JC 5
Able to provide audiophile-quality high current via 24 hand-matched Sanken 15A output transistors with a 60MHz bandwidth that eliminates slew-rate distortion, JC 5 operates in pure Class A up to 12Wpc to further eliminate noise. Speaking of the latter, rare Toshiba 2SJ74 JFETs at the dual-mono input stage make it practically disappear. A 1.7kVA shielded power transformer with independent windings for each channel, a direct-coupled signal path, DC servos for full power down to 5Hz, 132,000uF of Rubycon filter capacitance for the output stages, and 24k gold-on-gold internal audio connections further speak to JC 5's sonic fortitude. Ditto independent power supplies for the left and right input stages, driver stages, and output stages. And just for extra oomph, JC 5 packs 8,800uF of Rubycon filter capacitors for the output stages.
On the user-friendly rear panel, JC 5 doesn't quit. Balanced XLR inputs with discrete circuits, Neutrik locking XLR connectors, Vampire gold-plated RCA inputs and loop output jacks, and CHK Infinium five-way speaker binding posts make connections a breeze – and ensure optimal security. A host of turn-on options – including auto turn-on by way of 12V trigger or audio sensing – can also be accessed. Want to rack-mount your JC 5? Hardware is included. Same goes for AC turn-on inrush surge protection.
What's also present is a quietness that borders on surreal. Infinitesimal distortion remains a Curl trademark, and JC 5 proves no exception with a THD rating of less than 0.05 percent at full power and less than 0.03 percent at normal listening levels. Indeed, this 7.75 x 17.625 x 20 inch (HWD) gem will handle any type of music with excitement and refinement, impact and grace, smoothness and vibrancy. Parasound's five-year manufacturer warranty and our 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee encourage you to discover it all for yourself with a risk-free in-home audition.
