For Parasound source gear

Recently acquired a P6 and an A21+ and I’m really happy with both with very little to gripe about.
A21+ is really solid. I haven’t had this kind of power on tap in any of my systems. There’s an ease to everything. That ease along with its slightly warm neutral tuning makes it a good relaxing listen with all my music. It’s surrounded by lesser gear but I have to think it’s elevating all of it. No negatives here. Just love.
P6 really clicked with the A21+ (unsurprisingly) when it replaced the Bryston integrated I had been using for preamp duties. Much more inline with my preferences. The DAC in the P6 is fine and it’s comparable to what’s in the Node I use. The phono stage is… not good. A Schiit Mani is a significant step up. I like everything else though. It’s quiet and easy to use and the synergy is obvious.
I’ll most likely purchase a Parasound phono stage next. The brand just seems to nail it for me.
