Sure a nice looking full featured preamp. I have never been disappointed with Parasound, I purchased a ZPre3 a few years back what a little jewel.
Parasound has the good sense to have tone control.. I hope that hasn't changed.
I ran it in the Tape loop of a C20 (Samra special). I wanted a remote control, DAC and a sub out. It added ZERO floor noise to the system (my biggest concern). The 300.00 usd I paid for it, I would have tripled it for the convenience. After installing and using it on its own, and in the loop, what a great preamp and a small footprint too boot..
Their SS power amps have always been great sounding amp too. I can't think of anything close for the money. Maybe some tricked out class ds or something.. BUT you have step WAY UP to get a bigger bang for the buck product. Period..
A preamp with built in crossover features for the subs and mains... You can direct couple a passive sub system (swarm or dba) and really gain a lot of bass driver cone control.. Almost servo like.. Who does that? Phono stage and load options for the cart. Lots and lots of goodies.
Heck I want one..:-)
