Jolida.com vs Jolida.net

I'm very confused about the battle between the Jolida from China and the Jolida from Maryland. Which is the genuine article? How can I make sure I get the real thing if I buy an amplifier this winter?

I had read that and it seemed convincing, but I wasn't sure about putting my faith in the words of either of the two parties involved without an outside opinion.

Perhaps if you can google it, this has been discussed extensively already on the forum. You will probably get more helpful information from the older threads than trying to rehash the same subject.

I offer this as a helpful suggestion, not the typical "use the search function". When subjects have recently been discussed many times people, including myself, are reluctant to post the same info over and over again.

Thanks for the tip, H9. I'll do some research. Like I said, I have some time before I plan on buying so I'm in no rush!

The Jolida.net website did mention a fairly recent court case so I was wondering if the topic was more recent

There are many amp manufacturers in the world. I have dropped Jolida from my radar.

I don't need to read who said what or who is who to know that neither is getting my money.

I'm about to do the same. Any you'd recommend for someone just starting out with tubes?

Its kind of funny I get busy with a new truck and when I come back people are still bringing this whole thing up. I'm 100% for finding a deal but I would like to back some local for me guys (MD) and go with .com. I had a great experience last time when I went down there and had my 101/2 worked on.

That looks like a very nice piece for that price!

As far as Jolida.net/vs .com. We have kind of done that to death here. You're either for or against (search for it as Brock suggests). Either way I believe we all agree that the fight is not helping whomever wins it for now.

+1, I'm very happy with mine. Has triode and ultralinear modes, 4 inputs, headphone jack, remote control.

I wouldn't mind supporting one of them but in the end one is going to get killed off in a legal dispute and more than likely the one from MD is going to be it. The original company is in China not USA. And the original designs come from China not the USA. Sooner or later this will end bad for the boys up in MD.

United Home Audio did not have any Jolida products at the Capital Audio Fest.

That's pretty much where I stand. You can look up the previous posts on this. I visited Jolida.net in the flesh in the spring of 2010...that factory was the original manufacturer (about 45 minutes by Taxi from Shanghai), etc. Anyone interested can use the search function for more.
