Parasound JCM250 Amplifier

The JCM250 operates in Pure Class A for the first 5 watts of power, which is where most critical, low-volume listening occurs. This design eliminates crossover distortion, resulting in a smoother, more natural sound quality at typical home listening levels.

Yes, the JCM250 is built for demanding loads. It is rated to deliver 800 watts into 2 ohms and features a peak current capability of 100 amperes, ensuring it maintains control and dynamics even with speakers that have challenging impedance dips.

The dual-mono architecture uses two separate transformers to power the amplifier, which provides superior channel separation and prevents the power demands of one stage from affecting the others. This results in greater sonic accuracy, a wider soundstage, and reduced crosstalk.

Bybee Music Rails™ are active filters that remove high-frequency noise from the power supply. By cleaning up this electrical interference, the amplifier achieves a lower noise floor, allowing for greater transparency and finer detail in your music.

Yes, the JCM250 includes a two-position gain switch that allows you to select between 23dB and 29dB. This feature is helpful for optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio and ensuring your volume control has a comfortable range of adjustment.

Because the signal path is free from capacitors and inductors, it is highly transparent and accurate. However, it is important to ensure your source and preamplifier components are of high quality, as this amplifier will faithfully reproduce any signal—including potential DC offsets—sent to it.
