| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? I wonder what the input impedance of the Rothwell devices are as George makes a good point. I believe the input impedance of the LSA is 20k and that is not a good match for the output impedance of my tube preamp. | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Seems the Rothwells do change the sound in some not so great ways. Great LSA idea. | |
| Harbeth 40.1 - Need some tips on placement from current owners. Thanks Rob. These are a simple joy for me. I played all my Rickie Lee Jones CDs today and so enjoyed it! | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Thank you very much srosenberg as this is a mighty fine idea. I was thinking of just using Rothwell attenuators, but they may degrade the sound? I have not used the Rothwells before. I love this little amp. Best value in high end along with the Li... | |
| Harbeth 40.1 - Need some tips on placement from current owners. Nice post. I bet the Bryston is a good match with the 40.1s. Best to avoid dark or warmish sounding amps for best results. I bet the new Vac will be very good indeed! | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? George, my speaker is 84db and the input impedance on the Job amp is 51k. Amazing sounding amp. I have read that older units had a grounding issue that caused the noises I am having. | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? With my volume control at 9 the music is at 80db at 10:30-11 the music plays at 90db or so average weighted C scale. No real noise to speak of until I get to 11AM and then it starts be become loud. If I play my music under 85-90db all is well. If ... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? George knows I have owned, modified, and built LDR passive units so I know them well. I also know they would be a great match with this amp. Problem is I a/b'd my DIY preamp against a Tortuga LDR and my active was just more pleasing. I love Georg... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? How did you bleed off gain at the inputs? Speakers are 84db effecient and my tube preamp I am not sure about. It is not high gain however. The top cover is warm, however I am talking about the heat sinks on the back of the amp only. These sinks ge... | |
| Harbeth 40.1 - Need some tips on placement from current owners. Hi Bob. I hooked the 40.1s to a Goldmund Job 225 SS amp today and have been listening for several hours. I must say it seems these speakers like more power and SS amps. I like the sound better and I did not think it could get any better. These spe... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Understand. The heatsinks are only warm at low volumes, but very, very hot at high volumes. At idle, just warm. | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Devil boy, my heat sinks get so hot I cannot keep my hand on them for even a second when I crank the volume. Do you find this to be true? burning hot. | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Thanks. More of a tube rush sound as the hum through the woofers is slight. The tube rush sort of hiss is strange? Hiss is a ground issue? I know a 60hz hum is grounding, but hiss? I know the unit is two years old. Perhaps the seller will pay for ... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? I just received a used unit here on the Tom. I hear a lot of hiss and hum out of my speakers and my system has been dead quiet with all the other amps I have owned. Is this hissing noise and hum somethinhpg you guys hear? I hear it at moderate to ... | |
| Banana plugs into Pass x.5 amps I like a well designed banana connector and the good ones have as much contact area and can be as secure as any spade. |
