    A23 on/off

    As an about to be owner of an A23, I have two questions. How long is the typical break-in? If I choose to turn amp off when it's not being used, how long before things sound right?

    I have an old B&K ST-140 that if I turn it off overnight, things aren't smooth for two days.

      Things sound right out of the box. After 100-200 hours you may notice a slight improvement that maybe only 1 in 10 owners is able to hear.

              Hey, rybxyz, welcome to the Guide and Club Parasound! :banana:

              You won't have any problems after the unit being turned off. That does nothing to degrade the sound performance.

              Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

                  Biwiring Parasound C2 to Parasound A23
                  by MichiganMike
                  Someone posted on Audiogon.com that they experienced improved sound when connecting both balanced and unbalanced cables to input a Parasound A21 amp. I have a Parasound C2 preamp processor normally connected to a Parasound A23 amp using balanced cables in a 2 channel system. Since I had a spare set...

                  Parasound P3/A23 with Subwoofer?
                  by Audiognostic
                  I'm building a 2.1 system from scratch and recently picked up an A23 Demo. I was looking to add a matched P3, when I realized it has no bass management. Does anyone on this forum have experience using this combo with a subwoofer? How did you set it up, and how did you like the results? From what...

                  Halo A23
                  by Pookie007
                  Maybe this is a question that Peter can answer, but I have been playing around with my amps trying to figure out what to buy next. I have a couple A23 and was thinking about getting a third. I decided to use the pair bridged to mono to see how they performed on 2 channel audio on my B&W mains....
