The HINT 6 Integrated Amplifier is an improved version of the Halo Integrated Amplifier. The Halo model began to be called HINT by the company shortly after release, and now this house name is reflected in the new version of the amplifier. The amplifier has a Burr-Brown volume control and a convenient front panel display. A USB input has been added for owners of Windows and Mac computers. The developers also added an optical input, increased the gain of the built-in phono stage and improved channel separation.
At the heart of the HINT 6 is the same power amplifier designed by John Curl, delivering 160 watts per channel into 8 ohms (and 240 watts into 4 ohms). A feature of this amplifier is in the class A / AB DC circuit used in modern Parasound power amplifiers.
The HINT 6 amplifier can also be integrated into a home theater system or built from it into a 2.1 system (it has an analog bass management function). For lovers of personal sound, there is a headphone amplifier, and for owners of turntables, there is a phono stage for MM and MC heads.

Parasound makes high-end preamplifiers and powerful amplifiers.
The integrated amplifier Halo Hint 6 covers all of my needs with its wide function set.
The Hint 6 is Class A/B power amp into 8 ohms. Its power is about 160 watts. It's more than enough. It also has a headphone amp, USB input, analog inputs (XLR and RCA), MM and MC phono stage. The exterior amp is attractive and with superb quality of the cabinet. However, like all equipment of Parasound. I bought it first of all for vinyl. After listening to one side, i understand that the Hint 6 phono stage does its job perfectly.
I have no complaints about the ergonomics. The Halo Hint 6 get a very low noise level, without overheat, and is fully controllable with the remote control. I was surprised that the amplifier was cool after leaving it on for 24 hours.
The Parasound Halo Hint 6 is awesome equipment. I really liked it a lot. It gives off class, sounds great and the finish is top level. I also really liked the price.
