My P5 is for sale. I purchased this new back in August, so it's just 6 months old. Still looks brand new and comes with original packaging. It just hasn't gotten the use I though it would. I'm a tube pre guy. Not much I can add that probably hasn't already been said about this piece. Performs fantastic, sounds great.

Silver in color.

$700, buyer pays shipping and any fees if not PP gifted.

    This is an excellent solid state preamp and, at the asking price, it is a HUGE bargain. If I didn't already own one of these, I'd be all over it!
    Audio: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * Polk S10 * SVS SB-1000 Pro
    HT: Samsung QN90B * Marantz NR1510 * Panasonic DMP-BDT220 * Roku Ultra LT * APC H10

    A couple of stock pics from the Parasound website as well as the link to specs in case someone has been living in an alternate universe:

    Has built in DAC with USB, balanced inputs and outputs, yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah, and comes with new car smell.

    At this price I would buy it just to keep my other P5 company if it were black.
    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.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    As a P5 owner, I can say it is bargain at the asking price, in my current system, P5 brought the biggest improvement.

    I'm very happy to hear that man. I've been wondering about you and how it worked out.

    Thanks Skip, it is working out great, P5 not only introduced PRaT into my system, but also made digital enjoyable again, before this I was using Turntable 80% of the time, but now it is 80% digital.
