Parasound HCA-1206 High Current Six Channel Amplifier
For your consideration, we have a well built Parasound HCA-1206 High Current Six Channel Amplifier from a working Parasound system in a custom install. The amp is in perfect working order. This beast of an amp has plenty of power at 135 watts per channel at 8 ohms, and weighs in at over 70lbs. Channels 3&4, and 5&6 can be bridged mono. We cleaned the 6 potentiometers on the back, as well as the switches and then treated them with Deoxit F5, and D5 respectively. We checked the inside of the amp and saw no signs of swollen or leaking caps, and any signs of heat stress. It is very clean, as can be seen in the pictures in the listing.
On our bench, we hooked the amp up to a Sencore PA81 Stereo Power Amplifier Analyzer acting as a dummy load and Oscilloscope interface. Using an audio generator, we ran a 1k signal through the amp's inputs, slowly increasing the amplitude while monitoring the output on our oscilloscope for signs of noise, clipping, distortion, or improper channel balance. All six channels tested clean on the scope. The amp is rated at 135 watts per channel, and produced a clean signal at 135 watts per channel. We then hooked the amp up to one of our house systems, and ran each channel for 8 hours. We were very please with the sound of the amp.
Physically the unit is in very good condition, with only minor blemishes. There are no dents or deep scratches. Usually heavy amps like this take a bit of a beating over the years, but this unit was initially installed in a custom setup, and never touched until we purchased and removed it. See the many pictures of the amplifier in this listing.
Included with the amp are the original owners manual, and an ac cord.
While we don't have the original box for the amp, we will double box the unit for shipping with the inner box suspended within the outer box. We will also strap the outer box for added protection. We take packing and shipping seriously, and do all we can to protect the gear we sell during transit.
