Experience with Parasound P5?


I I have been looking at a pre upgrade for my main system of AcurusR11, McIntosh MC250 with upgrades/ATI 1502, Sony Sa5400cdp, Ohm Walsh 2-100S3, Squeezebox. I have never had a more modern pre with these amps and I have heard consistently that the pre is a weakness. I have a chance to get a NIB Parasound P5 for a really good price from a dealer on the Mainland so no chance to test it. Wanted to see if others have heard or bought this unit and their thoughts as to quality, impact or if anyone has used it it's a similar amp.

I listened to one in my system.  It's pretty good.  It has a lighter, slightly delicate character, but it spotlights the highs.  Creates decent space, and very good width, and it is very musical.

Hope that helps.

I second the P7 recommend.  I own one, and at used prices, I think it's an upgrade from the P5.
