New Linear Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks, an even more improved new John Curl design


The good old linear Halo JC1’s monoblocks were released 2003 and were one of the best and could drive anything without a sweat, even the Wilson Alexia with 0.9ohm loading.
These new linear JC1+ monoblocks have some very good improvements, and even better drive ability than the old.
At $17k not exactly cheap, but probably better than any others amp around that pricing.
Enjoy.

Listening to music is very therapeutic for me especially given the
tulmultuous world we now live in.    Just relax and enjoy the tunes!
Hypex NC1200 amp module does 1200 watts into 2 ohms
Please please! show "independent" testing of the rms wattage’s for 8ohm, 4ohm, and 2ohm loading, that will show, instead of this smoke screen you’ve thrown up.

Here are just from 8ohm to 4ohm hardly doubling
Power rating (per channel)
620W @ 8ohm
700W @ 4ohm
no mention of 2ohm loading wattages

Then for something else, there’s the phase shift down into the audio band. https://ibb.co/Wp8qnKp

No smoke screen....just the published numbers. I mean, who cares if it only does 1100 watts into 2 ohms at 1% distortion? Still plenty of power for 95% plus of the high end speakers. The only thing that matters is how it sounds and will it drive a particular speaker to the levels you want.

Your audio phase shift measurement for the IceEdge module means nothing (already pointed out time and time again) and it is not even for this particular amp module. You are confused. This is the Hypex NC 1200 module....not the IceEdge 1200AS1/2 module that I am referring to. What you quoted above was for the IceEdge module.

Please people, listen for yourself!.....do not trust anyone’s opinion about anything....including mine.

By the way, I measured 1000 watts into 2 ohms with the mono IceEdge 1200AS1 module (The mono modules are the ones I used in my amps). The stereo module (1200AS2) puts out less power into low impedances as there is just one power supply for both channels.
