FS: Parasound HCA 1000 amp

**Early B.** · 04-20-2005 05:25 PM

For sale is a Parasound HCA-1000 THX-certified amp in very good condition. Works perfectly; only issues are cosmetic – has a “rash” (i.e., discoloration) on the top of the unit. The face is fairly clean. No dings or dents. I’m using it to power my rear speakers. Here are the specs:

125W RMS x 2 into 8ohms
200W RMS x 2 into 4ohms

There is a switch on the back to bridge the channels for Mono use. In bridged mode it pumps out a whopping 400 watts into 8ohms.

Price is $250 shipped to lower 48. Please post your interest in the unit here, then PM me. PayPal is preferred. I will ship it out within 24 hours. Thanks.

**Dennis Gardner** · 04-20-2005 06:00 PM

Quick draw Mark! Nice price too. :) :)

**Spawndn72** · 04-20-2005 06:00 PM

I figured that one would go quickly.

Doro -- here are your pics...

**Early B.** · 04-20-2005 06:32 PM

Number 2 of 3...

**Early B.** · 04-20-2005 06:33 PM

Last one...

**dorokusai** · 04-20-2005 06:43 PM

Is that a rack mount? If it's a rack mount, I'll have to pass....sorry, it wasn't mentioned in the description so I figured it was a full 19" faceplate.

EarlyB - if someone wants a nice 2 ch. rig, I have the matching P/HP-850 preamp in the rackmount version that I was trying to get around to taking pictures of and listing on the forum yet this week.

**RuSsMaN** · 04-20-2005 07:03 PM

Mark, you are thinking of the 1000'a', like what I sent up to your buddy.

Cheers,
Russ

Oh, I didn't even give it a thought.

Still available if anyone else is interested.

**dorokusai** · 04-20-2005 08:05 PM

Russman - Yep, that's who was interested...thaks.

Early - Sorry for jumping the gun.

This is a great amp at a great price, someone else :) should buy this immediately.

The 850 pre is a nice one too. I used it on the 1 C's for a while. Great SS for the price..

I would snatch this 1000a if i needed it :)

BTW Early is a stand up guy no worries at all....

Very tempting but I must keep saving for an HDTV or I'd snatch this up in a second :(

**dorokusai** · 04-20-2005 11:54 PM

Iomic....it's a modest investment....it can't possibly hold you back THAT much ;)

**Early B.** · 04-21-2005 08:24 AM

Gone to the 'Gon for a quick sale. Last chance -- $15 cheaper here on the forum.

**lomic** · 04-22-2005 04:52 AM

I'm 23, and since I started my current job and built this entire system I've made around $17,000 over the last year - so these are pretty big expenses for me, but luckily I have pretty low rent.

Anyway, It would add another month to buying an HDTV if I got the amp, and the difference between 55wpc and 200wpc for my rears seems like a less significant difference than finally being able to use the Denon's PureProgressive goodness :)

**gshisme** · 04-23-2005 10:39 PM

Early B,

Still available here? If so I'll snatch 'er. PM sent.

**audiobliss** · 04-23-2005 11:03 PM

Man, this was just two days ago? How did I miss it?! Looks like a great deal, esp. with the pre-amp, too.

**Early B.** · 04-24-2005 06:14 AM

(edit: NOT) SOLD!

**gshisme** · 04-24-2005 08:07 AM

Actually...no. I have to put on the brakes on this one. I didn't realize the unit won't fit in my rack until I checked out dkg999's
thread for the 850 which I was gonna' grab also. That's when I realized I had issues with the width of the faceplate. Of course had I read the whole thread here I would have realized that.

Sorry Early, I gotta' back out of this one. Stupid me!

**Early B.** · 04-24-2005 03:51 PM

No problem. Thanks anyway.

**ledhed** · 04-24-2005 07:01 PM

so is it still available?

**Early B.** · 04-24-2005 07:04 PM

Yeah, it's still available, but will be listed on ebay tonight around 10 p.m. EST. Act fast if you're interested in snagging it.

**ledhed** · 04-24-2005 10:33 PM

dang it-saw this at 10:30. Man-if only I had a job so I could have the dough-maybe my parents will give me an early 17th birthday present.....;)

**RuSsMaN** · 04-24-2005 10:45 PM

This is Pathetic.

Sometimes Hi-Fidelity must just escape this bunch. I can't believe this is still here.

Cheers,
Russ

**dorokusai** · 04-24-2005 10:57 PM

It's a solid performer, perfect for the first foray into Parasound....it is weird.

**mlong** · 04-24-2005 11:12 PM

I'll buy it. I will PM you.

Mark

**mlong** · 04-25-2005 12:32 AM

Thanks Early
