Parasound Halo P5 Preamplifier

David Price has posted a review of the Parasound Halo P5 preamplifier (£999) at Hi-Fi Choice. His conclusions:

“On its own, as a £1,000 preamplifier, the Parasound P5 is very good, but not great. It is a substantial step up from the preamp sections of your average £500 amplifier, but doesn’t offer a revelatory sound all the same. However, factor in the DAC and phono stage – and the fact that they don’t disgrace themselves in the company of the line inputs – and you effectively have an excellent £300 preamp, £300 DAC and £300 phono stage in one box. This then makes the P5 a rather nice product, and really keen value too. If you’re looking for a ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of an audio product, this won’t disappoint.”
