Parasound P5 2.1 Stereo Preamp

Available now for demo!

We like to think of the P5 as the Swiss army knife of Parasound’s line. The P5 comes with phono, built in DAC with USB, Optical and Coax inputs, five analog inputs, headphone jacks and, to top it all off, it’s reasonably priced.

In our opinion the P5 is better sounding than its predecessor the P3. Less noise and a better power supply make this the perfect preamp for an entry into high-end audio.  If you currently have a home theater system and you would like to get back into music listening, the P5 will give you the best of both worlds. You won’t need to dismantle your theater system to incorporate a P5. Parasound’s HT bypass allows you to add the P5 to your home theater system and enjoy having two systems in one. The best of both worlds.

Choice Audio can help you with set up and guide you through the process.  If you have an existing home theater set up and want to improve your music listening, give us a call.
