Tube Preamp Recommendations?
Hi, I am using a MW LS100 with phono and the sound can definitely be tailored to your taste by swapping the 6SN7 tubes and/or the phono tubes as well. I will also be selling this pre shortly, so if you are interested, let me know. I have the Russi... 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
"I've already traded emails with Chris J. at Parts Connexion, and he expressed willingness to have me send in the Job for evaluation of a further upgrade path. I'm seriously considering doing so, as I don't possess the expertise to tackle such an ... 
Preamp for Job 225
Hi,I haven't checked in on this forum for awhile. I am using the stock stp/se, however, I have been considering trying the Underwood or W4S upgrades. OTH, I have also been changing cables, so my bank account is a bit low right now. 
Preamp for Job 225
Almost forgot...Job will have a preamp out by June 15 and obviously that will be a good pairing. 
Preamp for Job 225
I use the W4S STP/SE and the pairing sounds great! BTW, the input impedance is 61k, so I would not characterize it as "low". Also, I am seriously thinking about going for the Stage 2 upgrade. 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
The Job is not lean...if one detects any leanness, then it is likely an up stream component. It is however very transparent.Interesting how some people have opinions about a product that they have never heard and also like to provide the (abbrevia... 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
I use that combination and it sounds great! 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
I have no idea what the "quoted 9 watt amp" was, nor have I ever listened to the Nines with anything less than a 55 watt tube amp, that weighed 65 lbs. I also used a 100 watt hybrid amp for a while and the Job was simply better in vitually every p... 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
Hi, I'm using the JOB to power Devore Nines and it is the most dynamic and best bass that I have heard from these speakers! Great soundstaging and imaging as well. I can imagine that paired with the Orangutans, these qualities would be even greate...

Hi,I'm using the W4S STP-SE with the Job 225 and it is a great sounding combo! I may also try the Stage 1 upgrade next year.Glenn 
PC for a Running Springs Haley
The ESP reference should work well as I had one on my Jaco, but switched to another cord to eliminate DC what was causing hum in my amp. 
Amp for Dali Hellicon 400 mk2
I am using a Sanders ESL 300 MkII amp to drive my Helicon 400s. It is an excellent sounding amp with plenty of power and bass control! The speakers also respond readily to cable and preamp changes. I am also using a Dodd battery preamp with NOS tu... 
Audience Au-24 vs. Enhanced version same cable
I have had both the standard and the new "e" version ICs at different times. The "e" sounds more open and focused and perhaps a bit faster (transients) sounding. It is a very good sounding cable, but I will probably be selling mine since I have ma... 
Sanders ESL Power Amp & Mono blocks
I have been using the Sanders ESL amp for several months and I just love it! It sounds very neutral and has great control over my Dali Helicon 400 speakers. I initially used it with a Rowland Synergy IIi, which is a very nice combination. I now us...
