FirstWatt J2 on its way


After much debate, I decided on a J2 and it will be here tomorrow. I’m super excited. The J2, from what I’ve read, will be a perfect match for my Zu Omen defs and BHK preamp. I’ll report back on my impressions.

I use the bhk pre with the J2!! It's a great combo. Matched with my Devore 0/93's. The gain is perfect for me. I also use it with my Zu dirty weekends. The j2 also works well with higher impedance speakers too. What impedance are you speakers?
If it's super high maybe try out a loading resistor that Zu audio sells on their website to knock your speakers down closer to 8 ohm.
only costs about $20
My Zu Omen Defs are already 8 ohms, however, I've read that people with Zu Souls use the resistor with great results. My Omen Defs are rated at 101 db efficiency. The review measurements generally palce it around 96-97 db, which is still really sensitive. I'm hooking up the amp later today. I just with there were a better way to turn the thing on and off. In the past, I've tried those "master" power strips, but find that they add noise. I currently run all my components to a Torus power conditioner/protector.
