Parasound halo JC2 what a joke
"Wow , my jc2 is 90* when it's off"...and there you go.....the sham is now exposed. 
Parasound halo JC2 what a joke
I can afford a brand new Caddy (which means exactly what?) but yet I bitch about a $175 repair to a $4500 product? So if some cheap ass plastic trim falls off your Cadillac and it costs you $500 is that worth a troll thread too? 
Parasound halo JC2 what a joke
This whole thing is becoming a joke. The OP is obviously a troll. Dissing the customer service, which those of us that own Parasound and have corresponded with them know is absolute bull, I'm beginning to dis-believe this entire glue story after h...

"I'm surprised with how hot the amps and preamps get that there aren't more failures"Great....more misinformation introduced to the thread. My A21 doesn't even get warm, even after playing for 10 hours straight, which it does quite often while pow...

"Keep in mind that the Parasound is a mass produced product made in Taiwan"Assembled in Taiwan would be more accurate.

...and as far as CS, not too many companies will you get a direct response from the owner himself, and promptly I might add.

I don't think just because a little glue may be used here and there necessarily affects the sound quality, which should be the determining factor anyway. Parasound makes some very nice sounding amps at a fraction of the cost of some of those menti...

I hate sending gear in, whether audio gear or guitars or even taking your car to a repair shop. Not everyone understands the obsession with cosmetic perfection unfortunately :^ / 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
One great thing about the GG's is that for the price you can get them for on the auctions, if you don't think they are better, you can easily get your money back, or at least very close to it, in resale value. Or take advantage of Steve's return p... 
Just looking to stream only
I don't know what the rest of your system looks like but for all you are asking I would just use a Squeezebox Touch/DAC combo or if you really want to spend more at least check out the new Cambridge Audio 851N first.

The A23 sold within about an hour....sorry....would have been a nice find. 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Not sure why these don't get more press. Both the Rapture and Reflection IC's are exceptional. At their auction prices they are ridiculous bargains.

Parasound A23 in the classifieds here for $400 shipped if you don't mind cosmetics. That's a $1000 amp new. 125wpc x 2 @ 8ohms, 200wpc x 2 @ 4ohms....It'll drive those buggers. 
Ching Cheng Power Cords
quoting Nonoise "I believe practically all manufacturers of high end gear, including Nelson Pass, put a basic power cord that meets all minimum safety requirements. It doesn't mean it's good enough."Exactly true. And the argument that a hi-end man...

"Also, for your reading pleasure: www.audioholics"Yep, you can find an article on the internet to back up just about any viewpoint you want on any subject you can think of. Just because it appears in print doesn't really mean much other than it's ...
