Parasound HCA-1000A 2-Channel Power Amplifier Model: HCA-1000A Price: $445.99 + $54.99 flat-rate ground shipping to US mainland states only Description:Refurbished/Serviced -- See NOTES below for services performedTested after service and working very wellCosmetic condition is exactly as seen in pictures -- some minor marks and scratches due to use and ageAn electronic copy of the users manual will be emailed to the buyer after completion of purchase, if requestedAll work performed by the techs at MC Mobile, Thousand Oaks, CAFeel free to ask questions before purchase, and keep in mind that this amp will be quite different than an unserviced amp of this model. This amp is ready again for prime time. NOTES: These are very nice sounding amps, but almost 30 years old. All of them we have seen need servced even if they are working due to their age and other issues. These amps have complimentary JFET input stages, and good, authentic, P-channel JFETs are now hard to find. Hence, these amps should be serviced before a failure that willl cause the JFETs to fail. 1. Replaced failed, 10A, rectifier bridge with heavier duty 25A bridge2, Replaced 3 blown internal fuses3. Replaced numerous failing caps with high ESR4. Cleaned level controls and swtiches5. Corrected factory mistake in the current overload indicator circuit causing erronious illumination (see NOTE 1 below)6. Set bias so that there is no visible notch distortion at 20 KHz on our scope7. Checked output stage current balance8. Measured power output at 1 KHz into 8 Ohms, one channel driven, and measured the output power at a healthy 166 W/ch RMS with good top to bottom symmetry9. Measured frequency response from 100 Hz to 10 KHz for both channels, and found the response to be very flat with a slight increase at 10 kHz10. Checked short circuit protection and DC protection circuits11. Checked bridging (mono) function -- See NOTE 2 below NOTE 1 : We modify their circuits, so that this amp works in this fashion. If there is a short circuit at the ouput, the protection relay trips out, and the current overload LED illuminates for the appropriate channel. If there is high DC at the output, the protection relay trips out, and the red standby LED illiminates. There is a provision from the factory, that was internally defeated on this amp, to have both the current overload and standby LEDs illuminate for high DC at the output. We thought this was more confusing, so we left it as decribed above. We changed the current overload protection LEDs to also indicate clipping. If this amp is driven into clip, the overload LEDs will illuminate faintly and become brigher as the clipping worsens. Hence, if the current overload LEDs light, the amp is being driven too hard or there is a short. The protection relay will not trip if this amps clips. This is different than what the user manual states; this is just a bonus in this amp. NOTE 2 : This amp can be bridged to mono, and the bridging works. We replaced the supply caps to the op amps that handle this function, so all is well. However, we are not a fan of the bridging for multiple reasons. The amps sound better when used as stereo amps, so it is best to buy a monoblock amp if one wants more single channel clean power.Also, folks get into trouble with hookups and impedance in bridged mode.

All that’s missing is the popcorn when you install the Parasound HCA-1000A 2-channel power amplifier. A terrific complement to any home theater setup, the amp uses THX sound to bring the music to the forefront and enhance every note. It creates a wall of sound that will make you feel like you are actually a part of the movie. Simple to install, it has an easy on/off switch that makes it a snap to use in any arrangement that fits with your existing equipment. Independent power supplies for channels and 500-watt Parasound technology offering circuit protection make the device a natural choice for home cinema systems. The amplifier features a design focused on high current/high bias. The frequency range of this unit is 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. That is driven by either 125 watts RMS or 200 watts RMS based on specifications of 8 ohms and 4 ohms, respectively. This product features circuitry designed by John Curl, which means that the internal circuitry binds everything together for smooth power. The 5-way speaker binding posts facilitating bi-wiring cables and internal mechanics are gold plated. They are designed to ensure that no capacitors or inductors interfere with the signal current. In addition, an independent power supply for each channel is enhanced by separate secondary wirings for each channel. In simple terminology, it means that the HCA-1000A is not only extremely durable but any temporary problems in signal can be rectified easily and quickly. This Parasound product shows outstanding performance when connected to a single pair of speakers. However, you can also use the multipair installation switch to have this amplifier run two sets of speakers in different locations. The original product from the manufacturer comes with an adjustable two-rack space height front panel and an optional rack-mounting adapter.The outstanding audio quality of these Parasound amplifiers reflects exceptional bass, which is clear even on higher notes. The damping factor of less than 1000 at 20 hertz helps stabilize mid and upper ranges, ensuring smooth sound staging and dynamics. In fact, this product is an exceptional choice for audiophiles looking for a high-quality amp that is exceptional at low and moderate listening levels. For video maniacs, this amplifier surely has the capability of tackling bold cinematic effects and explosions. These amplifiers feature Tiffany-style RCA input jacks and a looping output jack that is used for connecting this unit to another preamp, amp, and speakers. This amp also features six pairs of complementary output transistors at 15 amperes and 50 MHz, multiple protection circuits, and an audiophile quality power cord.The HCA-1000A has the extremely convenient auto turn-on feature that allows a connected preamp to turn this amp on without you having to press the power button. This is accomplished via a 12V trigger available in preamps with a triggering device, which is particularly helpful in home theater setups. The Parasound HCA-1000A is THX certified by Lucasfilm Ltd., so you know it will immerse you in awe-inspiring movie sound effects.
