in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Picked up a Mc Cormack Amp....so this Parasound just became available. Very good cosmetic and mechanical condition. There are no mechanical issues what-so-ever and the amp looks very good 8/10 due to just age and very small nick at to of faceplate.

Asking $425 + ship and paypal

    Nice amp for sure.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Ran one of these with 2Bs with great results. The 12v trigger is a nice option as well.

    rooftop59: There is no confirmation that it sold, and the price quoted would be the cost from NJ to OH. Would it not? NJ to OR is a bit further away.

    Dude it says $450 shipped. That means anywhere. But you are correct that it could have been sold.

    FYI, I have done business with dhart several times over the years, no probs. Buy with confidence!

    Well, the more kids you have...the more daycare bills are insano....

    I'm really not looking forward to selling the Musical Fidelity integrated :(

    But it will be going up for sale as soon as I receive the Parasound and get everything hooked up.

    My system is as good as it's ever sounded, but I gotta make the move right now. It's for the kids :):):)
