Offered is „JD 502B Röhrenvollverstärker mit KT 88 Röhren“ by Jolida as second-hand device from the category „Tube-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7698295533 ends on 18.10.2026 at 06:38 o'clock.
This looks like a fair-to-good ask rather than a bargain. New pricing for the JD-502B was around $1,095, and a used unit at €535 lands comfortably below that, but I don’t have enough solid EUR used-market data here to call it a steal; in practice, it reads as sensible money for a working example in good shape.
What makes it worth a look is the classic Jolida recipe: a 60W per channel KT88/6550 integrated with enough drive for real speakers, a big, tactile presentation, and a reputation for musical midrange and decent bass grip for a tube amp. If the listing is complete and the amp has been recently biased or serviced, that €535 can be a very reasonable entry into a well-regarded tube integrated; just confirm tube life, any hum, and whether it’s set up for your mains voltage.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Jolida is a tube-audio brand with roots that go back to 1983, when Mike and Hansen started Jolida Inc. in Maryland as a tube-distribution company. The name became associated with a long-running U.S. hi-fi presence, though the brand’s later history is complicated by different corporate entities and regional ownership changes.
Its best-known products are vacuum-tube and hybrid amplifiers, especially integrated amps and related source components. Over time, Jolida has also been associated with preamps and other classic two-channel gear, but it is not primarily known as a speaker, turntable, headphone, DAC, or cable brand. The company’s identity has stayed closest to affordable tube electronics for music-focused listeners.
In the market, Jolida has generally sat in the mid-priced to upper-mid tier, with a strong following among listeners who want the warmth, character, and hands-on appeal of tubes without moving into true luxury pricing. It has also developed a somewhat cult-like reputation among vintage and value-oriented audiophiles, where musicality and tweakability matter more than brand prestige.
