The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

Hi Nikhil,

Good Job, congratulations!

What amp and dac will the INTegrated be replacing?

Greetings,
Jaap
 
Thank you Jaap.

I plan to use the INT with a pair of Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX speakers which I have on order. My other rig is what I have mentioned in my signature below. Acoustic Portrait is a small local boutique Indian brand that I was guided to a few years ago. Preamp is a tube design. Amp is a solid state dual mono design. The sound signature is similar to GamuT - I am told.
 
This is turning into a strange experience ...

The paypal interface says that the item has shipped via DHL.
But when I try to track it on DHL I get an error message.

Mails to their goldmundusa.com addresses have bounced.
Resent mail to jobsys.com domain email and it looks like it went through.

So far no reply or acknowledgement.
Is there an address that someone can pm me to contact Job Audio?
 
With me it took several days before the Job left Switzerland and became known at DHL. The first part of the journey is not tracked.

Thanks for the help. I finally got a reply today from Job.
As Jaap said, apparently the tracking number is generated but my amp ships on Tuesday.

Jaap, curious to know your feedback/update on the INT now that you have had it for sometime.

Regards.
 
The INTegrated does not hum, isn't always hot and it's got a remote. That's compared to my former amp. It sounds at least as good as my former amp and dac (Metrum Octave 1). It's quick. I think it sounds more detailed, dynamic and spaciously when playing softly in the evening. That's when I enjoy having the new amp most. Also did a listening session with some music friends. They were quit impressed with the dynamics and overall sound. I'm happy whith the Job INT.
 
The Sonneteer Alabaster is very well regarded. As is the Metrum Octave.
If you have replaced them with the INT that is very good.

Should be a very interesting time when my INT arrives.
 
After a long wait my shipment is finally tracking on DHL.
Some rough travel ahead for my INT including some time in the grueling heat of the Indian summer.
 
Congratulations! I am sure you will love it. I still want one.
 
Thanks Joe! Can't wait myself after reading the reviews and feedback all over.

The one negative review has been the one from the Australian forum (stereo.net.au). I wrote to Srajan at 6 moons asking him if the INT was lacking in terms of bass control. He said that I don't need to worry about anything with my Green Mountain Audio speakers. Of course I don't think my speakers are complex loads either. He said that the fast wide-bandwidth Job INT should make a great pairing.

All will be known in a few days hopefully.
 
Don't listen to those Aussies on stereonet. They hate everything Job. We know better :)

Enjoy it. It's a Goldmund after all and has Goldmund dna.

Hi there, now that the first Goldmund Metis 7 ship, has anyone been able to compare both products side-by-side ?
 
My INT finally arrived after being shipped from Geneva on April 5th (2 weeks). The shipment reached India but was in customs for about 16 days - a few days were on me as I had to send in the required documents for clearance. True to their word, Job picked up the tab on the shipping, customs, etc and the package was delivered to my door yesterday evening. Amazing if you ask me!

If only I could say the same for the local DHL delivery. My wife told me that they delivered it rolling the box end over end! My heart sank on hearing this. Sure enough after opening the box, I felt something moving inside the case. Not a lot but enough to cause concern. On opening the top cover (Metric 2.5 mm Allen Key needed) I found that the nut securing the toroid transformer was loose. Whew! Everything else was secure. The inside of the top cover did suffer a few scratches unfortunately.

Feedback to Job: Shipping to certain countries will need the "Handle with Care" and "This Way Up" stickers along with the usual fragile declarations. Needless to say but my INT survived some pretty shoddy handling in 45 C (113 F) temperature. Customers elsewhere rest assured that packing quality is adequate.

Right now I am just happy that it has arrived. Listening impressions to follow ...
 
Sorry to hear that. As a fellow audiophile I can only imagine how you'd feel. Hope your INT is 100% health wise apart from the scratches.

Thanks for the concern. Fortunately the INT is playing clean as a whistle right now. Have put about 10 hrs on it by now and no problems so far. However I'm hoping that if any damages have occurred, that they will show up now so I can inform Job asap.
 
Have been listening to the INT for several hours now and have to say that I am very happy with the sound. One of the concerns that I had in going with an integrated was about the music not having the weight that a preamp brings to the sound. The INT has that - no problem there at all. In fact the INT questions a lot of things I had assumed about audio.

Although it's early days in my setup - the sound is not that far off from my separates. This is just amazing considering the effort one normally would put in to match dac, amps and speakers. One box and it has it all. This has to be one of the best deals in audio.

I also connected the INT via the analog input from my DAC. No idea why there was so much fuss made. There are no veils. I hear my DAC and analog interconnects which is what I expect to hear. It's just different in comparison to accessing the INT via USB. So far no problems at all with the volume control - DSP and all.

Very happy with the INT!
 
Congratulations Nikhil. It's a great amplifier indeed. I just bought myself a Aries Mini streamer (with SBooster psu) to feed the INTegrated. Very clean sound.
