Anyone hear both Parasound JC-2 and Pass XP10?

I just listened to an XP-20 for a few days in my system and should have a JC-2 to listen to in early June. I will try to post some thoughts.

FWIW, the XP-20 was extremely clean with a very black background. I thought it was well balanced and really added very little to the overall sound of my system - which is a good thing. I didn't find any issues with the XP-20 and thought it was also well built and feature laden.

That being said, when I put back in my Plinius M8 preamp, I didn't feel that my system's performance had a dramatic drop. This surprised me since I felt that the Pass XP-20 was better than the M8 when going down the "audiophile checklist".

Thanks George. I'll be real interested in what you think of the Parasound.

Tony,

Have forgotten you, work has just been very busy and I haven't yet listened to the JC2.

It might not happen till July.
