    Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...

    Yes, the new ones should have the DC servo trap 6Moons spoke of. They said something similar on their website a few weeks ago (including the fact that there was no audible sonic penalty resulting from this), but since they recently updated it, I dont see it anymore...

    In any case, I think the first batch is gonna sell out fast, so act quickly...

    Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...

    Can anyone already owning a Job 225 share what speaker termination works best with the plastic Job binding posts? Do normal size spades or bananas work best? The posts in the photos look cheap and my experience is that you have to be careful not to over tighten these kind of posts when using spade connectors or the plastic connectors can strip.

    Has anyone replaced the plastic binding posts with something a bit more substantial? Just checking to get prepared for the updated amp. Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum!

    Thank you for joining.

    The binding posts probably not the best but I never felt like they would snap off or anything. I do use a binding post wrench with fairly heavy duty spades. I have never been worried about the connection and being judicious with tightening everything down makes sense. I will try and find out who offers upgrades on these amps but I have to say the fact that they are so relatively inexpensive and perform superbly is enough for me. The only upgrade I will be doing is the fuse replacement.

    Joe
    Thanks for the info.
    "look cheap" That's what I thought about the binding post on the Job 224.
    Need to find Job 225 locally to check it out.

    Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...

    Hi Trung,

    Was there a Job 224? The new amps will need to be purchased from Job/Goldmund direct from Switzerland. Amazon was the intermediary and the shipping was overnight from Switzerland. Even at the new price of $1700, it's still a steal.

    Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...

    Joe,

    The first batch of about 50 units are almost ready and they are working on the website. Depending on the success of this product, the preamp will likely be the next development. I am sure from the demand surge, this will be a very successful global launch.

    The voltage will be set internally to correspond to the geography of the buyer, so as to avoid opening the case and doing it yourself. It will be switchable later if the amp is changing voltage area, ie US to Europe, for example.

    Hopefully, they will provide online info on how they have tweaked this version compared to the last.

    Anyway, get ready to act soooooon.

    Not really but I think you can run one channel in each amp to get a little more headroom. If you are not a headbanger, I think one amp will be fine, it is for me. I hope they will be coming out with more variations, maybe monos? Fingers crossed.

    Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...

    ....the minute I got the email from JOB ( thankful I'm working behind a computer) I went in and booked a unit.
    I have also today bought the unit Wisnon mentioned the DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core to use as a Pre-Amp, DAC, Room Correction, and EQ
    Bought the Dual Core( second hand) from a High-End fellow that now uses active filters in his speakers.


    I do look forward getting my hands on the JOB as wells as the DSPeaker, and connect them between my (tweaked) Sonos and my Anhthony Gallo Reference 3.5's

    OK. I've been lurking too. I ordered a JOB 225 at 8:30AM and already received an email from JOB asking for my phone number for FedEx shipping. I might as well begin posting to get to my 10 post minimum so I can share my impressions with some of you guys so here's post #2. I'm really looking forward to finding out what all the fuss is about.

    Should be fun

    Ouch Richard, you heart my European feelings...Nobody from JOB contacted me...assume you live in USA...if not I'm even hurting more ;-)
    I also am really keen to find out what the fuzz is about. / Nils

    I wonder how the new one and the old one would compare ... the added DC blocking circuit may degrade SQ a bit.

    I hope it's not noticeable or else I'm going to raid my friends house in the middle of the night and make a swap.

    Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...

    Please don't anyone feel like I got special treatment. JOB didn't have my phone # and when we ship FedEx in the US, they like to have the phone # for their drivers. If they had my #, I'm sure I'd be sitting here right now wondering is the JOB company real let alone this amplifier. Must be or there wouldn't be such impressive anticipation. I hope to join in with this group when I get a JOB.

    Thanks Norman for getting me on the pre-order list and to Joe for posting early this morning letting us all know that ordering has begun. If it wasn't for their help, I'd be $1,699 richer right now (and I'd still not have a JOB).

    LoL

    Its real alright. I have been there twice...5 mins drive from home. Last time was yesterday.

    The first time i even saw the amps being produced....by HAND!

    Next batch being planned and preamp development is likely in the works.

    Norman,

    Could you do all of us favor? If you are 5 minutes away, could you go over to their place soon and at least take some digital photos (to share on the forum) of the outside of the building and inside (as far as they'll let you go)? That would be real fun and help those of us across the big pond to better connect with Goldmund/JOB. I'd sure like to have more info about them. Goldmund is easier since there's plenty of info on the net. JOB, however, is still a big mystery to me. Kind of like a rouge group that is operating undercover.

    Richard,

    Prepare to be pleasantly surprised and, I think, blown away, with the Job 225.

    Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...

    Amps sold out!!!

    That is like in ONE DAY.



    I TOLD YOU GUYS.



    The good news..they are already planning batch number 2 and the next development will be a preamp. I hope to get more info if/when they invite me to do a Geneva local perspective audio piece for a webzine.

    Going direct is just a part of the story of why the price is affordable. The Goldmund equivalent amps have expensive chassis, ~60% of the BOM costs, more tech, mechanical/magnetic grounding and better isolation, as well as gucci parts like binding posts. Further, Goldmund pays for advertsing, JOB will be NOT have such a budget and will depend on word of mouth. Everything about JOB is cost conscious as it appeals to a different clientele. Job is trikle down Goldmund tech.

    Hi Richard,

    Goldmund is a rather private and discreet firm and I would not want to overstep boundaries. Bob can confirm this. I will rather wait for an official invitation to do a feature webzine article on them from a Geneva-local perspective. I hope you understand.

    Norman,

    Ask Antonio and see what he says, they might not have a problem with a few pics, it is a very nice facility.....and take a pic of the Ferrari dealership which is right across the street!

    Hi Nils

    You could try emailing the address of the Job employee in the ebay receipt and confirm the tracking number. I assume that your address is correct.

    Hi Nils,

    Don't worry. My amp should have been shipped Thursday with a Monday receipt. However, I had to send JOB my email address 3 times. They obviously have their hands full. As a result I lost a day and I got an email from them Friday as follows:

    Dear Richard,

    sorry if we missed it. It will be shipped out on Monday.

    Have a wonderful week end.

    JOB Electronics.

    I later received my FedEx tracking # and when I click on it, it shows no record for the tracking #. This is normal since the tracking # won't be active until the package enters the FedEx system. Right now, I'll bet the package is at Goldmund/JOB and will be picked up by FedEx on Monday. Once it's in the system, the tracking # will become active and you'll see it in the FedEx system. For now, I'll bet your package is sitting there with mine waiting for the weekend to be over.

    Waiting is part of the game, unfortunately

    Have fun,
    Richard

    Yes, I feel they are a bit overwhelmed!

    They are not setup for this kind of volume and I think you need to bear with them a bit.
