“Halo by Parasound will be beautiful, versatile, easy to use, and offer incredible sound quality,” said Richard Schram, the president and founder of Parasound Products. “Halo builds upon our reputation for manufacturing high quality, high value products by further upgrading sonic performance and ease of operation. Halo gives our dealers products whose performance equals or surpasses the most revered brands in high-end audio, while maintaining real-world pricing.”
“The Halo series,” Schram continues, “incorporates professional audio technologies such as fully-differential balanced circuits with XLR type connectors. It also follows and refines proven Parasound design elements like the use of pure Class A JFET input and MOSFET driver stages, DC servos to eliminate capacitors in the signal path, and the use of Class A/AB power amplifiers that operate Class A at virtually all reasonable listening levels. We also gave our chief analog designer, John Curl, the go-ahead to specify higher grade electronic components. Needless to say, we’ve had no arguments from John on this matter.”
Today, Parasound begins delivering three Halo audio components designed to set new standards for stereo sound quality (see picture). The Halo A 23 Power Amplifier (MSRP $850), P 3 Preamplifier (MSRP $800), and T 3 FM/AM Tuner (MSRP $600) combine to form what may well be the ultimate affordable two-channel music system.
