Upgraded and enhanced, Parasound has added more than ‘go-faster’ stripes onto its new phono amplifier. This John Curl-designed phono amp is nothing if not a stickler for isolation. Everything is separated out to avoid components talking to each other, out of turn. This dual mono design has each channel contained in its own aluminium housing.

Features & Specifications

  • Designed by John Curl – creator of the legendary Vendetta Research phono preamp
  • Inputs and outputs use Vampire brand 24k gold-plated RCA jacks
  • Balanced outputs use Neutrik brand premium XLR jacks
  • MM 47k ohm, MC 47k ohm or MC variable 50-550 Ohms
  • RIAA accurate within 0.2 dB
  • Exclusively Vishay-Dale resistors in the audio path
  • Triple shielding; low-carbon mild steel partitions isolate the power supplies & AC wires
  • Dual mono design; each audio channel is separately enclosed in its own extruded aluminum enclosure
  • Separate high speed-soft recovery rectifiers, filter caps and voltage regulators for each channel
  • Mono switch can improve sound of mono and older LPs
  • Built-in AC line conditioner to prevent AC noise from polluting the circuits
  • AC polarity reverse switch can reduce hum in many systems
  • Non-magnetic aluminum rear panel for purest sound
  • Turn On Options switch: manual or auto with 12v trigger input
  • Premium detachable heavy gauge IEC AC cord
  • 2u Chassis, rack mountable with HRA2 (sold separately)

How the JC 3+ improves on the original JC 3:

  • Variable MC load adjust independent for each channel from 50-550 ohms with dual gang potentiometers specially made for Parasound by Vishay.
  • Curl-Thompson tweaked circuits to further reduce the JC 3 silent background noise.
  • 24k gold plated copper traces on phono module boards for utmost conductivity and most transparency/detail in the music.
  • 47% larger low ESD power supply filter caps greater reserve for head-snapping dynamics.
