I had a chance to audition the JC5
against a Parasound A21. The amps were driving Vandersteen Quatros. Not surprisingly, the JC5 produced sound that was more
articulate, intense, and palpable than the A21. Liked the JC5. I also had a chance to
compare the JC5 to the Audio Research VT80 SE, which is a couple of thousand more. I thought that the Audio Research amp sounded dark compared
to the JC5, and produced bass that was less articulate.
anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp
Just checking in to see others user impressions, is it the same as mines.
I running JC-2BP + JC-5 on SF Elipsa SE.
I find it has a lot of control on the lower send. Low level listening is wonderful.
I just don't find the top end to sparkle or open up. though it is very neutral sounding.
I have about 175 hours on both JC's units. maybe need break-in time?
