Jolida is likely the only audio manufacturer that identifies itself as a “communications company.” Such is the Maryland-based firm’s focus on improving our surroundings by transmitting music—and all its tones, textures, messages, emotions, and nuances—with supreme purity. Having designed tubes for decades, Jolida’s high-performance tube components belie the notion that all great-sounding vacuum-tube gear costs a fortune. JOLIDA Fusion 3502S Tube Integrated Amplifier Combining the best of Jolida’s JD 302CRC and JD 502CRC designs, Fusion 3502S dramatically alters audio performance for the better. With a flick of a switch, you can set this integrated amplifier to operate with 6550, KT88, KT120, KT150, or EL34 vacuum tubes. The EZ-Bias circuit is redesigned to deliver a bandwidth of 8Hz-130kHz. Fusion 3502S also includes ESA clarity coupling caps, high-speed diodes, and DC voltage to the preamplifier tubes. These improvements lower the noise floor and increase frequency, linearity, air, and dimensionality. And let’s not forget the sound. The moment you hear it, you’ll know Fusion 3502S’ clear, smooth, and three-dimensional signature is the kind only gleaned from tubes. All you need to do is pick the color and the tubes!
