Parasound JC-1 Questions

I have been considering these fine amps and need some advice from those who have been using them.

1.Does the amps performance suffer noticably if they are not left on 24-7? I would rather just turn them on an hour or two prior to serious listening.

2. When the amps are on (high bias) do they produce more heat than a Krell FPB mono block?

3.For those that currently own the JC-1's do you have any regrets with your choice (nothings perfect!)

All comments welcome!

Thanks for the response's, very helpfull and interesting.

I have read some old posts regarding the long break in period, 60 days of 24-7 is a long time to achieve consistant performance, but sounds like most agree the wait is worth it.

I am glad to hear the amps perform well after a hour or so of warm up, that makes the heat factor less of a concern for me.

Kevziek, when you had the bias lowered on the one of your amps, did you have to send it back to Parasound, or did you or your dealer make the adjustment?

I will probably check the bias after the 2 months of break in.
