Reviews
Hi-Fi World (UK) March 2016
"Outstanding-amongst the best. The soundstage was tight and honed, delivery was crisp, precise and accurate... forceful and exciting. Vocals were nothing less than haunting, while the low noise design offered a clean and open presentation." Five Globes.

HiFi News (UK) Finest Products 2015
"Essentially, the JC 3+ is an unerringly clean and crisp, modern-sounding design, yet one that remains fully able to communicate the alluring sound of vinyl replay."

"There is no shortage of phono stages on sale at the Parasound's price point, but the Halo JC 3+ stands out. A beautifully designed and built package, it boasts a good - if not totally comprehensive - range of facilities. Best of all is its superb sound quality; I have heard few better designs at any price, and the fact that it's able to achieve this for a sensible sum of money makes it an exceptional product."
