Parasound HCA-1000A 2CH Amplifier - 9/10 - *SOLD*

This is a great amplifier from my secret hole in the ground. It's a solid performer at 125@8 ...200@4 ...or 400@8 MONO. If you find another one of these, bridge them mono and sit back and relax, you won't need another amplifier for awhile. Just strong, reliable SS power, plain and simple.

The unit is very clean with a couple nicks in the faceplate being the only noteable issue. All connections have been cleaned with CAIG Pro-Gold and are ready for some love.

    Work with me folks, I need some more space. I have a ASL Wave tube pre-amp that I could work up a combo price for if someone is interested. The pre-amp will be posted tonight.

    Left you a vm on the pre. If it's the single 12AU7 Wave Line, add it to my tab.

    I think the THX version (a) of that amp is actually rated at 135/ch (not that it's a big difference).

    I found a couple references to the power and decided to stick with what the 1000A manual stated just to be sure.

    Do you really need a pre-amp?

    Payment received, AM shipping, tracking via PM or Email. Let me know when it arrives and all is well.

    I'm going to get with Shawn on the Yamaha after I pick up the Sony from Brent. This should be on Monday, so expect the unit by next Friday.

    Thank you Robert!
