    News on Phono Preamp (JC3?)?

    I have a JC2 preamp. Any news on when the John Curl designed phono pre-amp will be coming out?

    I currently have an Audio Research SP11 Mk2 pre-amp. Can I use the phono section of that pre and feed the output to the JC2? Is it possible to take the feed from the tape monitor out to bypass the volume control of the SP11?

      Are we sure the JC3 is a preamp? The Parasound guys did say that they were working on a reference Halo CD player, which could be a JC3. Or maybe they've incorporated that into their Blu-Ray player project.

          Apparently Richard showed the $2,000 JC3 phono pre at RMAF 2009.

              Oh, very cool link! And now we finally get the Z-CD that I've been asking for also, for several years, and it's SACD as well! :T

                      Taking vinyl LP playback via my Parasound JC3 yet another step up
                      by Burke Strickland
                      A while back, I added a Parasound JC3 phono preamp to my system. At the time, I was pleased with how well it worked with the JC2 BP line level preamp and JC1 mono block power amps to deliver truly enjoyable sound from vinyl LPs via my Magnepan 20.7 speakers.

                      Since then, I've heard demos...

                      What are you using for a Phono Preamp ???
                      by john4618
                      I just ordered a VPI Scout turntable which will be here next week.

                      I have the Parasound PPH-100 Phono Preamp but am being told that it is an entry-level unit and will be the “weak-link” in my system, and that a higher-end preamp is a "must" if I want to get full benefit...

                      by montana
                      :?:I purchased a Rotel RQ970BX phono preamp to use with my Shure MM cartdrige. Unfortunally the output gain on this phono preamp is very low at ablut 35db. I need to increase it to 40 to 42db. I understand that two resistors need to changed. Does anybody know what resistor need the change and to what...

                      by THX2468
                      Can someone briefly explain what phono stage mean and if I need a phono preamp please? I have the Sony DA5400ES with an amplifier Sony N9000ES at 200wtts per channel. Turntable is Sony PS-LX350H with an Audio Technica cartridge AT440MLa. I still feel that the sound is poor, if average volume on the...
