A23 & P3 "A winning combination! Sexy in appearance, easy to use; sound solid & satisfying. Their sleek cases & glowing blue lights will make them showpieces in your living room & should earn them easy spousal approval." GOOD SOUND.COM 12/1/04

JC2 Preamp, $4000, PRODUCT of the YEAR 09, ABSOLUTE SOUND  GOLDEN EAR AWARD; EDITOR'S CHOICE 3/11
"Neutral & natural, transparent, quick & delicately detailed; a masterwork." BUYER'S GUIDE, ABSOLUTE SOUND Spring 2010

"Like the JC1, the JC2 is up there with the best of them, but down to earth in price. Competes successfully against preamps, solid-state or tubes, that sell for twice the price or more. It excels at reproduction of space;
helps the JC1 amps throw a huge soundstage." STEREOPHILE 12/07
EXCEPTIONAL VALUE, A RATED; IN SAME CLASS as $30,000 PREAMPS "Excellent reproduction of space; music emerges intact with body, bloom & dynamics, with definition & detail form an utterly silent background. Perhaps the finest solid-state line stage I've heard." STEREOPHILE RECOMMENDED 4/11
"Remarkably detailed & shockingly realistic sound. Rock solid build quality; parts quality absolutely first rate. JC1 & 2 sound strikes a keen balance between superlative resolution & sounding beguilingly sweet & natural. I'm totally absorbed by CDs that previously bored me. Experience the Parasounds first hand. Bring your favorite music & hear it like never before." HOME ENTERTAINMENT 6/08
"The BEST BUY in a HIGH-END PREAMP TODAY."
"The BEST BARGAIN in a HIGH END PREAMP. This is the closest I've heard solid state come to a fundamentally neutral sound. It preserves fine harmonic & dynamic detail, air & bloom in the midband; [plus] the frequency extremes, which is unique in a solid state preamp. EXTREME RARITY - A REFERENCE QUALITY PRODUCT THAT MANY of us can ACTUALLY AFFORD." GOLDEN EAR AWARD, ABSOLUTE SOUND 7/08

JC3 Phono preamp, $2350, JC3 midbass attack is timbrally & texturally ideal; bass tight & punchy; midbass attack timbrally & texturally ideal, performing well beyond its price. Superb musical grip & control. At $2350, the JC3 is a remarkably fine phono that easily held its own against preamps from $10,600 to $26,000. The JC3 represents the best current value in a phono preamp. STEREOPHILE RECOMMENDED 3/11
STEREOPHILE EXCEPTIONAL VALUE, 4/11, in same class as $3900 preamps

PHONO STAGE OF THE YEAR "There's a riveting balance of extremes at play here - a kiss of romance through the mids & an ability to extract & define low-level information in acoustic space. There's a warm breadth of life in every musical image." ABSOLUTE SOUND 1/12

GOLDEN EAR AWARD "Curl's earlier efforts, the Halo JC-1 amp & JC-2 preamp, had been overwhelmingly well received & phono stages are one of Curl's passions. The JC-3 is a dual-mono design. Each channel is housed in its own extruded aluminum enclosure & further isolated from the power supply with thick, low-carbon-steel partitions. The JC-3 is fitted with top-quality parts throughout. What continues to strike me about the JC-3 is its balance of profound silence & kick-butt energy, its kiss of romance through the mids & its ability to extract low-level information & define it in acoustic  space. There's a warm breath of life in every musical image." ABSOLUTE SOUND 9/11

Parasound Halo AV Amps
A51 Surround sound power amp, EDITOR'S CHOICE "Powerful power amp with impressive sound. Excellent value." HI-FI CHOICE, AWARDS 2008

A52, $2249 "This 5x125 watt amp has warm, natural sound." ABSOLUTE SOUND EDITOR'S CHOICE 
"Those who prize flexibility will appreciate RCA & balanced inputs & individual channel level controls. Warm, natural, never edgy sound."
PERFECT VISION winter 2005

P7 PREAMP, $2000, "Set-up as a straight-through stereo preamp was a piece of cake. Delight to use & listen to. Outstandingly transparent. A superb analog stereo preamp at a realistic price. Icing on the cake: sophisticated control functions, renamable input displays, superb remote control & valuable ability to manage bass via its stereo inputs. A category killer. Nothing else can do what it does & the few that sound marginally better cost many times more." STEREOPHILE, 1/09
STEREOPHILE RECOMMENDED, exceptional value, in same class as $8,000 preamp, 4/11
"Sounds transparent & near silent. When you consider how noisy a receiver can be with the amp & massive power supply next to sensitive audio parts, the P7 makes a lot of sense. Free the music from all that electronic noise & audiophiles can rest assured that all they're getting is the source material, to the best ability their system can muster. Fantastically well built." HOME ENTERTAINMENT 1/09

ROKSAN REVIEWS - MADE IN ENGLAND, 5 year parts & labor warranty
 
KANDY K2 Integrated Amp, list $1925, now $1795 STEREOPHILE RECOMMENDED 4/11; in same class as $6000 amps. "The stylish, solid-state K2 rated at 125W/ch, 8 ohms [134W/ch, clipping]; 200W/ch, 4 ohms & has a front-panel headphone output, 5 line-level inputs & a phono stage. The included remote control offers pushbuttons & a touchscreen for controlling all functions. One of the most listenable entry-level components I've had in my home."
 
"At a time when most other amps, [NAD, Linn,  Naim, etc.], are without phono stages, the Roksan Kandy K2's inclusion of the same may be that product's greatest technical distinction. With every speaker, the K2 distinguished itself as a clear, big-sounding, rhythmically accomplished amp. The K2 [is] one of the most listenable entry-level components. The phono section deserves special mention, not just for its freedom from hum & noise but for [its] slight & pleasant roundness. The K2 strikes me as the sort of amp one can grow into for quite some time before wanting more; a neat balancing act, carried off here with rare success. The Roksan happens to be built like Schik Brithouse, offers very good value for the money & I enjoyed every minute spent listening with it. Highly recommended." STEREOPHILE on line 5/15/10
