***Last one demo Model in black!

The Parasound JC3jr will get you a good portion of the way to the JC3+ at less than half the price. There is enough adjustability on this unit to handle almost any cartridge available so you can enjoy hearing your MM cartridge today to its full potential and upgrade to MC whenever you feel the need. This unit will be much quieter and more dynamic than the usual suspects in the $500-$1000 range. Designed by the legendary John Curl who is particularly noted with his work with Phono Preamps.

If you’re looking to elevate your vinyl game this could be the ticket, you can’t go wrong at this price!!!
