Job amps: Suck?

SUCK is a very bad word DUDE!!!!!!

Compare the internals with, say, a BAT, ML, Luxman, etc. Just very unimpressive.

 Why would a $1700 internet direct amp compare to a five figure one. Compare it’s big brothers to those. Like the others have implied you’re just stirring up crap as you obviously don’t have anything else to do. The Job amps are designed, built and sold to a price and purpose while their Goldmund siblings are not. 

I’m asking about this because I’m entering the market soon for an upgrade amp/integrated. I’m gearing up to drop on a ML, possibly Luxman, BAT, even a Vitus. Maybe AudioNet...maybe even a Gryphon. However I don’t WANT to spend that kind of cash — if a $1700 unit can at least compete with these others than I could live happily ever after with the basic casework.

I was in the market for a power amp back then and considered Bryston 3B^3 and Odyssey Stratos. Then I came across the Job 225 "hype" at audioshark.org, and I believe I combed the entire web for info and did not find a negative review. Here are several Job 225 reviews...

...and more in the hifi press and forums in Chinese, Japanese, Dutch and German to name a few.

I bought it without sight and was ready to relegate to my home office to get the Bryston if it does not live up to the hype. So far it has been great, especially with the Job Pre2 control amp. 

I see a similar trend now with the  Kinki Studio EX-M1 Integrated amp....a little known manufacturer with a great amp and word gets out through word-of-mouth. (though Job are made by Goldmund)
