Parasound PHP-850 - Excellent Component!

A excellent stereo preamp, in good condition (very light use). This component is a great for an entry-level or secondary system. The phono stage and headphone out are key attributes! 

A uniquely cost-effective preamplifier that doesn't compromise your music. A massive power supply for deeper, cleaner bass and better dynamics. The fact that it's direct coupled for the cleanest possible signal and has five inputs-including a clean RIAA phono stage for your turntable-makes this a value that's hard to beat.
