anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp

I my source are DSC Puccini, Kuzma TT w/ JC3+, Marantz ND8006
All Kimber Select wiring.

So an update. Been playing with Bob Robbins@MySpeakerSetup (a revised version of "Sumiko Master Setting")
OMG what a difference it made. It open up and starting to hear those synergy at the top end.
maybe all the I needed is the speaker re-positiion.  LOL

I had a chance to audition the JC5 against a Parasound A21. The amps were driving Vandersteen Quatros. Not surprisingly, the JC5 produced sound that was more articulate, intense, and palpable than the A21. Liked the JC5. I also had a chance to compare the JC5 to the Audio Research VT80 SE, which is a couple of thousand more. I thought that the Audio Research amp sounded dark compared to the JC5, and produced bass that was less articulate.

The JC-5 is essentially 2 JC-1's in a single box. The JC-1 Mono's have been discontinued. You can bridge 2 JC-5's as mono blocks and get 1000 wpc.

Sad to see no high-bias mode on the JC-5.

They are not JC1s at all. John Curl has redesigned the amplifier and those that I trust who have heard the JC1 and JC5 have much preferred the latter amp. As far as I’m concerned I view the 5 as an upgrade to the 1. 

I am am sure they share similarities but it is a revised circuit.
