9/6/2024 Update: IsoAcoustics pucks improve the sound more than my upgrade from the Parasound 2100 to the McIntosh C49.
My video • Big hifi stereo sound ...
---------------
McIntosh sounds awesome out of the box whereas Parasound needs tone controls (+treble/bass) to sound equally awesome.
I've always set Parasound with a little +treble/bass, who knew that my preference matched McIntosh preference all this time!
I use Parasound's 80 Hz highpass RCA to the speakers, iFi Supanova power cable on both preamps
Parasound remote has a backlight, not McIntosh
Parasound includes a trigger cable, not McIntosh and it's $ nonstandard bypass
Parasound has knobs for tone control and balance, McIntosh only by remote
Parasound 2100 is analog only, no DAC or XLR; Parasound P6 is like McIntosh
Parasound 2100 crosstalk -85db between 80hz to 1kHz is really good:
