Reviews
"Parasound manages to reproduce the essence of the vast majority of commercial recordings and various genres on CD or the stereo audio tracks on DVD or BluRay that would satisfy even the most demanding listener. I think the audience appreciated the especially strong, dynamic sound with superb control of bass at all volume levels and an imperceptible loss of the finest details on several audiophile SACDs."
-Hifi Voice
"I really enjoyed the time I spent with the Parasound NewClassic 200 Pre. I consider its $999 price a bargain for what proved to be a wonderful preamplifier..." "Meanwhile the Parasound NewClassic 200 Pre preamplifier is highly recommended and would be a nice centerpiece for anyone putting together a system where a feature-rich preamp in the $1,000 price range, or even well above that is desired." "I would say the 200 Pre is great for music lovers, getting out of the way and letting the music shine through."
-Dagogo
"The NewClassic 200 PRE is incredible, especially for the price. Highly recommended. You will get much more than you think you paid for."
-Audio Beatnik
"Parasound's 200 Integrated is not just all of these but also audiophile and adaptable enough to get all the music out of your music, and all the functionality out of your system."
-Sound & Vision
"With the NewClassic 200 Integrated, Parasound has done a masterful job of blending a quality pre-amp with a sweet-sounding amp section. It's neutral and transparent sound will make any speaker you hook up to it sound amazing!"
-Hi-Fi Trends
"The Halo JC 5 stereo power amplifier was developed in collaboration with legendary audio designer John Curl. It is designed without compromise for exacting musical reproduction. With its exquisite performance and compelling value, the JC 5 is the new 'amplifier benchmark.'"
-Input Audio
"The JC 5 plays whatever you want the way it was meant to be played. For Parasound to have such stringent design criteria on the JC 5 is impressive indeed. Like its big brother, the original JC 1, the Parasound JC 5 is a stunning amplifier."
-Home Theater
"Having heard the JC 5, I realize that it's worth every penny. Its sound delighted me in ways that few other components ever have. By any measure, the Halo JC 5 is a superb power amplifier. I can't recommend Parasound's Halo JC 5 highly enough."
-Soundstage
"Unerringly clean and crisp, modern-sounding design that remains fully able to communicate the alluring sound of vinyl replay, imparting the inherent flavor of a recording with consummate ease."
-AV Tech
"Outstanding-amongst the best. The soundstage was tight and honed, delivery was crisp, precise and accurate... forceful and exciting. Vocals were nothing less than haunting, while the low noise design offered a clean and open presentation." Five Globes.
-Hi-Fi World
"Parasound's Halo JC 2 BP preamplifier is the pinnacle of analog audio technology. There are no compromises in its superb design or the quality of its component parts. In the 40 years I've been involved in HiFi, I've never heard such natural and defined musical reproduction."
-Input Audio
"The Halo A 31 has a clear, detailed sound that belies its price, combined with just a touch of warmth. This blend of qualities made it a joy to listen to. Add to that its prodigious power output and rock-solid build quality, and I can assure you: It's the real deal."
-Soundstage
"AAA Recommended Component - "I expected the A 51 to sound good. What I wasn't prepared for was how good it sounded right out of the box. Its midrange was totally seductive, its soundstaging and imaging abilities in the same league as some of the best gear I've ever heard at any price."
-Stereophile
"Parasound hat mit der Kombination C 1/A 51 eine echte Alternative zu den Boliden von Lexicon und Tag McLaren geschaffen..." "Insgesamt also eine fantastische Vorstellun." - Michael Nothnagel
-AudioVision
"If you are pursuing a cost-effective multi-channel amplifier, the A 52+ is a trust-worthy great value five-channel amplifier that worth having!"
-HiFi Review
"The P 6's sonic performance punches well above its price point. With its ability to render tremendous amounts of detail, excellent build quality, impressive DAC and bass management, the P 6 is a no-brainer for anyone shopping for a digitally enabled preamplifier."
-Home Theater Review
"Together, the Parasound P 6 and A 23+ are dynamite. Pure sonic magic with brilliant dynamics, delicious midrange and impressive resolution. To get such good sound for the price of this duo seems almost unnatural. One incredibly appealing preamp-amplifier package from Parasound."
-Stereo+
"There is a lot to like in the reasonably-priced Parasound HALO A 23+ stereo amplifier. It is stylish, packs sufficient amplification power, and delivers solid high-fidelity sonic performance."
-Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity
"The new Parasound A 21+ was impossible to fault... remarkably powerful, transparent and quiet. Anyone in the market for a stereo power amp would be well advised to consider the Parasound A 21+, especially those who believe that they must spend more."
-Stereophile
"I can't tell you how many receivers I rejected for purchase in my youthful days because I could hear the tuner, tape, phono, cd, leaking thru to the selected source. The Parasound Halo P6 is absent this evil via all sources."
