There is a reason the used 26s is the same price as a new JC2. Also, the 26s has already depreciated the JC2 will drop by 40% the day you take it home on the used market. Now granted I’ve not heard either, so in the end that’s your deciding factor. listening. But for my money i'd buy the Levinson and sell it at minimum loss if i didnt like it.
Parasound JC2 or Mark Levinson No 26s ?
Folks,
I will be very fortunate if someone has compared both these preamps side by side. But any information would be helpful at this stage.
I haven’t heard either of these preamps, nor can I get an audition. I need an honest preamp which doesn’t alter the spectral balance or sounds dryish in the pretext of neutrality. Both the Parasound JC2 and Levinson 26s are reputed for being honest to the source. I can get both for roughly the same price. JC2 new and 26s used. It will drive my tube amps which powers my Tannoy Turnberry SE speakers. Source is all analog.
Sonically, which one would you suggest to go with?
