Parasound a21 upgrades
Right up my alley warm mids and non aggressive highs but also dynamic and tight with lots of headroom.What more can you want, John Curl's not an idiot, if he thought a "snake oil fuse" would make a difference for the better again he would have put it in. Don't listen to these "fuser twits" here, they have absolutely no idea, and that's about their technical skill limit, to change a fuse, so that's all they will do and comment on. Cheers George |
Ha ha says one twit . In a thread on Audio Asylum , we had a great discussion a few years back with Mr. Curl who said if given the choice he would've used silver fuses in the Halo amps, I used the Silver Star in my A21 and the results kicked up several notches in refinement across the spectrum , there was a reason I kept the A21 around for 12yrs , it just flat out sounded so good! |
I have been an A21 owner for about 9 years now, lthough I upgraded two years ago to a Plinius SA-103. It was almost three times the cost of a good used A21 at the time and still well under your future budget. Even though the SA-103 can be switched into full time Class A mode I still find myself listening in Class AB most of the time. It was a a worthy upgrade. I had been driving the A21 for those first 7 years with an Aesthetix Calypso. Last year I updated the Calypso to the Signature level along with a good set of NOS 60’s and 70’s tubes. I feel no desire or need to update either the amp or preamp. |
