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

Hi Rossman and others,
I do have the Parasound equipment in my system. I'm reasonably impressed. The equipment is very dynamic and open. Vocals seem float from the system. However I'm not detecting that last bit of harmonic bloom and richness that my current system has. The amps and pre have been on and "breaking in" with a break in CD for the last two weeks.
I'd think the units have settled, but maybe there is more to come?
Right now I have mixed feelings.
More to discover
