joeinid Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Congratulations! I am convinced that the preamp is the heart of the system and can make or break it. Parasound makes great gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Welcome to the forum and congrats on the pre-amp. I am also kicking with the RF 7's, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioramos Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks guys Yes the halo does have ht by pass but I don't have the need for 2 ch stereo only. The would work great if it was intagrated in to a ht. I would recommend it to anybody who listens to music in there ht but not 100 happy with the sound. It will make a huge improvement in the sound. Best 1k you will spend for your set up. Before I was using a hk pre pro in stereo. It does how ever have a little hum I can hear at low level listening that was not there until I installed the halo what gives. Ground? Maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioramos Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Parasound does make really nice stuff. If people want to know more about parasound I would recommend checking out a you tube video of John curl designer and I think the vice pre of parasound doing a class about the company. It took place at a retailer in San Jose called century stereo. It's a good watch for audiophiles. It's about 1 and half hrs long some but some time a side to watch! That's actually where I purchased the halo unit. The video made me feel confident in my buying and that I was invested my money wisely in the halo check it out.

marioramos Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I do agree with you joeinid that the pre amp is the foundation of a 2 ch stereo. It presented me the biggest upgrade in sound . I have used lots of different equipment with the 7s but I think this one sounds the best to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioramos Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Derrickdj1 how long have you have your 7s? R they the mk 1 s. Have you had to replace and parts? They r well made I wonder if these were made in hope ark. I believe these were made before klipsch was bought by vox right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
