Just noticed these reviews at Stereo Times .. and at PT Audiophile which give reasonable views on their equipment ..

...If there was a money back guarantee with nothing but shipping cost back to deal with, I'd gladly try it in my system as it's one of those amps that's well, that cheapo thing that somehow competes with megabuck cost no option equipment, so I'd gladly pay the full price if it beat out my own equipment! I'm always with a totally open mind in audio so it's a great thing if/when equipment can be priced as reasonable as the Job, and if it could beat what I currently own, I would have no problem putting down the cash.
If I recall, at one time, they were selling the amp through Amazon, which I assume then did offer a (30 day) trail period. Wish they would do that again. I understand the amp may be a good match for my KEF LS50s.
Woody, the Clear Day cables are nice and good value. Keep us posted on the Job/Kef, will make for some interesting reading.
This is the setup I'll be running. I have LS50's waiting patiently in the box, needing to get stands ordered up. I have Clear Day Double Shotgun cables for the system, and I'm waiting for a couple more reviews, but I think I'm gonna pop for a Pre2 as well.

I scored some Skylan stands for my LS50's for a great price off of AudioCircle so I should be hearing the Job/Kef combo next week! Pretty excited.

You may already know this, but if not, the KEFs need a long time to break in. In fact, if you have another amp you can temporarily drive them with now, I would hook them up and let um rip. Even if it's on the floor, aimed at no particular direction.
I have been running a Job 225 and the new Job Pre2 in my main rig for the past two weeks i am using a Canary audio CD200 as a transport to a modded Eastern electric minimax dac. the Job 225 is powering a pair of Silverline audio Sonata III loudspeakers.i really like the sound of the Job amp/preamp combo and i am considering a 2nd 225 so that i can bi amp the Sonata III's.
Now that the Pre2 is out, I'm so so so tempted to get the 225 + Pre2 pair.
Are the new 115/230 versions switchable or do you have to order one or the other? If it's switchable, that makes it that much more desirable for me. :scratch2:
