Are there any ground problems with parasound amps?

By Daniel Rodriguez

Are there any ground problems with parasound amps?

Parasound amps seem to be very prone to ground problems HUMMMMMMMMMM but with ‘modified’ power cords they are amazing. I love these amplifiers.

What are the outputs of a hca-1000a 2 channel amplifier?

The other set of connectors are labeled LOOPING OUTPUTS. These would be used to send the stereo signal on to another amplifier. Daisy chain several amps to run multiple pairs of speakers. Do not use the LOOPING OUTPUTS as an input. What would sound better in my audiophile system? Two HCA-1000As in mono or one HCA-1500A in stereo?

Which is better mono or stereo hca-1000a?

Two HCA-1000As in mono or one HCA-1500A in stereo? The HCA-1500A run in stereo should sound better since it has MOSFETs in the driver stage. Better parts, smoother sound, more detail, etc. Where should I set the volume controls on the back of my amp?

Which is better a HCA 1500A or 1500A?

The HCA-1500A run in stereo should sound better since it has MOSFETs in the driver stage. Better parts, smoother sound, more detail, etc. Where should I set the volume controls on the back of my amp?

How many pairs of speakers can I run off a parasound amplifier?

No. Remember amps bridged to mono will “see” half the impedance the speaker is actually presenting. Sustained 2 Ohm loads are not advisable with any Parasound amplifier. How many pairs of speakers can I run off a single stereo amplifier? Usually we recommend you only run one pair of speakers, either 8 ohm or 4 ohm.
