Brought to you by the
company that started the ball rolling with Jolida
modifications!! Nobody knows Jolida products like
Response Audio. Nobody.
Looking to bring out the most your Jolida amp
has to offer? Be sure to check out our exclusive Bella
Extreme 3205 MKII modification.
DETAILS

Anybody can change tubes
and add a few things here and there. What you get with the
Signature upgrade 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 1 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 202, 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 our Bella
EXtreme 3205 Platinum that was debuted at RMAF07. Check out
the show reports

Please note that the Platinum Teflon capacitors are no
longer available.
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.

"After living with the Bella Extreme 3205
Signature for several months, I continue to be impressed
with its performance. It is a good value, and can satisfy
critical listeners. Because it can be used with a variety of
output tubes, it can easily be configured to the listener's
taste and system. What I find most exciting, however, is
that this level of performance can be achieved for such a
relatively reasonable sum..."

Signature Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier
Click here to read the complete review.
The Bella Extreme 3205 vacuum tube
power amplifier produces a level of performance that exceeds
the relatively modest cost of admission. I have listened to
it almost exclusively since its arrival and do not find
myself continually longing for something better. With high
reliability, I continue to be impressed with its
performance. It is a good value, and can satisfy critical
listeners. Can easily recommend it to both the newbie and
well-seasoned tube audio aficionado. — Nels Ferre
