I am more apt to believe Erik’s comment than the “age of the product”. It is likely that the market share for JC1 is pretty small because of the cost of the amp. They likely made a decision to drop the item from their lineup because nor people are likely to buy the lower cost amps.
Why did Parasound discontinue the Halo JC-1 monoblock amplifiers?

I am relatively new to this era of audio, but I find myself drawn to monoblock amps. From what I read, I should experience the Parasound Halo JC-1 monoblocks. You know, the amplifiers that remained on Stereophile's A list for 18 or 19 years? I see them come up for sale at a relatively reasonable price, in the $4K - $5K range. I am debating about trying them versus purchasing the Moon by SimAudio 400M monoblocks new. Currently, I'm streaming Tidal and Qobuz using the SimAudio 390D streamer/DAC/pre into Kinki Studios EX B7 monoblocks, with GoldenEar Triton One loudspeakers. End game will be Wilson Audio Yvette unless something else comes along before I can bring myself to spend this much on a pair of speakers. Thanks for your responses.
