Re: Parasound HCA 1000a VS. Marantz MA500 ?

206.99.218.240

HI Art . I have a Parasound HCA-1000 and it is a very good amplifier at its price . I'm considering to buy the revised model HCA-1000A , which is a bit better in the bass section to the original and has other options for connections too. You can see the review by Stereophile of both Parasounds .It is classified as a C+ - B- contender . At $595.00 is a bargain . The Marantz is said to be a good product too , it depends of your actual set-up and what are you looking . One advantage is that is mono and you can use less speaker cable and go with a high-end 1' or 2' .
Home Theater Magazine ( Curtcos ) has a review and Stereophile to GHT .

In relation to ABCstereo , I don't know , never deal with them but never ask the competition . Better go to Parasound and Marantz web and search for dealers on your area and reviews . Audioreview.com is another web with reviews from actual owners of the products you look for. They are not profesional reviewers but they bring some hints over their products.

Good luck .
