Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?


There's almost no consumer impressions of this amp on the internet... but the 6moons review is intriguing.

I'm getting a chance in the coming week to hear a JOB 225 driving Maggie 3.7s and Pendragon SEAS, comparison amps include Odyssey Kismet monos and a Plinius. I'll post my observations after the session.
When I heard the JOB 225, it had no warm up and probably wasn't broken in enough. It had enough power to drive the 3.7s comfortably, not as much grip and drive in the bass as the Veritas. In this green condition, the JOB 225 had sound stage and transparency/detail, at the expense of tone sounding leaner than the Veritas. I hope to hear it again after some more burn in. So much has been written about the amp including a huge thread at AudioShark, and leanness is a trait no one attributes to the 225, so my first take must have been an anomaly, I look forward to auditioning it again.
Joe, I've followed the thread on AS, and with the exposure you have to the absolute best gear available, you have always championed the JOB 225. I hope to hear the same unit with many more hours on it soon, I want it to be the sleeper amp that has Goldmund sonics at Rotel pricing.
