@ja_kub_sz Hope all is well with you. I wanted to see if you ended up getting more time with the JC1+ and have feedback to share about the differences of those versus the JC5?
New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!!
Those trying to get the old JC1’s cheaper may want to wait as these new ones should reduce the price of the old one used. And look at these babies do current
Old Model New Model
- 400 → 450 Watts @ 8Ω
- 800 → 850 Watts @ 4Ω
- 1200 → 1300 Watts @ 2Ω
- Peak current: 135 → 180 amps

@ja_kub_sz A good deal certainly never hurts! One great thing about buying used and smart is break in is done for you. |
@ja_kub_sz Well I have Focal Kanta 3s and spent a lot of time with Sopras, so similar house sound so your thoughts are even more helpful. Thank you for that, I guess the upgrade itch is always there to an extent hence my curiosity. |
@ja_kub_sz For 2 channel listening, no subs yet. For the rest of the setup, Lumin U1 streamer w/ X1 PSU, Denafrips Terminator+ DAC, Pass Labs XP22 pre, various GIK room treatments, and very good cabling. It's a great system, but as we know, the curiosity of improvement is there. As it sits, I'm extremely happy with only certain areas that in my imagination could be improved slightly mainly in bit more midrange and a more refined high frequency response (but not veer into harshness).
Purely off price alone, the JC5 is the cheapest part of the whole system by quite a margin not that it necessarily means a lot. I'm also considering Coda 16 as another top amp contender. The challenge is in my area, all the dealers I've visited do not allow home demos no matter the brand. |
