Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10

I think that an amp that offers no feedback is far more accurate than one that doesn't. If your are seeking a very neutral amp that has the front end to support it, then I would strongly consider the Sim W-10's. I have heard that the Parasound is a good sounding amp, weather it has garnered the same International press as the Sim products is probably worth researching.I have had the pleasure of having a older W-5 in my system and was amazed at the sheer musicality that it offered.I also was shocked at the dynamics and the resolution it was capable of, it threw a soundstage that you could land the Enterprise on.The only concern is with the rest of your system, if it is on the hot side then you may not like what the Sim shows you.I hope that one day I may also own a powerhouse pair of monoblocks, since my speakers absorb quite readily. Hope this helps and good hunting-Dennis

I think you maybe right on the bass control but the Sim would take the cake in detail and resolution.All the reviews by the press indicate that this is the most natural sounding amp.I know that these amps have been compared to 20 to 30,000 dollar Lamns and competed very well.As far as the Parasound is concerned, I don't have any experience with them.I did hear my friends Sim w-5 limited edition and it set a new standard for transistor amps as well as tubes. It had the liquidity of tubes and the slam and resolution of solid state.I think that it would be a horse race between the Parasound and the sim, however, the winner would probably be chosen according to ones personnel priorities( bass,detail,dynamics,resolution.That is was makes us all so special-Dennis
