anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp

Just checking in to see others user impressions, is it the same as mines.

I running JC-2BP + JC-5 on SF Elipsa SE.

I find it has a lot of control on the lower send.  Low level listening is wonderful.
I just don't find the top end to sparkle or open up.   though it is very neutral sounding.  
I have about 175 hours on both JC's units.    maybe need break-in time?

I find the Elipsa to be rolled off on the top end some. Maybe it's showcasing more of the speaker's characteristics? What is the rest of the system?

From what I've been told the JC5 is a musical sounding amp which differs a bit from their other offerings in the Halo line, which are more neutral. It could be that you like more jolt on the top end to synergize with the Elipsa's very smooth top end.

I my source are DSC Puccini, Kuzma TT w/ JC3+, Marantz ND8006
All Kimber Select wiring.

So an update. Been playing with Bob Robbins@MySpeakerSetup (a revised version of "Sumiko Master Setting")
OMG what a difference it made. It open up and starting to hear those synergy at the top end.
maybe all the I needed is the speaker re-positiion.  LOL
