Simaudio Neo 400M vs. Parasound JC-1


I am interested in feedback on the Simaudio 400M monoblocks vs. the Parasound JC-1. The JC-1 is an older design that is very well known and loved. There is a lot less feedback on the 400M's (and Simaudio stuff in general), however, the few reviews I found said the 350P+400M sounds great.

I currently use a Simaudio 340i integrated amp with Monitor Audio PL300 speakers. I do like the 340i in general so I was thinking of a lateral move to the Simaudio 350P pre-amp in conjunction with the switch to monoblocks.

Any comments on the 400M's vs the JC1's ?

thanks

Hello,

I have had the combo you are asking about for about 3 years.. all i can say is.. POWER! they are great I rarly turned up the volume knob more than 1/4 range, sounded great with truly awesome headroom and super efficent rarly get beyond a little "warm"

I recently sold/ traded mine for the W8- and 740P combo.
you should be able to pick those up for a good price i only got 6k for all three pieces. (i should have kept as I got used to all the power, now i frequently have to have the power up about 1/2 range for same volume.

Im am a sim "fanboy" now any specific questions let me know!!
good luck and enjoy whatever you get.
