{"product_id":"parasound-halo-jc3-mm-mc-phono-preamplifier-2","title":"Parasound Halo JC3+ MM\/MC Phono Preamplifier","description":"The Parasound Halo JC 3+ phono preamplifier features MM\/MC compatibility, independent variable MC loading from 50 to 550 ohms, and balanced XLR and single-ended RCA outputs. This dual-mono component employs independent rectification, filtering, and dedicated extruded aluminum enclosures for each channel to ensure isolation. Low-carbon steel partitions shield the circuits from power supply interference, while an internal AC line conditioner purifies the path. By treating channels independently, it safeguards fragile analog signals from cross-channel distortion.\n\nThe design earned repeated Class A spots in Stereophile's Recommended Components list, along with Best Phono Preamplifier awards from Secrets of Home Theater \u0026amp; High Fidelity and AV Tech Media. Critics praise its silent background noise floor, which uncovers obscured micro-details. This backdrop allows for a lusher, richer voicing and an expansive soundstage filled with lifelike instrumental textures, a powerful, defined bass extension, and a smooth, fatigue-free treble that remains musical.\n\nExtracting the full impact of vinyl requires a component that honors the delicate nuances in the grooves. This phono stage provides a transparent gateway that reveals the true emotional heart of a recording without unwanted glare. With flexible loading options to match any cartridge, it serves as the definitive choice for listeners looking to breathe new life and breathtaking realism into their record collection.","brand":"Parasound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795040141593,"sku":"101390","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/101390-4.jpg?v=1792010157","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/parasound-halo-jc3-mm-mc-phono-preamplifier-2","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
