    Fully Balanced Tube Preamplifier

  • Product Feature Introduction

    Pure · Balanced · Powerful Drive Capability
    The JOLIDA JD20 Fully Balanced Tube Preamplifier is a flagship preamplifier distinguished by transparency, speed, detail density, and driving capability.

    The appearance features a CNC-machined solid aluminum alloy front panel, presenting a minimalist, stable, and premium visual style. Combined with dual circular touch-screen display interfaces, it embodies a pure and modern Hi-End design language.

    Its sonic performance is exceptionally transparent and pure, with clear imaging and natural dynamics. It not only retains the musical warmth characteristic of vacuum tube equipment, but also delivers the speed, resolution, and low-distortion advantages typically associated with solid-state amplifiers.

    At the core of the JD20 are four 6922EH dual-triode vacuum tubes operating in a fully analog and fully symmetrical amplification architecture, together with an ultra-low-noise electronically regulated power supply, ensuring signal transmission under an extremely low-noise background.

    The unique precision fully symmetrical R2R resistive volume controller enables the JD20 to achieve extremely low sonic coloration while supporting ±10 levels of fine adjustment, allowing the preamplifier to reach professional monitoring standards in both precise level control and soundstage positioning.

    The JD20 provides as many as eight inputs and six outputs, supporting bypass mode and balanced high-frequency rebalancing technology. It is also equipped with 12V trigger interfaces for synchronized power-on operation. It is suitable for multi-source systems, active crossover architectures, multi-power-amplifier systems, and other high-end audio configurations.

    The JD20 is not only a high-performance preamplifier but also the control center of an entire audio system, providing high-standard signal management and outstanding sonic performance for audiophiles, studio monitoring applications, and large-scale multi-channel audio systems.
