Parasound A21 vs Parasound HCA-3500?


Has anyone out there owned both of these amps or compared them to one another?
If so, what are the sonic differences?
Which one is sonically superior overall, and in what ways?
Thanks!

I just sold my parasound 3500 and replaced it with clayton audio m70 class a monoblocks. I personally didn't care for the sound. I haven't had a a21 but I assume it's got the same parasound house sound....good bass, transparency but somewhat etched and grainy sounding. I was and I am currently driving thiel 3.6 with a levinson No. 39 cd processor thorough a meridian 502 pre amp with cardas neutral reference cables(revealing system). So the flaws of the parasound where multiplied even more so. What is the rest of your system makeup?
