Parasound JC-1 Questions

my experience is also that with adequate space for ventilation they are warm to the touch at most,even after days of being left on in high biased mode.once e-mailed
Bob Crump to ask him about this and he answered that he couldn't understand why people were saying they ran so hot.

Kevziek, when you had the bias lowered on the one of your amps, did you have to send it back to Parasound, or did you or your dealer make the adjustment?

I will probably check the bias after the 2 months of break in.

1)By now, it sounds as if you understand that they only need to be powered on w/signal 24/7x60
for break-in, after that it's business as usual.
90-120 minute warmup and your good to go.

2) Don't know about the Krell, but, my JC-1's have no restrictions around them (see system pics).
In low bias, even after cranking awhile, I can hold my hands on the heat sinks indefinitely.
In high bias mode, after cranking awhile, I really wouldn't want to hold my hands on the heat sinks for more than a few seconds.
But, this is to be expected in high bias mode. It's not like their sizzling hot and you'd burn yourself just touching them for a few seconds. Let's just say it's uncomfortable.

3) No regrets-they rock!

Darn, Perfectionist! My amps didn't come with lava lamps!

Nice pics!

Thanks Brian, they're the Starship MKII Special Edition
with TG Audio SLVR PC's and they match my JC-1's to a T :)

What I want to see is pics of YOUR system :(
