Parasound JC-1 - How old is too old?


A local shop has a pair of JC-1s in on trade that I am considering. They are still checking with Parasound to determine when they were produced, but I'd like to hear from JC-1 owners (current or in the past) about their experience with these amps regarding long-term reliability. If anyone has re-capped their JC-1s, how old were they, and how much did it cost? Thanks for the help.

Hot enough that you would not want to keep your hand on the heat sink.

I measured them at high bias (28c ambient) at 55c, internal was the same, no problem for those excellent Japanese Nichicon Gold caps. So don’t worry OP buy them.

O...M...G! Did somebody just mistake me for George of the Jungle? Whoa, Daddy! 😦
