Parasound Halo JC-1 and JC-2 How good are they?


Calling all Halo users. What amps/preamps have you auditioned these against? How do they really compare to Krell, Levinson, Plinius, Ayre, and the usual cast of characters?
I'm very interested and would like to know your experiences with this equipment.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Sorry still no JC-2...I agree with Rossman on the quality and price of the JC-1s, but add another 500hrs of break-in time. I used a Pass labs X-1 pre for 1 1/2 yrs.with really good results. When I upgraded to a Pass Labs X-0.2....WOW! I have read about the synergy between the Parasound products...but with my setup the X-0.2 turned good into great. I wish I had the 0.2 when I had my Pass XA-160s.
