Parasound P/LD-2000


I have an opportunity to purchase a used Parasound P/LD-2000 preamp. Does anyone have some insight on this unit? I can't seem to find too much information on this pre.

Daltonlanny, I suggest what happens in Las Vegas stays there until the unit is introduced. Yes the unit is being designed by CTC, but it is a long way from production. We were contracted by Parasound well over a year ago, but things are not moving very fast..........It will become a product when it is finished, not before........

Hey Brian Walsh, what so called inaccuracies are you referring to in daltonlannys post?
I have been told the exact same things in various emails by Schram, Crump, and others.
Mr. Schram personally told me in an email that they were still getting the prototype JC-2 ready for production, and hopefully the JC-2 would be ready for sale late this year or early next year. He and Crump said that it is indeed designed by CTC Builders as well.
Mr. Crump has also told me in a past e-mail that the Parasound P/LD-2000 was being used as a prototype for the JC-2, and that the JC-2 prototype looked very similar to the P/LD-2000 on the inside.
He also said the JC-2 would be an all FET, dual-mono, Class A, design with higher quality parts and circuit layouts than the 2000.
He said he would voice the final prototype, and it would have a similar voice as the JC-1 monoblock amps.
I do not see any innaccuracies in daltonlannys post at all, unless the info that I and he were given was also false?
Thanks,
Angela
Daltonlanny, I surely don't appreciate being called a liar and imagine you don't either. I meant no disrespect, but my post stands. I have nothing to add at this time other than to say if and when such a unit is ready to be introduced Parasound will do so formally, and that no one else can speak for them.

I only stated what I was told. I fabricated absolutely nothing...
My post stands as well.
Several days ago I asked Daltonlanny if we consider selling his P/LD 2000, since he had planned to buy the
JC-2. I asked him when he purchased the piece and he wrote back that he bought it several months ago. I Discovered a
post he wrote on Audiogon over a year ago that he owns a
P/LD 2000. That sure is more than several months ago. It has always been a strict policy by manufactuers in this industry never to disclose any info prior to production to
protect their design from competitors and to prevent a
consumer rush. Mr. Dalton needs to slow down and cool his hot temper. The JC-2 will have the features of the P/LD
2000 and thats it. The high end piece that is a prototype
for the JC-2 is far more expensive than the P/LD 2000 which is why the JC-2 will retail at least a thousand dollars more. Mr. Dalton is not a dealer and does not play
golf with Richard Schram. I would take his statements with
a grain of salt.
