Parasound JC3 or Ayre P-5xE

This thread has been inactive for over 18 months. Few seem to have listened to the JC-3 as of the last post. What's the current opinion? I've been looking for a JC-3, but perhaps I should also look for a P-5xe. I'll use either with an Ortofon SME 30H MM cartridge.

Thanks, Nnmusicman. The TT is a Thorens TD 124 with an SME 3009 Series III arm and Ortofon SME 30H cartridge. I haven't been a vinyl guy, but playing several $50 recordings on my cousin's high-end setup convinced me I should consider it. Then I found the arm and TT at a local shop, and was hooked on the iconic appearance. It sounds superb even with the Channel Island Audio phono stage, and I'd guess it will sound even better with one of the two phono stages I'm considering.
