sakabatou Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Item: Parasound JC-2 Preamp (black) Location: Adelaide Price: $3200 negotiable (ORP $9k) Item Condition: Excellent - 1 scuff mark (see close up photo) Reason for selling: change in direction Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Bank transfer Extra Info: This rare black JC-2 (not BP) was purchased ex-demo in April, with 2 years factory warranty - ie warranty until April 2021 Aside from the small mark on the upper facia above the volume control, it is flawless. The remote, on the other hand is a different story. While perfectly functional, It suffered from the usual breakdown of the rubberised coating, which has been stripped away (along with a couple of chips of paint). New replacement remotes are purchasable, or it will function just fine with a universal remote. Designed by John Curl, and part of the "Halo" series, it is a cut above Parasound's more recent preamps. Its successor, the JC-2 BP (just HT bypass added) was on Stereophile's Class A recommended preamp list until this year. https://www.stereophile.com/solidpreamps/308para/index.html https://www.stereophile.com/content/recommended-components-2019-edition-preamplifiers It was shipped to me with good, but ad hoc packaging, arriving unharmed, but a local sale is preferred. Thanks for looking Edited November 8, 2019 by sakabatou re-sorting pics
AlurkA Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Fantastic Pre having owned one. These can be modified and have the HT Bypass functionality added, should someone be considering this. GLWTS 1
