Nice job on the JC-1's. Enjoy them!
Parasound Halo JC1s
Hello Guys,
Finally I have at home the two monos Parasound Halo JC1 and they are singing from last monday
Well , I have been really surprised about their sound
Since the first sight they look like two tanks , heavy silver big boxes .. emanating brute power
No way! They sound completely different from thei look
When they sound they remind you to the tubes but good tubes!
Not 6550 and not KT88 but I mean the old triodes with high frequencies very wide and extencive but always refined and thin , absolutely no grainy and with an incredible thickness like you're listening a tiny triode and not a brute SS
Bass is very tight , tuneful and deep , the control of my Thiel 2.4 is perfect
The marriage with my Pass Labs X1 is perfect too and its incredible amount of detail at low level is shown by the Halos without losing one note
Now I have only to work to find a good balanced cable to connect the X1 to JC1s .. by now I'm using my old Transparent Music Link Reference RCA but I think a good balanced cable would work better than the RCA on these monos.
The only problem I'm having is the enormus amount of heat the JC1 exhale , and now in Italy we are running our normal 35/38 C° , surely the JC1s are a good choice in winter as additional radiators in the living room
My cent!
Curio
