I’m selling a silver Parasound JC5 stereo power amplifier purchased in September 20222 from Safe N Sound. This is a fantastic powerhouse amplifier that retails for $7499. The first 12 watts are completely in Class A. This will drive even the most demanding speakers with ease.  I got the bug to explore open baffle speakers and low watt tube amps so this needs a new home. This was a big upgrade over the Parasound A21+ I had previously. Bigger soundstage, more extended highs, and tighter more detailed bass. This will be doubled boxed and shipped with full insurance. Buy with confidence. I have 100% positive feedback in two decades of selling on eBay. Check out Zero Fidelity’s review on YouTube for a thorough description of the JC5’s performance. He places the sound signature between a Bryston and a Macintosh, a pleasing richness with top notch resolution and detail. I rate it Very Good cosmetically as there are a couple tiny nicks on the left edge of the face plate that are only noticeable from very close up (see pics.) Other than that it's in like new condition. Includes all the accessories including trigger cable, rack mounts, original double box and instructions. More info on the JC5: John Curl-Designed Power Amplifier Provides Herculean Output, Class A/AB Operation, and High-End Sound: Parasound JC 5 Power Amplifier Plays with Excitement and Refinement Outside of its awe-inspiring performance, the most important detail about the Parasound JC 5 stereo power amplifier resides in its name – the JC initials representing legendary designer John Curl, the man who oversaw its creation and whose signature adorns the front panel. Hellbent on delivering mammoth power (400Wpc into eight ohms, 600Wpc into four ohms, 1,200Wpc into eight ohms bridged) and taking every advantage of its high-bias Class A/AB operation, the 73-pound unit blends supreme musicality and precedent-setting value while driving most any speakers with superb control. It all starts with the topology and parts inside this sleek component. Able to provide audiophile-quality high current via 24 hand-matched Sanken 15A output transistors with a 60MHz bandwidth that eliminates slew-rate distortion, JC 5 operates in pure Class A up to 12Wpc to further eliminate noise. Speaking of the latter, rare Toshiba 2SJ74 JFETs at the dual-mono input stage make it practically disappear. A 1.7kVA shielded power transformer with independent windings for each channel, a direct-coupled signal path, DC servos for full power down to 5Hz, 132,000uF of Rubycon filter capacitance for the output stages, and 24k gold-on-gold internal audio connections further speak to JC 5's sonic fortitude. Ditto independent power supplies for the left and right input stages, driver stages, and output stages. And just for extra oomph, JC 5 packs 8,800uF of Rubycon filter capacitors for the output stages. On the user-friendly rear panel, JC 5 doesn't quit. Balanced XLR inputs with discrete circuits, Neutrik locking XLR connectors, Vampire gold-plated RCA inputs and loop output jacks, and CHK Infinium five-way speaker binding posts make connections a breeze – and ensure optimal security. A host of turn-on options – including auto turn-on by way of 12V trigger or audio sensing – can also be accessed. Want to rack-mount your JC 5? Hardware is included. Same goes for AC turn-on inrush surge protection. What's also present is a quietness that borders on surreal. Infinitesimal distortion remains a Curl trademark, and JC 5 proves no exception with a THD rating of less than 0.05 percent at full power and less than 0.03 percent at normal listening levels. Indeed, this 7.75 x 17.625 x 20 inch (HWD) gem will handle any type of music with excitement and refinement, impact and grace, smoothness and vibrancy. Parasound's five-year manufacturer warranty and our 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee encourage you to discover it all for yourself with a risk-free in-home audition. I heard next to no distortion whatever the material I flung at it. It plays clean and neutral, a living embodiment of how close we've come to the ideal of straight wire with gain. That is, it maintains its musicality and never gives off that sterile sound you hear from many amps trying to attain surgical precision while sucking the life out of your music. The JC 5 just plays whatever you want the way it was meant to be played. – Myron Ho, Home Theater Review Those who think nothing of using for parties the kind of five-figure system at the heart of which it will sit won't be disappointed in the least – it will just keep on going as long as you can. However, there's so much more refinement than that on offer here, and the JC5 will please even if you never explore the limits of its performance envelope. – James Parker, Hi-Fi News, Outstanding Product There was an absolute sense of effortlessness as sound flowed smoothly and steadily from it, regardless of what speakers I used or music I played. Not only was the sound exquisitely smooth and natural, it never ran out of steam, regardless of how loud I cranked it. From the moment I began listening to the Halo JC 5 until I had to pack it up and send it back to Parasound, its sound delighted me in ways that few other components ever have. – Roger Kanno, SoundStage!

It delivers a whopping 450 watts into a single channel at 8 ohms, and its stable down to 2 ohms, offering flexibility to drive even the most demanding speakers. The companys famed audio guru John Curl spent five years developing this amp as an upgrade to his original JC 1, which has been wowing audiophiles since 2003. He redesigned the input stages with an independent power supply for increased output with minimal distortion. Parasounds audio guru John Curl chose the parts for the JC 1+ and laid out its circuit pathways to ensure high power with minimal distortion. Class A/AB operation for smoother sound The JC 1+ uses Class A/AB amplifier technology, which we dont see every day. So lets talk about what that means. Engineers and audiophiles generally agree that Class A designs offer the purest sound, but they tend to run hot and take up a lot of space. As a result, home audio amplifiers often use a compromise known as Class AB, which hands off part of the audio signal to a different set of output transistors at high power levels. AB can sacrifice a bit of signal purity, but it lets the amp run cooler and more efficiently. So this Class A/AB amp operates in pure Class A mode up to a higher power level than most other amplifiers in its price category, before the second set of transistors kick in. The result is a sound thats smoother, less fatiguing, and more natural. This amp includes a bias switch that can be set to low to reduce heat output and power consumption. When its set to high, the amplifier delivers up to 25 watts of pure Class A power. Convenient connections On the back panel are single balanced mono XLR and unbalanced mono RCA input and output with switchable gain. There are also a pair of speaker binding posts, with the second pair allowing easy bi-wiring. The amp can be rack mounted using the included ears. The legacy of John Curl As noted above, the JC 1+ was designed by audio engineering mastermind John Curl — his signature appears on the front and back panels, as a matter of fact. Curl started his career in the 1970s, designing tape and video recorders at Ampex, and he had a hand in building the Grateful Deads famous Wall of Sound. He has worked with Parasound since 1989, designing all of their high-power amplifiers and more. He chose this flagship amps parts and laid out its circuit pathways to deliver no-holds-barred power and performance for audiophiles.Freight shipping details Delivery time is 2-5 business days.

Parasound Halo JC5 Amplifier, Mint condition, all accessories, factory manual, factory packaging. Silver. I am the original owner, purchased open box from dealer in Aug 2022. Lightly used. Sounds amazing. I have to let it go. I have always wanted to listen to a tube amp, so I decided to purchase a Prima Luna tube amplifier and new Klipsch speakers. I have always had Parasound amps, my first was a 2250, second was a A21+, then this awesome JC-5. This is a great amplifier. I had it paired with a pair of Gallo Acoustics Nucleus Ref. 3 with a Gallo Tube sub. This unit is well cared for and like new. Please message with any questions. Thanks Item is listed locally, May end early. I HAVE TWO VIDEOS OF THE AMPLIFIER IN USE, FOR SOME REASON I CANT ADD TO THE LISTING.
