I know it is a very old model but does anyone know of any reviews or know the specifications of the HCA-1203A? There seems to be conflicting information concerning the size of the power transformer and the capacitance of this model as the manual states 1Kva and 60,000uF where as the specs on the website show 1.5Kva and 90,000uF. Anyone know for sure or checked the insides or anything. I checked inside mine but can't see the writing on the caps at all as they are all facing the wrong way. The information on the web on this amp seems pretty scarce. I even emailed Parasound support and they didn't know the specs because they didn't have one around anymore. Thanks very much for any help.

Does it matter?
Since it's an old unit it may have lost 20-30% of the original capacitance due to age... -
See two threads down where a similar quesion was asked. Manufacturers make parts changes during the lifetime of an amp's production run all the time, whether due to parts availability or to make modest design improvements. The greater power supply capacity should result in a modest increase in headroom at best. Even if your power supply is the smaller version, there is nothing you can really do about it. Just enjoy your amp and quit worrying.Originally posted by ThomasJ

Hi!
I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I also have some Parasound equipment in my system.
I have the HCA 3500 (350w x2) John Curl design
and the HCA 2205 (220w x5)
These amps are an excellent match for my Paradigm Studios and I
couldn't be... -
Parasound has put out a new press release on the JC-2. While you're over there, you may want to check out the rest of their PR website--lots of good info there. New stuff on the JC-2, pictures of the JC-2, D3, and other stuff in the "Photo Library", etc.

I am interested in buying Parasound Halo C2 on Audiogon
It is certainly 120 V US power supply
Is this no problem when I use 220/110 transformer to supply it /
many thanks to all

I just received my electricity bill for the two months and it was outrageous. I jsut got my parasound setup which consists of the C1 and A51 about 2 months ago, which was previously a denon avr4802r. Now I dont use the parasound anymore than I used the denon, but is it true that my parasound could be... -
I have a bunch of cable and 2.5mm/3.5mm plugs to spare since I dismantled my Parasound setup.
If anyone needs trigger cables, I can sell a 6' trig cable for $8 shipped (US continental, 1st class mail. Add $2 for priority mail). Add $0.50/foot (includes shipping).
I have...
