Jolida Fusion 3502s vs. Jolida Fusion 801

[Guppy]

Has anyone compared the Jolida Fusion 3502s with the Jolida Fusion 801s? Also any comments on either of these components would be appreciated including which upgrades yielded the greatest sonic improvements. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum Guppy, thank you for joining.

I had the 3502s but am not familiar with the 801. I’ll have to check it out. My brother bought my 3502s and loves it. I put KT150s in before he took it. It’s great.

Looks nice. I don’t understand all the differences.

Thanks Joe, I joined some time ago, but this is my first post. I am also curious how the Fusion 3502s and 801s compare to the JD 1000 RCs which are discontinued and being offered at reduced prices by Underwood Wally and others on Audiogon. Did your Fusion 3502s's have any upgrades?

I was under the impression that the 3502s had a Clarity cap upgrade and maybe something else. I got mine from Music Direct when they had a sale. I’m pretty sure Underwood can pretty much do what you want upgrade wise. If you plan on keeping the amp, then go for it. You don’t get that money back on resale. You might want to talk to Bob at the link above. He seems like a straight shooter and willing to help. He may have some insight on what’s best. I found him after my purchase.
