About the Halo JC 3+
The Parasound JC 3+ is a dual-mono, all-analog phono preamplifier designed by John Curl for moving-magnet (MM) and moving-coil (MC) cartridges. It uses precision RIAA equalization, discrete Class A input circuitry, individually adjustable MC loading for each channel, separate shielded phono modules, and an upgraded power supply with an R-core transformer and larger low-ESR filter capacitors. The unit provides a single pair of unbalanced RCA phono inputs, simultaneous balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs, a mono switch, AC polarity reversal, a ground terminal, and 12V trigger capability. It is available in black and silver finishes.
