anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp

Just checking in to see others user impressions, is it the same as mines.

I running JC-2BP + JC-5 on SF Elipsa SE.

I find it has a lot of control on the lower send.  Low level listening is wonderful.
I just don't find the top end to sparkle or open up.   though it is very neutral sounding.  
I have about 175 hours on both JC's units.    maybe need break-in time?

Hi auxinput, it sounds like you have had a number of amps.  Which amps in your opinion have it all, good bass, mids and treble (resolution)?  Thanks

Hi auxinput, thanks for the detailed explanation of the virtues of the amps that you have provided.  In musical preferences I am most sensitive to a too bright presentation and this will make or break a system for me.  Even though my speakers have soft dome tweeters, I still think having an amp that slightly rolls off the high end is my preference.  I am not sure if that is what you are referring to as a "creamy" sound.   

I am currently evaluating a Parasound A21+ in my system and at this point I am loving it.  But I need to decide to keep it or not soon and so far I am leaning towards keeping it.  It doesn't hurt that I did get a bit of deal on it.
