"No doubt about it -- Parasound’s Halo JC 3 Jr. is a heck of a fine phono stage. Its supremely well-balanced, uncolored, musically impartial character makes it unique among its budget-friendly brethren, and its compatibility with all manner of phono cartridges means it will work well and sound great in a wide variety of systems. Moreover, its utter lack of self-noise makes it the quietest phono stage I’ve experienced, regardless of price." SoundStage! Hi-Fi  Reveiwers Choice Award Winner.
