Although I don't own the JC-1's, I did quite a bit of research on them. Based on that research, I believe these amps are something special. There is near unanimous praise of them. Nearly everyone praises their sonics. Most descriptions of their sound indicate there is no particular character trait that anyone would find offensive. They are basically described as detailed, grainless, not bright, soundstaging & detailing champs, with a touch of warmth and incredible bass.
Audiophiles are often unsatisfied with anything they buy, and some audiophiles look for sound that punches them in the face, but later turns out to be irritating and overetched.
These threads on "why so many for sale" occur regularly here, and most of the time turn out to have no bearing on the quality of the product. Evaluate the JC-1 with your own ears and decide.
