Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
Thank You Richard your words make me much calmer, you are correct, the tracking number can be issued but as long as the driver has not picked it up and registered in the system it is not traceable ...will sit tight until Monday afternoon.
Wisnon....Thanks as usual but will do as above so you don't strain your relationship with Goldmund/ JOB in vain

Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
An update. I just checked my tracking # that has been dormant since last Friday. It showed up about 2 hours ago in the FedEx system. The screen finally stated that shipment information has been sent to FedEx and that estimated delivery here in the US is this coming Tuesday 10/15 at 10:30AM. Their shipping sure is fast once the package enters the system. So Nils, check your FedEx tracking # again and see if you have any progress.
Joe, you will be one of the first to listen to the new amp and I'm sure you will share with us what the new amp is like. I'm really curious how this amp will stack up to a very well built (the best connectors, wire, etc) Hypex NCore400 pair of monoblocs that I own. I will be comparing the JOB versus the NCore's (already running in my system) when I can and will post my findings.
I've been using all balanced equipment since the NCore is a balanced amp. I noticed that BMC recommends a balanced only connection for their new PureDAC. So here we go, the JOB is unbalanced and those of you who have been collecting high end balanced cables and gear (like me and a few friends) and have been using balanced DAC's like the Auralic Vega (like me and a few friends) are kind of starting over with the JOB amp. I sure hope it is worth it. Thankfully, I still have unbalanced cables to fall back on to get the JOB up and running.
I just sold my Vega and am now using a Mytek DAC in it's place. The NCore with the Vega and most other DAC's I've used has too thin a sound with a Class D power amp (particularly the Ncore). It's missing the emotion and musical connection that I long for. I just got tired of it, and boy, am I glad I made the change. I love the Mytek. It has a nice full midrange and real body that I've been missing yet really good detail throughout the spectrum. I'm now expecting the Mytek's body to merge with possibly more "meat" with the JOB and will end up what I've been searching for for years from a tonality standpoint. I'm tired of throwing thousands of dollars down the drain buying and selling equipment. More later when the JOB arrives (fingers crossed).

Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
The Job 225 will need 100-200 hours to settle down but it's good out of the box. An upgraded fuse will help as well and I plan on ordering one in about a week or two once everything from RMAF settles down. I will have an original amp to compare it against but don't expect much difference. I've used xlr to rca adapters on the Job without issues.

Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
Hi! I just registered, partly out of interest of this amp. It's a great reading how enthusiastic owners of this amp are. Do you know of a timetable for the new batch? In the mean time, I will be searching for more reviews ;-)

Hi Allen,
I bought the Job Sweetcord with the first amp. With this new amp I went straight to the Shunyata Venom3. I paid $99 for it when I bought three. I'll go back to the Sweetcord at some point and listen for differences. Sometimes it takes me a while. With the EAR 868 and the Job 225 on my TADs, holy cow! I love what I am hearing.Fleetwood Deville by Oswald Mills Audio, Vienna Acoustics Haydn Jubilee, Wharfedale Linton w/ stands, Klipsch RB-75, Klipsch RP-160M.

Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
Those adapters are cool!! I never thought about it, but do they degrade sound at all as compared to just running rca?? What about running it the otherway, plugged into the back of a preamp and running xlr into amps??

JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
As I first turned on my new JOB225 to let it warm up, my first thought was "what in the hell is in this thing?" The amp is small and light. Is it Class D? Did I missing something in the literature? Amps this small shouldn't be producing this kind of bass from the first note. 60 minutes later.....time for a serious listen.
First impressions - the 125 watts is underrated. Comparing it to my 145 watt Marantz, the Job plays louder. The JOB225 has the bass slam
of a much bigger amp. Midrange presentation is forward (in a good way). Highs are rolled off nicely.
The biggest strength of the amp is its tube like midrange presentation and bass control.
On the downside, the JOB225 isn't the last word in tonality. The drum beat on the opening of "I don't care anymore" by Phil Collins (24/192 high res download from HDTRACKS) for example sounded less like drums than other amps. Like the sound from an expensive drum set compared to a junior one. The pro drum set will have much fuller, rounder sound.
On "Take it Easy" from the same high res box set, the acoustic guitar strumming didn't sound as rich and full as with other amps.
One big caveat to my criticisms above, the only RCA cables I own are of the BestBuy variety. I'm certain a better pair of line level cables would improve tonality.
At the end of the day, the JOB225 hits much higher than its weight category. This is an amp that could easily give amps costing a lot more - a run for their money. Power, slam, great midrange presentation and smooth highs....for $1695....its one of those rare high end bargains. Highly recommended.
P.S. Big thanks to Joe and Norman for turning me on to this great amp. I hope JOB gives you guys an amp for all your efforts....they probably sold half of their last run because of you two guys!My Systems: http://www.audioshark.org/showthread...481#post158481

Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
Part-Time Audiophile
Out of the box? Much higher level of fit and finish than I would have expected. Sound quality is also something of a surprise. Very rich, full, with completely satisfying extension. That's all I've got so far, but it's been driving my Magnepan 3.7s to thunderous levels since this morning and it's only barely warm to the touch. Looking very much like a keeper.NORMAN

Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
I think the new amp runs a little cooler the original amp. Not sure why. I think they sound very close if not the same. I need more time to compare.

Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
Could be 2 reasons..1) the modded grounding scheme and 2) people reported that after break-in, the amp ran cooler. i think JOB runs the new amps for a week before shipping, according to their website.

Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
Any thought as when the next batch will be ready for shipping? They are still letting you add it to the cart and order, though you guys say it is sold out. Wouldn't really want them to sit on a PayPal payment for a length of time.

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
