JRDG Capri vs. Parasound JC-1

The JC-l is a 400 watt pwr amp, not a preamp. The Parasound preamp is a JC-2 which I happen to own. It replaced a McIntosh C-220 and I have never looked back and never been sorry for the change. Associated equipment is a Parasound A-21 power amp, which is IMHO one of the greatest buys in audio. I am driving a pair of Duntech Sovereigns which I have owned for almost 24 years. The JC-2 and the A-21 is a marriage made in heaven. By the way, the Parasound A-21 replaced a McIntosh MC-402 and in my system, the Parasound was superior in every respect.

Thanks, Soundlock. I know the difference between the amp and preamp. That was just a faux pas.
You've convinced me to open the sucker and see what's what. Do you happen to know if the A-23 is the same as the A-21? I know it's twice the power but I'm wondering if the performance is equivalent. I also have two A-23 amps.

Rowland sold. Parasound pending. Now what?

I want solid state preamp with at least 4 inputs. Remote is necessary. On board phono would be nice but not a deal breaker. Looking for ultra quiet, hi-rez and very refined product. Not sure about budget. Will probably buy used and can handle $2K, maybe more, depending on value proposition.

I take it you didn't like the JC-2? How did it compare to the Rowland?

Drubin, he did not like the Capri. Please read my email above where I predicted the result :-)

You can thank me later Macrojack ... ;-)
