Reviews

HIFI Sound Enthusiast, August 2020
"The Parasound exhibits airiness, which is rarely found in a system at this price. As a result, vocal tracks have this impression of the artists' breath as they sing, which adds to an already very realistic musical experience. Not to forget, the Parasound has this composure to it, completing the realism experience when listening to the NewClassic 200 integrated. Typically, I would hear such composure and realism with more expensive systems, so it is very impressive that Parasound can present such a sound with their budget-priced integrated."

Sound & Vision, March 2020
"Parasound's 200 Integrated is not just all of these but also audiophile and adaptable enough to get all the music out of your music, and all the functionality out of your system."

HI-FI Trends, November 2019
"With the NewClassic 200 Integrated, Parasound has done a masterful job of blending a quality pre-amp with a sweet-sounding amp section. It's neutral and transparent sound will make any speaker you hook up to it sound amazing!"

"Right out of the box, I was impressed by what I heard. The clarity, detail, and grace were immediately apparent."
