Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10

The JC-1s are good. On a demanding speaker, however, they must be run in low bias mode, which does sacrifice some sound quality.

My apologies Krevzeik. Daltonlanny, you are correct. I meant to direct my comments to MahanDave.

As an owner of a pair of JC1's which I run through a Moon P-5 pre, I would have to say that you have no idea about the JC1. Please open the top of one of these and see for yourself whats inside before rushing in to comment about them!

Since I already had the Moon P-5 pre before I bought the JC1, I naturally looked at Moon Power Amps. Having chosen the JC1 over the W6 should indicate the quality of the JC1's. In fact most magazines, including Stereophile who gave JC1's a fab review don't even have any ads endorsed by Parasound in their magazines. This should also be indicative to the build quality of these amps & their sound. Go ahead hear them have a look and then you are more than welcome to comment!!

Nothing wrong with the build quality of the JC-1! It is nothing short of amazing to get the parts quality inside that those bad boys (for the money or any other way you want to express that)exibit. I have seen a lot worse out of some much more expensive products.
I didn't warm up to the amps (but it could have been an issue with breakin, want deny that) but they were a couple of the best built amps I have seen.

Gladstone, I run my JC-1s in high bias 24/7 and have for a couple years for both my Rockports (an easy load) and my Sound Lab M-1s (tough load) and curious what speakers are a tougher load than the Sound Labs? I chose the parts in the units and will say that those cheap Superior Electric posts cost five times as much as what is normally used by Parasound, are the originals that everyone copied and eat things like the WBT, Edison Price and Cardas binding posts. They were chosen for their performance, not their pricing. The JC-1 is what it is, a very powerful amplifier that can be machine built in Taiwan using specified parts that also sounds very good.........Sure we could do better if the retail pricing was 25K/pr........
