Hey Dennie! WHAAZZUP!!!
I bought one of these off E-Bay the other day cheap. I've already got a Parasound DAC-1100 and I kinda thought it'd be cool to have a matched pair sitting in the money pit...ooops!!!...I meant to say rack. I remember them being for sale back in the nineties but not much else. I guess that's better than the seventies, which I don't really remember at all. I contacted Parasound's service department and was informed that they could still fully service/repair it as necessary. The seller said it skipped occasionally which apparently, judging from what I've read on the net, is a common problem with these units. I'm going to be using it as a transport only so I don't really care about the outdated internal dacs, it just has to look pretty and spin discs. The DAC-1100 has multiple inputs so I don't have to make any changes to my existing rig. I've got a Parasound AVC-1800 preamp-processor that I haven't used in years (never did like the way it sounded in two-channel) that I ought to drag out and blow the dust off. Probably still wouldn't like it, but ya never know. The thing ought to be here tomorrow or the next day and then I'll know more about it.
Best Regards, Sam [H]

Thanks for the info, my seller said that this one skips occasionally too. Probably has a trip to Parasound in it's future as well. Please disregard the multiple posts while answering Dennie, I'm pretty sure its just a flashback and they're not really there.
Regards, Sam [:|]
