Compare Parasound 2100 vs. Parasound P3 preamps

I recently sold a P3 Halo preamp because the phono section was just so-so. I now have an opportunity to purchase a used Parasound 2100.

Does anyone know if performance of the 2100 phono section is sonically better than the P3? I have a Parasound 2200 power amp pushing a pair of B&W Nautilus 802 and occasionally a pair of B&W 803S. I just love the combination. I currently use a McCormack TLC-1 as preamp.

I am looking at the Parasound 2100 for use with my turntable.

Jorgeparrapuppy, sorry but I don't remember the details because it was a while ago. He recommended the P7 when he learned that I was most interested in sound quality in a 2 channel rig as it has better parts, design, etc. More money, naturally! I ended up downsizing to an integrated by Wyred4Sound instead but never got the chance to audition the P7.

Bizango: Thanks for the response. And I apologize for hijacking the thread. How do you like your integrated?

"Therefore the 2100 is a much better preamp, phono section and all, than the P3."

Wow, I wonder if they are going to update the P3. I heard that Parasound is working on a Halo integrated amp.
