Drawing from the key elements invoked in the JC3+, the JC3 JR is a new, slimmer, lower cost Parasound 'Reference class' HALO Phono Pre-amplifier with many of the features and benefits of the multi-award winning JC3+!
The JC3 JR has also again been designed by the legendary pre-amp designer John Curl.
Although the unit is half the size, it hones in on some of the key features and performance of it's bigger family member. In terms of hardware and components there are certain core elements: Vishay-Dale resistors in the audio path, aluminium shielded power supply and audio circuits (with shielded toroid power transformer), high speed-soft recovery bridge rectifiers and common mode inductors, vampire brand 24k gold-plated RCA jacks and also Neutrik brand locking balanced XLR outputs connectors.
Again, certain key fundamentals can be seen in the acceptance of multiple cartridge options and loading options as there are cartridge options for 47k Ω MM and MC/MI, plus variable MC impedance adjustment of 50-550 ohms and also designated gain select for 40 dB/50 dB/60 dB unbalanced (46 dB/56 dB/66 dB balanced). On the performance front the shrewd design and performance seen in the larger JC3+ can be extended to the 'JR', with an RIAA accurate to within 0.2 dB alongside the incredibly consistent S/N up to 94 dB and THD less than 0.02%.
