Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?

Most have moved on from the job,I don't think it would be that much more neutral than a F7,could be system dependent though.

You got to remember that the job is a very high gain Amp,10db higher than the average of 26db for most solid state amps.The job pairs best with a passive or low gain preamp.

The benchmark AHB2 is probably a lot more closer to neutral than any other I can think of but is twice the price.

It can of course be system dependent and you didn't list the rest of your system.The F7 is probably the most neutral of all the first watt offerings that I have heard though.


Best of luck to you,

Kenny.

Kenny is right about the Job being system dependent. The LTA MZ2 did not work well with it, the Decware CSP3 did work well because of the input adjustment. The Job also can occasionally make a big pop sound when it decides to pass a little DC to your speakers.

Anyone compared the Job225 to the Benchmark Ahb2 amp?

It's been a bit since anyone has commented in here, but I was wondering if people still have their 225's, and if so, are they still in love with them?

Got my Job 225 and Pre2 in September and loving them. I think folks are still holding on to their Job, hard to find in the used market back when I was looking.
