Jolida Tube Amp 
Signature & Platinum Series Upgrades
JD302A/B-RC, JD502A/B-RC

Brought to you by the company that started the ball rolling with Jolida modifications!! Nobody knows Jolida products like Response Audio

Want your Jolida JD801 Modified? We got you covered.
DETAILS


Anybody can change tubes and add a few things here and there. What you get with the Signature/Platinum Modification is basically a complete rebuild using only the best internal components based on critical evaluation and testing. Plus, no matter how old your unit is, we offer a full 5 year warranty on our work.

Why spend your hard earned money on a new amp that could set you back thousands of $$$$. Transform your Jolida 302, 502 or 801 "A" or "B" Series amplifier into something that will compete with many of today's high dollar pieces for a fraction of their cost. You will think you just purchased a brand new amp and still have money left over for further system upgrades.

When your unit arrives at our facility, it is first tested to assure it is functioning properly before we continue on to remove ALL internal components. When we are finished with our upgrade, the only remaining original parts on your amplifier is the transformers.

The reviews and customer feedback says it all. Check out our Feedback Pages as well as the review of our Bella EXtreme 3205 amplifier at EnjoyTheMusic.com. If you have your 302/502 upgraded with the Signature Modifications, you will end up with the same unit as reviewed.

The Platinum upgrade brings you to the same level as out Bella EXtreme 3205 Platinum that was debuted at RMAF07. Check out the show reports HERE

We now incorporate some new modifications to the power supply on the 302, 502, and 801. What this means for the end product is much better dynamics, headroom and control in the lower frequencies providing a fuller presentation.
