As much as I love my Parasound 2125v2, I upgraded to the NAD C298 and love it even more! source=Apple Music lossless

Cinematic; nice way to describe the sound 👍 Nice piece of gear. I can imagine it may become a bit too 'cinematic' when using warmer sounding speakers. I personally prefer a more realistic midrange, especially for wind instruments. Anyway, thanks for your insights!

Thx for watching 🙏🏽

Thank you for the review. I am wondering, however, if the comparison of the Stellar Phono with the JC3+ is a fair one, since the latter is almost twice as expensive as the PS Audio Stellar Phono? A better comparison might have been with the JC 3+ Jr., which retails for around $2,000. Furthermore, the Gold Note is selling for around $1,300. It is the extra PSU for around $1,000 that brings it closer to the PS Audio in price. Aside from this minor criticism, I really enjoyed the review. Thank you again.

Thank you for sharing this, not at all cause the stellar Phono really never disappointed compare it to the more expensive JC3+ in terms of Dynamic, musicality and soundstage, also stellar is coming with a more versatile setup and remote control, for me a great value for money product!

I have the Cisco version of Aja from way back. It is excellent. The Analog Productions UHQR takes it to another level.

[@MadAudiofficial]

UHQR are top but here in Europe are pretty expensive unfortunately, for example i was comparing my UHQR copy of kind of Blue with a standard one and OMG!

I really like your reviews, well done! I see a Pro-ject Phono Box RS2 in the footage, how does that compare? I am really considering this one as well. Thanks

[@MadAudiofficial]

Thank you very much, RS2 review is coming soon👍🏽

Fantastic review of phono stages! Wynton Marsalis, Oscar Peterson (in the background pictures) ... You have good taste man... Keep up the fantastic reviews!

Thank you for the support 🙏🏽

In the states you can pick up the Stellar for $3k but they have sales if you’re a subscriber, so you can get it for much cheaper. The JC3+ is pretty much $2500 (silver) and $2750 (black).

[@MadAudiofficial]

I thought JC3+ is more expensive in US!

[@homerjones3291]

@@MadAudiofficial I’ve been watching the prices because I wanted to pick one up. You can get a used one for about $2k but you have to watch and wait. PS Audio equipment doesn’t hold its value very well so you can used for quite a bit less (again, in the US).
