9 days left until JOB INTegrated: https://www.facebook.com/JOB-Electronics-604066693053799/timeline/![]()
Welcome to the forum Adrian. Thank you for joining.
I was wondering that too once someone mentioned it. I hope to have one next week to play with and am really curious to hear it. I loved the Job 225 and as long as your speakers are fairly benign, it can be a stunning inexpensive option. I am still a little unsure of the total watts per channel and was going to order the Job monos to be on the safe side. I still may buy the monos when my friend buys the INTegrated from me. We'll see. I am waiting for tracking info.

I was also thinking about the monos but I'm only using a pair of Focal 1008's. My budget is limited and I thought I should probably have the Pre2 in the loop to make sure there's no DC issues.
I have never, repeat, never heard anyone complain of or have dc issues with the Job amps. I was a VERY early adopter. It's a NON-issue in my mind and made way too much of on the forums and/or reviews. I have used 40-50K retail speakers with about 4 Job amps and personally know several friends with Job amps and they never had an issue either.
Do you have a preamp now?
I'm highly interested to know more about the INTegrated. Looking at the facebook pics, I'm wondering how the amp section differs from the 225 since there doesn't appear to be a heatsink at the back anymore? Originally, I was hoping this thing would be a combination of the 225+Pre2 with a version of the Alize DA in it. I guess I was looking at it like a 'poor mans' version of the Devialet since I was looking to run my Cubox directly into the Job INT. Depending on how the pre/amp section is, I might just go with the 225.
On the circuitry and lack of heat sinks, I have found out a bit more here:

Hi Joe,
No I don't have a preamp right now. I planned to set things up like this: Cubox -> LH Labs Pulse Infinity -> Job 225 -> Focal 1008
