The HCA-3500 provided tons of detail, and had exceptional delineation of depth information. Dynamics were outstanding, the sound of the speakers driven by the Parasound amplifier having a high "startle factor," and cranking up the volume resulted in the sound just getting louder, with no sense of dynamic compression at high levels.
-Robert Deutsch, Stereophile Magazine


About this product
Fantastic condition traded-in Parasound HCA-3500 Power Amplifier in black finish. Amplifier comes in original box and packing with owner's manual and power cord.
