Parasound 2100 Classic

NewClassic 2100 2.1 Channel Preamplifier

"This combination of audio performance without the
use of tone controls or filters is dynamic, precise and detailed. Control is
evident across the audio spectrum even at high volume where there is sufficient
power in reserve. Futhermore, there is no loss of resolution, even with quieter
music and low level listening. Parasound manages to reproduce the essence of
the vast majority of commercial recordings and various genres on CD or the
stereo audio tracks on DVD or BluRay that would satisfy even the most demanding
listener. I think the audience appreciated the especially strong, dynamic sound
with superb control of bass at all volume levels and an imperceptible loss
