The biggest weakness of the PLd 2000 is the tinny power supply. Replace it with a big 400 watter, and the 2000 will come to life.
Parasound P/LD-2000, strengths and weaknesses?
As you may know I am putting together a relatively budget set-up for my basement.
A couple of friends turned me on to the Parasound P/LD-2000 linestage preamp, so I am purchasing a mint used one.
A freind said it shared some of the sonic qualities of the new Parasound Halo JC-2 preamp.
The new Parasound Halo JC-2 preamp is very intriguing, but it way out of my price range at the moment.
My questions are:
What are the Parasound P/LD-2000 preamps greatest sonic strengths compared to other solid-state preamps?
What are its weaknesses compared to other solid-state preamps?
In what ways, if any, is it sonically similar ro the JC-2 preamp?
In what ways is the JC-2 preamp sonically superior to the P/LD-2000?
Is the P/LD-2000 a total failure compared to the JC-2, or does it hold its own fairly well?
Thanks so much.
