trying to troubleshoot. The schematics I found don't exactly match up 100% and want to make sure the voltages are correct before shoving $500 + in tubes into it seeing how it is 20 years old or so. So at the moment B+ is 530v, -B is at -72v, +B1 is at 502v and +B2 is...
I'm new to the forum and looking for some tips to help troubleshooting.
I've had my Jolida 801 for about four years. It's worked great but today two of the tubes are not powering up. Ports V4 and V5.
I put a basic multimeter on to check each tube ,as per the manual bias guide, and no voltage...
I just acquired a Jolida JD 402 Tuner and I have searched here and on the interweb and can find almost nothing about this tuner. I contacted Jolida, now known as Black Ice, and they have nothing in archive (owners manual, service manual, etc..) available. Anyone out there have one of these that...
My Jolida SJ 302a tube amplifier blew a fuse last night. I thought 1channel sounded odd, and when I touched the speaker wire it blew the fuse.
I purchased this used years ago and it is always worked great. The fuse that was in it is a 6 amp. However, it looks like on the back of the amplifier it...
Inherited a pair of old Wharfedale W70s (from ca. 1961) that have been refurbished. I was thinking of driving them with tubes but I’m wary of the hazards of a really old amp. Stumbled on the Jolida while searching around online, and I’m intrigued. Anyone have opinions on this amp, and/or on...
Replaced my Schiit Freya that I really enjoyed but I needed a tape loop.

My current set up:

Hello fellow AKers this is my first post first off I like to say thank you for taking the time to read this thread I've been a long time reader first time poster so this is my problem currently I have Carver amazing Silver Speakers which are great speakers but I have to pull them 5 feet away...
Morning all,
As per the nice folks at UPS, my pair of new MA Silver 6 are scheduled to be delivered today. Once home, they will be quickly placed in my listening room, and hooked up to one of two integrateds:
- Jolida JD-302BRC, 60W, KT88 in the output stages
- Musical Fidelity a3.2
Like...
So as a relative newcomer to tubes, I was thrilled with the Jolida JD-302brc integrated I received in trade from another local enthusiast. Compared to every piece of SS gear I had ever owned, I could not believe the clarity of sound my system now delivered. Vocals had an immediacy I had never...
Hello all,
I recently came into a Jolida JD302BRC which I have enjoyed immensely. It came with three quads of output tubes: sets of Tung-Sol 6550, Elecro-Harmonix EL-34, and JJ EL-34.
So far I have tried the Tung Sol and the JJ. The JJ were inoffensive but undistinguished, while the Tung...
Morning All,
I currently own a Luxman R-1050 and truly enjoy the sound from it. However, I have also been presented with an opportunity to get my hands on a Jolida JD-302BRC, which although an integrated, has no phono input, and overall limited inputs.
So my thoughts were to use my R-1050 as...
I am upgrading my Jolida to either the 100 watt a side, or the Rogue 100 watt, both are around $2500 retail.
wondering if there is a noticeable difference between them.
I've heard that Rogue is American made, with American parts, and Jolida is somewhat Chinese parts?
But I read a review that...
My brother bought this 6 month old JoLida JD 202a EL34-based integrated tube amp last year for slightly over $400. This 40 WPC PP amp was what introduced him to the wonderful world of vacuum tube technology. Tube rolling consisted of replacing the stock Chinese tubes with NOS Sylvanias, and new...
