RE: John Curl

The early JC Parasound amp was dreadful

The? There were about a dozen different models of the older HCA series dating back nearly twenty years ago. Remember that Curl's involvement is that of providing the schematic. For the most part, execution and parts selection is up to Parasound. Much like the designs Nelson Pass provided for Adcom and Nakamichi.

The only one I'm familiar with is the JC-1 amplifier which is superb. His original JC-2 preamplifier manufactured by Mark Levinson in the 70s was the first solid state preamp I heard that bettered the Audio Research SP-3a in some respects.
