Parasound New Classic

Parasound’s mission is to put great sound into stunning packages, priced magnitudes lower than any competitor. The results have been clear: Parasound products have won best-in-class awards in the most popular audiophile publications year after year. Our design and manufacturing partners have stayed to work with us for decades. We receive unsolicited appreciation emails from customers nearly every day. Every shipped product and answered phone call represents our commitment to outstanding performance, reliability, value, and customer support.

In an industry where the term “value” seems to have taken on an almost comical elasticity, the JC1 and JC2 are definitely the real deal – in every sense. HiFi+

The price of purchase of this quality of sound is unexpectedly modest. [Circuit Designer] John Curl is not being arrogant when he says that he can’t think of components that give better bang for the buck than the ones he’s designed for Parasound. Soundstage Access

In the complicated landscape of audio, many companies put stratospheric price tags on great performance. Our mission couldn’t be more different. Simply put, we offer the most performance for the money by finding the sweetest spot between price and diminishing returns. We’ve all been on the consumer side: music lovers, musicians, and audio enthusiasts looking for top-tier sound without breaking the bank.

Everything we do at Parasound is customer-centric because that’s how we define value. Most of our customers don’t have trust funds and have to work for their money — so we give them their money’s worth and then some. Every time another expert compares our product to equipment that costs three times as much, we have succeeded.

  • NewClassic 200 Integrated Amplifier & DAC

    The NewClassic 200 Integrated is the latest addition to Parasound's new range of affordable, high performance products. The heart of the 200 Pre is a versatile analogue signal path which includes analogue bass management with high-pass and low-pass outputs. The 200 Integrated also uses the same Burr-Brown 192kHz-24 bit DAC found in the Halo P5 to enable USB, and optical and coaxial digital audio inputs.

    The 200 Integrated has a phono input (MM/MC), two line inputs, theatre bypass for L, R and two subs, digital USB, coaxial and optical inputs and a front panel auxiliary line level input with 12dB of gain for portable devices. The bass management circuit includes a variable 20–140Hz high-pass crossover, an 80Hz low-pass subwoofer output and a full range subwoofer output. Subwoofer switching and level is able to be managed via remote control. The NewClassic 200 Integrated has both default and programmed turn-on volume levels, plus input level matching. It also comes with a dedicated headphone amplifier.

  • New Classic 275 v2 Stereo Power Amplifier

    At the heart of the New Classic 275 V2 is a powerful 90wpc into 8 ohms that can also drive 4 and 2 ohm loads with ease with a peak current capability of 20 amps. A minor wonder in such a compact chassis. A useful assortment of configuration options allows for two sets of speakers, driven separately or together, bridge mode (200watts) and all the required inputs and outputs to allow for custom installations. The 275 V2 power amp is perhaps Parasound's most affordable, powerful and versatile product yet.

  • Zphono XRM

    The Zphono XRM is an extremely well thought out phono stage. As well as both balanced and single ended outputs it features separate MM and MC inputs, both with adjustable gain. The nicest touch is the variable MC impedance control which allows for easy and precise loading for those high achieving moving coil cartridges.  It doesn't end there, the unit also features a mono-stereo switch and low frequency rumble filter for those less than pristine LPs.

    A neat, high performance and versatile little phono stage. A step up from entry level but still easily affordable. Highly recommended. We have one on demo.

       
  • Parasound Zphono

    The Parasound Zphono is an well thought out entry phono stage. Single ended (RCA) inputs and outputs, able to handle both MM and MC cartridges. Unusual for an entry level phono stage is the lack of the wall wart power supply. This unit takes it's power full strength, via the usual IEC socket. A reversible AC polarity switch helps with any system miss-match that can induce mains hum.

    A neat, high performance and versatile entry level phono stage. Highly recommended. We have one on demo.
