I'm happy to be able to share my latest review that was published today, of the Parasound NewClassic 200 Integrated. You can read it here on The Audio Beatnik: https://theaudiobeatnik.com/review-newclassic-200-from-parasound/
I was excited and thankful to have the opportunity to share my thoughts on it. It's performance exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended if you're in the market for an integrated right around the $1k price point.
Please enjoy the read and let me know what you think of the review. Thanks!

I will read your review later when I have time. I had found the Classic line in the past to be dry, lifeless and fatiquing, may be different now.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Well there is no comparing the Classic to the NewClassic.
Very professional and well written review.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Hah! I think you're going to be waiting for a while. Although I am planning on leveraging my connection to Michael Fremer when the time is right. -

Didn't you like the part of the review where I mentioned you? -
Nice review.

Who would win in a fight? Fremer or Guttenberg? I feel like Fremer would have the edge. He's smaller but Guttenberg would have a delayed reaction speed on account of being high all the time.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Guttenberg is a lover, not a fighter.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read the review!
I am open to all feedback, both positive and negative. Hearing about what you liked or didn't like is what can help me learn to be a better writer. -
If I was in the market for an entry level integrated, I would purchase this one based on this review. No ****

Thanks Joe. I think others must feel the same, as this unit is now out of stock everywhere!

Thanks for posting up those links. That was a good read up on Ken, Go figure right here in my own backyard. Dude seems down to earth.
