Reviews:

Australian Hi-Fi, June 2015

"Parasound is one of the very few companies in the world
that has a reputation for state-of­-the-­art sound quality and
engineering as well as a reputation for delivering superb value for
money, and in looking at this duo, it's easy to see why: buy this pair
and you'll be getting an awful lot of power and incredible performance
for what, quite frankly, are ridiculously low prices. And that's true no
matter whether you buy the P 5, the A 23, or both."

Home Theater HiFi (July, 2014)

"Calling the new Parasound Halo P 5 simply a preamplifier is an understatement."

"...to merely say it's a bargain competing with preamps costing many times more is not giving it enough praise."
"My advice is simple, just get one, I recommend it strongly!"

Stereo&Video (May, 2014)

"This amazing group of equipment best demonstrates the audio
industry's present state of the art. This unit is absolutely
state-of-the-art and technological to its core."

Home Theater Review (April, 2014)

"A feature-packed product with nearly everything the digital
and analog audiophile could hope for all wrapped up in one pretty
package. The P 5 does a wonderful job of resolving fine details in
music... captures and delivers it wonderfully, with sumptuous richness
and oodles of warmth... exceptional imagine and soundstage capabilities.
Overall, I adore the ergonomics of the P 5, I love its twist knob input
selector, I love its volume knob... I just adore touching the thing, to
be quite frank about it. And with the vast bulk of my digital music
collection, I simply adore listening to it."

Stereophile, April 2014

"Exceptional clarity. Exceptional dynamics. Neutral without
being colorless. Very well made and complete for the price. What's not
to like?...This is about as fine a $1095 preamp as I can imagine in
2014. Heartily recommended."

Hi-Fi Choice, April 2014

"The P 5 seemingly goes out of its way to throw up as much
detail as it can... If you're looking for a 'Swiss Army Knife' of an
audio product, this won't disappoint."
