Anybody know what happened at JOB...

Hello to all...

I'm a big JOB INT fan - wanted to order another with refinements/changes I'd heard rumored, but it appears they are no longer manufacturing anything (amps, pre or int)... Anybody know what happened?
I thought their products were reviewed very well by both critics and users.... Can anyone shed some light on this - I am greatly disappointed...

And if someone who has a JOB INT can either sell me theirs (can't imagine why you would sell it though) or make a recommendation for another integrated brand/piece in that price and power range, I'd be thankful...

I am wondering why Zu does not offer biwiring / biamping options.

Because there's no crossover in Zu speakers.  What would be the benefit of biwiring a full range driver?

The majority of woofers, in the majority of speakers, send information, back into the amplifier, called EMF. Many articles on the subject. Some manufactures believe in the concept, some do not. I have always been an advocate of biwiring, and, passive biamping, when the speaker was designed in this way. Passive biamping takes the " back EMF " situation, a step further. The amplifiers, in this case, have less work to do, as they no longer need to reproduce the full bandwidth of frequencies.

Hello guys,

 

I have the Job INT for some time and I really love it ! But I am looking for a great power cord as i live in France - so the Job Sweet Cord doesn't fit EU outlets.

 

Would you get any advices of a great model that works perfectly?

 

Many thanks,

Ben

I use a Shunyata digital power AC cable (I forgot the exact model) because of the built in dac. Sounds great to me but I have not experimented too much.

Check out the web sites of some of the top, most popular brands, as some give you options of ac plug termination. Once you find one, two, or a few, read the reviews and opinions of the cord owners, as you might get a sense of what they like / what you like....
