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

Job emailed me the other day and I guess they were closed until yesterday so it shipped out today. Hopefully get the Job by end of this week!!

Anyway, after going through the thread I decided to spend a little more on a dac/preamp and go with the Eximus DP-1 and go with the oppo103 for the trqnsport.

So it will be Oppo 103 -> Eximus DP-1 -> JOB 225 -> EA MicroOnes.

I just had a question for power cords..

I was gonna get the Shuntaya Venom 3 for all my electronics at Music direct but they listed the Venom 3 HC which I guess are strictly for Amps. When I click on info it says its for Amps that need burst of high current.. its also sold in 15 Amp or 20 Amp. Which one should I get? I know nothing about electric currents etc..

I can either get the HC and get a normal Venom 3 for the DAC/preamp and the Venom 3 Source powercord for the oppo 103..

Or just go with the 3 regular Venom 3 powercords for all 3. (Amp/preamp -dac/ transport).

Which should I get?

Thanks in advance..
 
First of all, Congratulations!

The Job has a 15A IEC input connector on the back, so that's what you need. The 20A version of the cable has the 20A connector, so it will not fit.

This picture should show what I mean.

You can buy the Venom 3 HC in the 15A version and I that's what I would get.

The Venom Series High-Current Solution to Proper Power Delivery - Available in 15A and 20A IEC Versions

ps You could alway buy the Job Sweetcord for the same price and get the cord that was designed for the amp. I use one and love it.

Hello everybody. :) (and sorry for my poor english)
I am rather surprised that Goldmund finally decided to offer their technology at such affordable price.
I have long experience with their products, and my equipment is mostly based on their toys.
I didn´t liked too much the change from their Mimesis series circuit to the Job circuit.
The older Job circuit amps were extremely fast and dynamic but i little bit dry and overtight in bass, a little bit "yang" sounding.

i guess that after 5 or 6 Job generations, the Job-Telos circuit is now very improved, safer and more musical.

So i will give Job a new opportunity and i am thinking to purchase one Job225 for my home-theater setup extension.

Best regards

If I read the JOB website correctly, JOB has existed as a separate entity since 1996 and it would appear they licensed their amp circuit technology to Goldmund (and other companies ?) and have tapped Goldmund to now make an amp under the JOB brand. See text below from the JOB website. But, perhaps, like Hypex/Grimm/Mola-Mola in the Netherlands, their is common/shared ownership between Goldmund and JOB.

"[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Since early days, the task of the JOB development team has been to create the highest possible performance amplification circuit. First seen on the legendary JOB Mono in 1996, the JOB amplification circuit has been adopted and used under license by other high end Audio companies as Goldmund because it was the most accurate existing.[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
The technical supremacy of the JOB circuit is well established in the Audio Industry and JOB continues patiently to improve it."[/FONT]
 
Welcome to the forum earflappin!

Thank you for joining!

I love my Job and am dying for the mono amps.

May be i am wrong but i think that Job was founded by a group of students/engineers who licensed their Job circuit to Goldmund, but some years later Goldmund (or the Digital Audio Trading group to which Goldmund belongs) bought the Job company. I vaguely remember having read this but not sure.

thanks, joeinid and maty
 
I think there is a lot of misinfo out there about this. I think Mediviete's understanding comes closest.
 
An important question, to me:

Do you use a power conditioner / regenerator / filter line / isolation transformer ... with The Job 225? Which?

Please, please. :huh:
 
I got my Job 225 last week and listened for about 20 minutes without a preamp and dac going straight into my direct tv set top box (lol) since I am still looking around for which dac and preamp to use with the Job.

Sound for 20 minutes connected to a dire t tv 5.00 dac? Shocking good.

This Amp is never going back. Its a keeper.

I am seriously looking into getting the

Sorry phone hiccuped. Anyway, im looking into getting the Chordette QuteHD DAC and just using something like an emotiva passive volume controller until Job comes out with the preamp of their own. I read on another thread that Job might be coming out with one by June so hopefully the emotiva volume controller will get me by until then. I emailed Job this morning and asked them when they will come out with a preamp and still no reply.. maybe its their day off or something.?

Anyway, Job sounding this good connected to a $5.00 dac from direct tv,I cant imagine how good they will sound with the rest of the setup will prabably all come in by first week of May..

Used just a 40 dollar audioquest cables with radioshacks 10 dollar RCA and stock power cord..

Sound was still damn good. Dynamic, with great imaging, analog sound with crisp vocals not to mention tight bass. And its barely the first hour.


Will do a full review once I get rest of my stuff in.

Thanks Joe and Wisnon for your reviews on the Job 225!!

You are welcome. I am thinking of selling my Qute Hd for $1,100, delivery included, as it is surplus to requirements. Let me know if interested by PM.

Job wont answer about the preamp till they are sure about the launch date, but June is the last they told me. Make sure to get a sweetcord as well, and try without power conditioning, which sometimes chokes the amp.

I have problems with my line, with more RFI/EMI and 227V - 238V (usually 233-235V).

I use Schaffner filter line to attenaute RFI/EMI and I have modified the bias of the AV Marantz SR4500 (Job has bias fixed).

USB Isolator: iFi iUSB vs TeraDak U9VA + Teralink ADuM4160. Filtros Schaffner. Lampizator: AC filter DIY ESA SILK. Estabilizador / regulador de tensión / voltaje. Isolation transformer.

Modificación del Bias / polarización de los transistores de potencia de los amplificadores. DC offset.

I have fear JOB does not work at 100% (sound) so I have not yet purchased (and after a passive preamplifier, off course). And I want to change my system!!!
