Parasound P/LD-2000 or Halo P-3 Preamp


Has anyone compared the P/LD-2000 preamp against
the Halo P-3 preamp? Which is better?

King_tut,
I know the answer to this thread well, as I have extensively compared them.
Unfortunately, I will not tell you anything for 3 reasons:
1. You question my hearing abilities.
2. You make me out to be a liar.
3. Your smart ass attitude towards me.
If you are in so big with the "Parasound boys" or "play golf with Richard Schram" like you claimed in another Parasound P/LD-2000 thread, why don't you ask them?
While the P-3 is a good preamp for the money and maybe alittle above, the P/LD-2000 has quite a bit better midrange detail, high frequency extension, bass extension and power, and better dynamics than the P-3. The 2000 also has better soundstaging and spaciousness than the P-3.
The P-3 is a slightly smoother and more laid-back sounding preamp, but the 2000 is more detailed top to bottom, IMHO, and in my system. Results may vary in other systems.
