A good preamp for around $1000 for parasound JC1s
You can try to find a pre-owned Pass Labs X2.5 , not exactly your budget (1000.00 $USD) but closeI use the Pass X1 and the combo X1/JC1s is simply magical

I have the JC1s and I drive them with a Pass Labs X1 through Balanced inputs and IMHO it sounds better than unbalancedObviously I tried both

Jadis JA30 - Quad ESL63 .. 4,8 or 16ohms?
Well Guys .. it seems we are in consert to agree the best ohms taps for tube amps paired with Quads ESL63 are the 8ohms.Now we (me and Opera) are curious to know if you have experiences with OTL amps driving these speakers.We never listened or tri... 
Parasound JC 1 or Musical Fidelity KW 550?

Jadis JA30 - Quad ESL63 .. 4,8 or 16ohms?
Thanks Detlof .. what you wrote is the exact result my friend is getting with 4ohms JA30 setupI think too the 8ohms setting is the best because stays in the middle .. pratically he won't lose the grip on the low frequencies and won't lose the high...
