Parasound P/LD-2000


I have an opportunity to purchase a used Parasound P/LD-2000 preamp. Does anyone have some insight on this unit? I can't seem to find too much information on this pre.

Another note:
Parasound is currently working on another preamp based heavily on the P/LD-2000, that uses even higher quality parts and better circuit lay-outs. It will be called the JC-2. It was designed by CTC Builders...John Curl, Bob Crump, and Carl Thompson, the guys who designed the JC-1 monoblocks. The P/LD-2000 was used as a prototype to design the JC-2.
According to Parasound, it should be available late this year or early next year.
Daltonlanny, there are several inaccuracies in your post. Parasound has not said anything of the sort. I should know since I'm a Parasound Halo dealer.

Dear Mr. Walsh,
I am going by what both Bob Crump and Richard Schram told me in emails to me personally!
Are you saying that they are liars, or that I am a liar?
I do not appreciate your tone.
Daltonlanny, I suggest what happens in Las Vegas stays there until the unit is introduced. Yes the unit is being designed by CTC, but it is a long way from production. We were contracted by Parasound well over a year ago, but things are not moving very fast..........It will become a product when it is finished, not before........

Hey Brian Walsh, what so called inaccuracies are you referring to in daltonlannys post?
I have been told the exact same things in various emails by Schram, Crump, and others.
Mr. Schram personally told me in an email that they were still getting the prototype JC-2 ready for production, and hopefully the JC-2 would be ready for sale late this year or early next year. He and Crump said that it is indeed designed by CTC Builders as well.
Mr. Crump has also told me in a past e-mail that the Parasound P/LD-2000 was being used as a prototype for the JC-2, and that the JC-2 prototype looked very similar to the P/LD-2000 on the inside.
He also said the JC-2 would be an all FET, dual-mono, Class A, design with higher quality parts and circuit layouts than the 2000.
He said he would voice the final prototype, and it would have a similar voice as the JC-1 monoblock amps.
I do not see any innaccuracies in daltonlannys post at all, unless the info that I and he were given was also false?
Thanks,
Angela
