    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

      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...
