Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?

Devilboy,

Tell me about it. It will never end, but at least we are finding better gear at lower prices.

As for the fuse, only buy the Audio Magi Nano-Liquid Premium.

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.

Fuse update: 4A Slow-Blow small.

I have to apologize if there was any confusion in previous posts. I can't go back and edit them. Please use a 4A Slow-Blow small fuse in the Job 225 amps.

I'm a little concerned about replacing any stock fuses with a boutique fuse. I may just be paranoid, but I've read in a few places that while some boutique fuses will SOUND better, they may not be quick enough in protecting the component-its primary function.

Hi all, wanted to comment. Thanks for the fuse suggestions. I will check into that straight away. I bought mine in June. The grounding issue was frustrating but it was handled professionally and quickly. I have been in the hobby for just over 10 years. I fully expected it would be another 10 before I could afford sound like this. The word "articulation" keeps popping up through this thread. That is an apt one word description! Also, so....this is what 30Hz bass sounds like? I had no idea! I've used tubed integrateds for the last six or so years. I'm currently using a Rogue preamp. It is my first preamp so I can't really comment comparatively on that account. However, I am seriously considering the matching Job pre when released. Back to solid state after all these years. What a strange pursuit we participate in.
