Parasound processors
Well I have heard them several times now and have always loved them. What are others experience of them? Thinking about retiring the Tag....who uses them?
I have a Parasound pre and love that. Great looks and sound.

It is the C2 I am interetsed in. One of the few processors I have found with all the toys I need and simple to use to boot. Someone please talk me out of another upgrade.

interesting - i went from a tag av32r with 100x5 power amp to a parasound c2 with a52 power amp and haven't looked back!
its very easy to listen to - i can drive it REAL hard and it never becomes stressed and find myself listening to music again. the only downside is that updates tend to take their time but they do get there in the end.
BTW - if you are into modes like Lexicon's logic 7; the natural mode is what i tend to leave my c2 in for tv/sat viewing - its better than pl2 imo.

Henry is guilty on this one Henry, he normally is, I always end up poorer when I speak to him, know the feeling?

C2 + A51 = awesome (although I haven't listened to a TAG system for a few years)... Assuming you don't need/want digital video switching or Logic7...

Not interested in Meridian, need more flexibility and ease of use.

and been there anyway  Do love Trifield though just not enough inputs for me.
Interesting comments about Natural mode, they seem to have the same ethos on this to TMS. L and R unchanged, C information derived from and sides / rears in the subtle catagory. There seem to be a few quality solutioms out there.

What inputs is the G68 lacking that you need and the C2 has?
Trifield is far superior to "Natural mode".
