    Preamp for Parasound A21

    Hi,

    I read a lot of reviews about Parasound gears and I'm considering the A21 power amplifier. I'm wondering about the pre-amplifier to associate to A21. In order to have the best synergy between the two components, I will also consider a Parasound pre-amplifier. Actually, there are two options (for a stereo only configuration): P3 or JC2.

    The amplifier will be associated to B&W 802d speakers.

    Regarding the price of the A21 (2000 USD), is it worth investing 4000 USD for the JC2 pre-amplifier? It is said to be one of the best pre-amplifier, however it costs 5 times the P3.

    Did someone already heard this combo?

    Thanks for your help. Best regards

    Ligald

          A21 clearance

          Parasound A 21+ not turning on
          by rvr2000
          My 6 month old Parasound A21+ wouldn’t turn on.
          There was a loose contact in the main power board so it had to turn on and off abruptly twice.
          After that it is not turning on. When the technician checked the main fuse on the back, he said it needs to be replaced.
          Not sure if this...

          Parasound A21 and Paradigm 100 Studio v.3 = best choice?
          by saiko
          Now i have Paradigm 100 Studio V3 and integrate amp - Nad 320 (2 channel setup). It's not very well sound union, because this amp have too poor power and soap sound. Now i'd like to buy power amp for my acoustics. I will use it without preamplifier: from quality sound cart direct to power amp.
