Glory, the consensus is that SR Quantum fuse and the AudioMagice liquid Nano fuses give the biggest impact. |
DevilBoy, you may want to look about changing Dacs before you change that preamp!
Metrum is good, but many reportedly beat it. I know a couple guys who switched.
Chord Qute with Linear PSU, Phasure Nos1, Lampizator, Auralic Vega, BMC PureDac, etc are some of the hottest names in the mid/high market segment. |
From a poster at audioshark.org:
Re: JOB 225 2-channel Power Amplifier ... update ...
Update ! Update ! Update!
My order has been placed and paid for !!!! The first batch has been released. Thank you Job! Good job. |
There is already feedback on Amazon comparing the two and the poster said the (older version) JOB bested the N-cores! |
Facebook first impressions:
Part-Time Audiophile: Out of the box? Much higher level of fit and finish than I would have expected. Sound quality is also something of a surprise. Very rich, full, with completely satisfying extension. That's all I've got so far, but it's been driving my Magnepan 3.7s to thunderous levels since this morning and it's only barely warm to the touch. Looking very much like a keeper. |
It seems the amps are back in stock (from another forum):
Received email from Job 4:36 this morning, ordered a Job 225 at 5:01! Can't wait! |
I had missed this follow up:

Joe, my Boston Pal has the W4S-SE and absolutely LOVES it. He is the one that went from horns to EP speakers. |
Hahahahaah.
George, you never stop do you? You have ben trying to dimish this amp from day 1 based on just a picture of the innards. When that failed and the feedback has been overwhelmingly good, you now say that it cant power anything but benign loads.
Why do you fear this $1,700 amp so much? Is it because you perceive a commercial threat?
Dont worry, there is space for many kinds of products out there and all kinds of competing philosphies. Nothing is right for everyone, but many seem to be well satisfied with the outstanding value proposition they get with this amp.
Just let it be. It's a useless battle to wage, as the amp is still selling like hotcakes where demand still outstrips supply. No amount of speculation will change that. |
Rather than a Preamp, i wish Job would make an integrated. |
Preamp next and probably by mid year.
No plans for Mono-blocs when I last asked a month ago or so.
I would love to see an integrated with basic remote... |
latest I heard was that preamp possibly by June and monoblocs by year end.
I would love to see an integrated with simple remote. |
Wow Gary, let us know what the mods bring! How do you clamp down the silver ribbon wire to the Stage 3 wire?
D-Boy, those are not my impression, rather I relay what i heard. I have not yet heard the Job, but know the quality. I could have gooten a loaner unit this week, but my system is all packed up waiting on a house move. |
G,
You still plan on modding the Job, or will you wait for the monoblocs (year end)? |
Glory,
U looking to change amps again??? |
OK, nothing wrong with that!
Enjoy the window shopping. |

Sweetcord email feedback I got:
J. stopped by today to audition his new Sweetcord powering the JOB 225 he let me borrow. Words seldom fail me, but describing the dramatic improvement rendered by one Sweetcord would be impossible. I can simply describe the experience as " OMG" and assume you catch my drift. Absolutely remarkable - the best I've ever heard, and by a wide margin. Wow! |
