    New Halo JC3 Junior

    Parasound has just introduced a new John Curl-designed phono preamp, the JC3 Junior, at about half the physical height and half the price (at just under $1,500) of their highly acclaimed JC3+ model. The new model includes switchable gain, and continuously variable loading for moving coil cartridges as well as numerous other features inspired by or inherited from its older brothers.

    They showed it at a recent consumer electronics show, CEDIA 2017, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3bYJ1uPCKiQ and some dealers are already featuring it as a new product but Parasound had not yet posted it on their product page at their own website as of October 8, 2017. However a cutsheet with pictures and product details is available at https://www.parasound.com/JC3%20jr%20Cut%20Sheet.pdf .

    What you DON'T say may be held against you...

    Nice looking unit. I would have purchased one of these because JC3+ was out of my budget. I currently have a Sutherland Insight which is the same price range as the Jr.

      This looks like a great value. With all the adjustability, I think it can really maximize the performance of a cartridge
      I would not discount the usefulness of this to make a system sound good.
      I would love to hear a comparison of the JC3 vs. the JC3 jr.

        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...
