Parasound HCA-2200?


Hello all,
 I have a chance to buy one really cheap, does anyone here have any experience with these, it's a mk-I, and I understand the mk-II preferred, is it worth $300? Or should I pass?
Thanks, Kent

I own a Parasound HCA 2200 and the matching preamplifier and tuner.  They have served me well in a Sanus rack system with KEF 104.2 speakers, a Parasound CD player and Teac cassette player/recorder).  I highly recommend Parasound products, and since purchasing them in the early 1990's the only repair if have needed was a broken front panel lever (my fault) on the preamplifier.  If you can get that amplifier for $300 it's a great deal, assuming it performs well.  I will probably be selling my Parasound components in the near future, hopefully together as they are great matches (I have used a Parasound DA converter to bring them "up to date")...I hope to get a little more for my AMP than this, so you are getting a good deal!  If you go for this deal, enjoy!!!
