Angeboten wird „P/LD-2000“ von Parasound als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Vorverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 984473815 endet am 21.07.2026 um 12:32 Uhr.
Compared with a plain “safe buy” alternative at this price, €699 is slightly above the current market center but still close enough to be reasonable for a good example. Against your own comps, it sits above the €663 median and just over the €688 75th percentile, so this is not a bargain, but it is only a modestly ambitious ask for a well-kept unit.
That makes it a sensible buy if you want the Parasound sound: these preamps are respected for solid build, clean phono-friendly performance, and a grown-up, neutral presentation that still makes vintage and modern sources easy to enjoy. “Good” condition helps here, because with older control gear the real value is in a clean, fully working unit with quiet knobs, stable switching, and no service surprises.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Parasound, an enduring American hi-fi brand, traces its roots to 1981 when Richard Schram founded it in San Francisco, California. Drawing from his experience in consumer electronics retail and engineering trips to Asia, Schram aimed to bridge the gap between exorbitantly priced high-end gear and lackluster budget options. His vision crystallized through savvy U.S. design paired with cost-effective manufacturing in Taiwan, establishing Parasound as a beacon of accessible excellence from the outset.
The brand excels in amplifiers and preamplifiers, its core stronghold, with the acclaimed Halo series embodying decades of refinement. Iconic collaborations with legendary designer John Curl—starting in 1989—elevate power amps, phono stages like the JC3+, and processors to reference-level performance. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, Parasound's focused lineup delivers uncolored, dynamic sound through innovative circuits and robust builds.
Parasound occupies a prime mid-to-high-end niche, revered for punching far above its price weight with reliability that rivals pricier boutique rivals. Audiophiles and critics praise its value-driven sonic fidelity, build quality, and longevity, fostering fierce loyalty worldwide. Even under new ownership since 2022, it remains the discerning buyer's choice for high-performance audio without prestige-driven excess.
