I picked up a Parasound JC3+ and am really happy with the sound. I am using Constellation amp and line-stage. I wanted a good quality phono preamp and was looking at Constellation. While researching the history of the design I discovered that John Curl designed the Constellation phono stage. He also designed the JC3+. I am not saying the Parasound is necessarily as good as the Constellation pre, however, based on the cost delta I am very pleased with the sound and flexibility of the unit. So far, very natural sound and it plays well with my other components.
Researching Preamps
I currently have a Quicksilver Line stage preamp for the last 15 years. I am getting back into vinyl and would like a built in phono stage and am looking to upgrade to the next stage as finances allow it but aren't unlimited . It has to be tubed, please send me your suggestions and I will do the research .
My system is 2 mc75 mono amps refbished the quicksilver and Jolida glass dac III, magnepan mg IIIa's and a luxman cd Player (old).
Thanks
Mike
