PARASOUND HALO JC3+ PHONO PREAMPLIFIER - REVIEW
The Parasound JC3+ is not entry level, but at a buck under $3200, it is a stone cold bargain. Finding fault with the sonics and build is a fool’s errand. If you want pure solid state, accurate vinyl playback, the JC3+ is a standard bearer. If you want colored sound, tube flabbiness, or audio jewellery, look elsewhere. If you have spent upwards of ten grand on your turntable and cartridge, the JC3+ is a must audition.
AUDIO HUNGARY QUALITON PHONO PREAMPLIFIER - PREVIEW
Audio Hungary made quite an impression on us with their X200 tubed integrated amplifier. We were eager to hear more of the company’s products. The Qualiton tubed phono stage arrived to satisfy that desire. Our review unit came smartly finished in polished stainless steel, and features an outboard power supply. The unit retails for $5000.
