How the JC 3+ improves on the JC 3
- Variable MC load adjust independent for each channel from 50-550 ohms with dual gang
potentiometers specially made for Parasound by Vishay.
- Curl-Thompson tweaked circuits to further reduce the JC 3 silent background noise.
- 24k gold plated copper traces on phono module boards for utmost conductivity and most
transparency/detail in the music.
- 47% larger low ESD power supply filter caps greater reserve for head-snapping dynamics.
- 82% larger R-core power transformer greater reserve for more low end impact.
- Ability to turn off illumination of the front panel P logo.
- Now Available in Silver or Black.
