Hello. This preamp is from Parasound's past when they were trying to make a name for themselves. If you look at the internal picture, you'll see extensive power supply stages, regulation and filtering. All the large capacitors are bypassed by multiple film capacitors the lower the power supplies impedance. This helps with overall sound quality but really shines in the bass response. Very powerful, tight and deep bass. This preamp has tons of drive, too. Not only does it have all that but it happens to sound very smooth, open and images with the best of them. It is non-fatiguing as well but never lacks in detail.
For the price, it's laughable how much quality and sound you get. This preamp is absolutely better than any Adcom, Rotel, NAD or any other “mid-fi” range preamp.
The newer preamps, most brands under $600 use cheap op-amps for gain and cheap switching power supplies. They just don't sound as good in my opinion.
It comes with the remote that is pictured. It controls volume up/down, mute and switches to CD and Direct with the Ch. Up and AV button. There are several light scratches on the top lid. The face is in good condition but there are some nicks on the top edge. They've been touched up. I also installed black screws to cover the rack mount holes. Very presentable from the listening position.
