About the HCA-1500A
The Parasound HCA-1500A is a high-current THX Ultra certified stereo power amplifier designed by John Curl, delivering approximately 205 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 315 watts per channel into 4 ohms. It uses a dual-mono layout with independent power supplies for each channel, a 1 kVA toroidal power transformer, hand-matched JFETs in the input stage, a MOSFET driver stage, and multiple bipolar output devices. The smooth, powerful sound and high current capability suit both stereo music and demanding home theater applications.
