Parasound JC3 Jr. is a high-performance phono stage with extremely low noise figure, capable of working with both MM and MC heads. The ability to fine-tune the signal level and impedance allows you to achieve the most optimal results with even the lowest output level MCs.
The Parasound JC3 Jr. phono stage reflects a productive collaboration with legendary Vendetta designer John Curl, as well as Carl Thompson, a true PCB wizard.
The company attributes the new phono stage primarily to the new generation of vinyl sound enthusiasts. Halo JC3 Jr. is twice as cheap as its "progenitor" in the person of Halo JC3+, which has long been famous as one of the best phono-rectors in the world. Company founder Richard Schram commented on the announcement as follows: "The JC3 Jr. grew out of the realization that the price of the JC3+ was an insurmountable obstacle for people just starting out in vinyl and for seasoned fans alike. So, we decided to "put it on a diet".
