    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    Hello,

    Thank Joe & all of you for your comments on this JOB INTegrated. I have read all your posts & already placed an order which will be shipped next Monday as informed by the JOB team.

    The Job INT amp is going to drive my Tekton Design Pendragon pair & I will report back when the Job INTegrated amp arrives.

    Happy Holiday with all the Best wishes.

    Tran

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    ... anyone with this JOB INT: what powercord are you using (something from your "collection", or purchased specifically for the JOB)?

    I'm using PS Audio X-Stream Statement SC and luv it... using an older Pioneer Elite DV37 with optical cable as a transport (to take advantge of the DAC in the JOB) and it sounds sweet into my late 1990's Gershman Avant Garde RX-20's...

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    Good morning dear all,

    I plan to get a INT but have a question on its output stage, because i am using a vintage Polkaudio SDA SRS which requires a 'common-grounded amplifier'..do you know if INT is a common grounded amp? i.e. its speaker -ve terminal on both channels are interconnected and grounded? thx

    I absolutely love my Job INTegrated.

    I have no idea about your question. I'd contact them directly at the following email address:

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    Anyone heard the current and the original Job INTegrated together?

    In the 6moons review of the Goldmund Telos 560 Next Gen I saw not only the same mainboard is used as in the new Job INTegrated but also the same dac-board and input-board. So the sound of the new Job INTegrated might be even better than before.

    Unfortunately Job tells me the original INTegrated can't be updated.

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    I am new here and about to order the INTegrated. My only slight hesitation in not having any results of what the current production analogue sound is like. Job have confirmed to me that the analogue input is no longer digitally processed.

    Does anyone run a phono stage into the analogue inputs? If so, what is the sound like when compared with the digital input?

    Hi Jaap,

    I am on a couple days off and finally took the chance to swing by Goldmund's "new" HQ (its now 2 years old).

    While there I chatted for 15 mins with my usual contacts. Tore is in charge of the Integrated and I posed him your questions.Note I have never heard old or new Integrated and could not even get a loaner as they are flying off the shelves. (I also did a bit of lobbying for the 250 monoblocs and while they did not commit, in 2019 they are thinking of new products to refresh the JOB line. Perhaps a dual mono Integrated with Job 250 type power in a big chassis? Who knows?

    Anyway, cutting to the chase, the main updates to the new Integrated are the straight analog pass thru design (purist approach, so Analog domain improved), no more conversion to digital as an intermediary. Indeed the whole redesign of the Integrated is to updated USB/DSD handing which is now 256x capable and many of the other changes are as a result of that. Overall easier to handle with possibly slightly better SQ.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you for your efforts. Maybe this gives a rest to the itch. I'll try to wait for the 2019 news.

    That would be awesome. I had asked for that exactly in their recent Facebook feedback question.

    Thanks Norman. That is really interesting. Does that mean the new DSD is now native and not DoP?
    If so that would be really nice as I really am not a fan of the DoP method with it's clicks and pops.

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    Most welcome.

    Yes, they read FB and take suggestions seriously from customers.

    That Super Integrated (dual mono) idea would be a killer if it comes in at around $3500.

    I didn't ask any details about DSD native of DoP, so not sure, but Tore did say the DSD is now be better specced.

    iFI audio claims that they have improved their DoP to such a point that it equals native in terms of processing load and SQ...no more clicks.

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    Hi, I’m looking for an integrated amp (preferably with DAC) and have come across the JOB INTegrated which maybtick my boxes.
    Does anybody have any experience with Focal Electra 1008be speakers with the JOB, or focal in general?
    My room is 4x5m, open to the dining to the right.
    I have to listen at low volume after my daughter goes to bed, so low volume listening is important. Right bass is important too.
    Budget is $2000. I currently use a Nuprime IDA 8, which is a lovely unit but feel the clarity lacks at low listening levels, and to my mind, doesn’t control the bass as well as I’d like when turning the volume up (could be partly a room issue, but a cheaper amp faired better with bass but was sibilant, a Cambridge Audio offering).

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    The Job integrated is wonderful. I have and still use mine. For what you get it’s a steal. It’s clean, clear, a little sweet, very open and three dimensional, superb at low volume because it’s dead quiet, fast and has nice bass. As long as the speaker impedance doesn’t drop much below 3 ohms, you will be fine.

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    You should be good to go then. I love all the Job gear. I’m hoping new monos come out eventually. Some users have moved on but if you stay within its power envelope, it will reward you with great music.

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    I'm one of those who have "moved on", but I would just like to point out it had absolutely nothing to do with the Job's. I had the 250 monos and I loved them! I even changed my mind when I had a buyer for them as I couldn't let go of them, but in the end I had to. This was more a decision of scaling down to less boxes and cables and going for an integrated solution instead. My only "criticism" of the Jobs are the binding posts which feels a bit cheap, but once everything is connected and music is playing it is easily forgotten about. Highly recommended!

    My speakers have a similar spec and sound great with the JOB INT.
    I think you should be in a great shape with the Focal Electra 1008be

    Quite frankly the INT will embarrass many amps ... it's really that good.

    Bonus Tip:
    Order some Duelund DCA16GA Tin plated hookup wire from PartsConnexion as speaker cable.
    Don't bother getting them terminated. Just connect them bare wire and enjoy.
    The Duelund does have a break in time period of about 200 hrs before it sounds best

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    Just recently I added Western Electric cable to Job INT

    WE 16 GA speaker wire + WE 18 GA based power cord.

    For those familiar with Jeff Day's blog & Western Electric cable - I was very keen on trying the WE cables in my setup but WE 16GA cable has been pretty scarce. Just recently, I managed to get a power cord based on the WE 18 GA cable recipe and WE 16 GA speaker cable.

    I first added the WE power cord in my setup. Something changed but it took me a while to figure out that it opened up the high frequency region giving it a sense of ease. While this was a subtle change it was enough to peek my interest further. Adding the WE16GA speaker cable was much more dramatic change in my setup. It instantly opened up the lower frequencies providing weight and foundation to the music. In comparison the Duelund cable was more centred on the mids and highs. The effect is almost like adding a little bit of sub woofer help.

    I really like what the WE cable has done for my setup. Vintage tone mixed with ultra fast Swiss circuits is a very nice sound!

    Nikhil, where did you acquire the WE cables or did you purchase the Dueland equivalent?

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    The cable I have was sourced from Japan.

    eBay seller tajacobs (Jake) is a reliable source.
    His cable though is 90s "vintage" but sounds great.

    Just remember to order enough length of cable pairs. The cables from Jake come terminated with the original switchboard connectors. Just strip those off and use them bare wire.

    I have a pal who was never satisfied with his Duos till he used the Job 225. Makes no sense, but the 225 improved the bass module integration, even though the bass module is ACTIVE. Head scratcher.

    AG loves JOB.

    Me too. There's no "upgrade" offered. Was still thinking of ordering another just for that reason but I might just wait.

    I was using the INT with an external DAC for a while. It works great but IC cable selection is key. I found the Belden 8402 to work really well. But yes it is an interesting thing to see if the straight analog input improves the sound. It also brings up the point of how much of a role the Alize chip plays in the sound of the INT. To me one of the best features of the INT is the tight integration of DAC + amp that removes the need for additional cables.

    Ever since I have had the INT, I listen to all kinds of sources - AppleTV, Youtube, Soundcloud, TuneIn Radio - and they sound pretty good thanks to the Alize chip IMO. Of course DSD still sounds great when you send it down the wire but still it's interesting to see if bypassing the ADC would help improve sound from average quality sources.

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    My JobIntegrated has stopped outputting to the left channel. It's just about two years old, and the warranty is for only one year, so I'm wondering if anyone has had similar issues, and if so, how did you fix it. I assume there are some checks I can make (it's the left channel), but I don't have a schematic, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards,

    Don, I’m sorry to hear you’ve encountered an issue with your Job. Perhaps, fellow owners can chime in but most of all, I hope Job/Goldmund is able to take care of you.

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    I looked around inside for a fuse for each channel, and apparently they don't exist. So, since I'm out of warranty, I took it to a technician and he will see if he can fix it. If not, guess the only option is to send it back to Switzerland. Ugh!

    Don,

    I am not at my computer right now but I can possibly give you the names of 2 people that may be able to help you before you send if off to the home country.

    I will respond late tonight. Fingers crossed.

    There was a remark in one article, not sure which one (6moons I think), that INT is what it is because of how each of its internal stages is combined together. Not too much benefit in using this one as anything else than integrated amp, too little to gain. Can anyone confirm?

    Not sure what you are saying. Int 2 has direct analog inputs that are not digitized before amplifying...so is a leg up from Int 1.

    Short answer: Yes.

    The INT does not have a pre out so it can only be used as an integrated amp i.e. there is no other way to use it. But if you mean the 6 moons article, the context there was a comparison with the Job 225 + Job Pre (or any other Preamp). In comparison, the INT combines amp and preamp plus a DAC section. So seamless integration of three components in one box is the calling card of the INT.

    In my case it has replaced all the boxes in my listening setup. I did try using an external DAC for some time but direct connection via USB provides all the benefits of the speed and clarity of the Job circuit. Anything else in between and it seems to take away from the sound signature.

    Hi guys,

    I hope to seek some advises as I have recently bought a preowned Job Integrated V2 amp for my Dynaudio Special 40. However, the sound is quite bright and sharp to my ears. Is it due to a mismatch between the amp and speakers? Should I change my cables to tame the brightness?

    Welcome to the forum, Thank you for joining.

    I’ve never experienced any Job being sharp or bright. In fact, I think Job is usually a little sweet on top or at least neutral and very musical.

    Sorry for my ignorance but why is the Gungnir connected to the Job?

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    If he has the Job Integrated version where the analog inputs are now truly analog then connecting the Gungnir is not an issue. Based on the measured low sensitivity and impedance of the Special Forty's the pairing with the Job based on my experience with the 225 wouldn't have been my first choice. With that said you might be able to tone it down a bit with the Dueland cables.

    Re: The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

    But why getting an integrated with Dac if the existing Dac will be used anyway?
    The only reason I could think of would be that he got it for a very "good" price.
