Has anyone heard the new Parasound Halo preamp?


How does this unit compare with other preamps under $1000?

I've had the P3 for about a month now and have been very happy with the sound. My goal was to get a preamp with a remote and phono stage for under $1000. I look at a lot of used stuff here but most did not have the remote capabilites. I auditioned the NAD and Myryad (although the myryad did not have the phono) and this easily sounded the best. The P3 replaced a denon 3300 being used as a pre-amp feeding a pair of Outlaw m-200 monoblocks and Paradigm Studio 20's. The nice part of the P3 is that is has 2 direct connects that bypass the tone circuitry. I found these much cleaner than the other connections for the CD. Listening to the into of Roger Waters, Amused to death, the background dialog went from slightly above/left of the front left speaker to behind my left ear. I was a happy camper.
