JC3+ Anyone?


Hey Folks,

Despite my current economic situation, I am seriouly considering replacing my GCPH with a JC3+. I am have a few intermittent issues that may be the GCPH. I have a DV P-75 mkII in the system for testing. And it is as I remember, somewhat lightweight but pretty good. Not nearly as refined as the GCPH and a weak bottom end. Does seem to have more large scale dynamics than the GCPH.

So back to the JC3+, anybody try one or have one? Fremer liked it but his taste leans more to detail than mine. I like detail but my idea of detail is hearing the leading edge as well as the body of the note/instrument.

I would be using a Kleos with the JC3+ and the JC3+ would be going via Cardas Nuetral XLR to a Classe CDP-500.

Hope y'all well and good,

Hi -

Not sure anyone is still paying attention, but I'll give it a try.  I am considering a move from a LehmannAudio Black Cube SE II to a Parasound JC3+.  Running a Thorens TD160 Super and a Dynavector 20x2L, with a Parasound Halo Integrated amp.  Hoping for a little more cartridge matching flexibility (the Black Cube can only be set at a gain of 56 or 66 for MC carts).  Good move?

Thanks to anyone who may be listening!
Thanks.  If you don't mind me asking, what other stages had you been using prior to the JC3+?
