Acurus or Parasound


Greetings fellow Audiogoners!

Looking to buy either a Parasound HCA 2200II or an Acurus A250...which is the better buy and why?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

I have a Parasound HCA-2200 Mk2, it has a right channel hum and has been that way for over 8 years. I tried to tighten the external screws, but still have the hum. The amplifier did handle my Kappa 8 speakers, notorious for eating amplifiers and now, needing only one pair of big speakers, I use it to power my Infinity RSIIB bass, never using its full capacity, but the hum is annoying.

I never liked the Acurus and having moved down from Threshold and Krell, I think the Parasound is a real bargain!
