Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10

I don't believe the larger Ayre amp sounds as good as the V5x.

As a very satisfied owner of the exceptional JC-1 monoblock amps, I must defend them from the undeserving attack about the build quality, and parts quality by the first responder to this thread!
The JC-1's have no "junk" parts on the inside or outside!
They are built like a tank, and use some of the highest quality and best sounding parts currently available!
I have no problem at all with the Superior Electric binding posts. The JC-1's have received rave reviews from the audio press as well as audiophiles for their excellent sound, PARTS QUALITY, and build quality! As Brian Walsh said, they are factory hot rods!
And you MUST give them their required LONG break-in period, or you will never know just how exceptional they can sound!

I will also give the JC-1s my highest recommendation based on extensive listening to my best buddy's system which includes a pair of these amps. I certainly won't say they are the best amps available, but they certainly ARE among the very best available at ANY price, IMO. They are well built, with very high parts quality (just pop the lid on one of these puppies to see what I'm talking about).

Krevzeik: I think you should refrain from making such bold statements like you did in this thread without first, knowing all the facts and second, you better be able to back up what you say or you should specify that your statements are based on your opinion and not fact. You shouldn't trash a product without first knowing the facts. Please do your homework before typing.

Timo,
In all due respect, I think you meant Mahandave instead of Krevzeik as the one criticizing the JC-1's.
Krevzeik defended the JC-1's.
Thanks Timo.

i had recently bought a pair of jc-1s and also had a negative experience. after hooking them up, noticed a low level buzz coming from one mono block when you were close to it. called parasound and was told this was "normal". when i told rep. the other was dead quiet, his response was,"well, that one is beyond spec." a second problem was one of the standby lights on the front panel did not function properly, and this prompted the dealer to take them back and get me a new pair. i hooked up the new pair, and played them for about 20mins, and heard a loud pop. one of the monoblocks had "blown" (not a fuse), and quit working. at this point, i had had enough. they went back to the dealer and i am currently waiting on a new amp from a different manufacturer. the parasounds may be great sounding amps, but my experience speaks to the overall build quality and quality assurance.
