PARASOND P/LD1100 PARASOUND P/LD1100 PREAMP

The P/LD1100 has received excellent reviews over the years, as it
provides a level of sound and build quality rarely found in its class. Designed by the highly respected engineer, John Curl, this preamp
reveals all the
musical detail found in your recordings. In the "Direct" mode it
reproduces "tube-like" openness, fluidity and three dimensionality. Here are the
features that make it one of the great bargains in high-end audio:

• 100% pure Class A circuitry, 44,000 µF power supply filter capacitance


• Dual mono circuit topology to eliminate inter-channel crosstalk
  
  


• Direct coupled (no capacitors in signal path)
  


• Complementary hand-matched MOSFET drive circuit
  


• Separate glass epoxy circuit boards for each channel


• Six line level inputs


• High current dual mono headphone circuit
  


• Tiffany-style gold plated RCA jacks
  


• Motorized volume control with LED indicator
  


• Fully remote controlled, including input selection and external infrared remote

Recently serviced and verified
to be in "excellent condition" by Peter Williams of Quirk Audio (see
photos provided by him showing THD, S/N Ratio and other measured specs. I
would describe the sound of this preamp as musically accurate, highly
detailed, dynamic, and three-dimensional. You can't get this level of
sound or build quality anywhere near this price in new gear. Here are a
few
comments from industry experts who have reviewed this preamp: “The P/LD
1100 is a masterpiece - Rubycon Black Gate capacitors, Vishay and Caddock
resistors for gorgeous musical performance." "The P/LD 1100 features
Class A operation, 40,0000uF of storage capacitance, silver-plated
copper internal wiring, a 102 dB signal-to-noise ratio, top-of-the-line
ALPS potentiometer, fully differential and balanced design, no phase
splitters or negative feedback, and balanced from input to output. One
of the finest preamps in its class, the P/LD 1100 could be one of the
best preamps ever made
under a grand."
