About this product

Product Information

All that’s missing is the popcorn when you install the Parasound HCA-1000A 2-channel power amplifier. A terrific complement to any home theater setup, the amp uses THX sound to bring the music to the forefront and enhance every note. It creates a wall of sound that will make you feel like you are actually a part of the movie. Simple to install, it has an easy on/off switch that makes it a snap to use in any arrangement that fits with your existing equipment. Independent power supplies for channels and 500-watt Parasound technology offering circuit protection make the device a natural choice for home cinema systems. The amplifier features a design focused on high current/high bias. The frequency range of this unit is 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. That is driven by either 125 watts RMS or 200 watts RMS based on specifications of 8 ohms and 4 ohms, respectively. This product features circuitry designed by John Curl, which means that the internal circuitry binds everything together for smooth power. The 5-way speaker binding posts facilitating bi-wiring cables and internal mechanics are gold plated. They are designed to ensure that no capacitors or inductors interfere with the signal current. In addition, an independent power supply for each channel is enhanced by separate secondary wirings for each channel. In simple terminology, it means that the HCA-1000A is not only extremely durable but any temporary problems in signal can be rectified easily and quickly. This Parasound product shows outstanding performance when connected to a single pair of speakers. However, you can also use the multipair installation switch to have this amplifier run two sets of speakers in different locations. The original product from the manufacturer comes with an adjustable two-rack space height front panel and an optional rack-mounting adapter.The outstanding audio quality of these Parasound amplifiers reflects exceptional bass, which is clear even on higher notes. The damping factor of less than 1000 at 20 hertz helps stabilize mid and upper ranges, ensuring smooth sound staging and dynamics. In fact, this product is an exceptional choice for audiophiles looking for a high-quality amp that is exceptional at low and moderate listening levels. For video maniacs, this amplifier surely has the capability of tackling bold cinematic effects and explosions. These amplifiers feature Tiffany-style RCA input jacks and a looping output jack that is used for connecting this unit to another preamp, amp, and speakers. This amp also features six pairs of complementary output transistors at 15 amperes and 50 MHz, multiple protection circuits, and an audiophile quality power cord.The HCA-1000A has the extremely convenient auto turn-on feature that allows a connected preamp to turn this amp on without you having to press the power button. This is accomplished via a 12V trigger available in preamps with a triggering device, which is particularly helpful in home theater setups. The Parasound HCA-1000A is THX certified by Lucasfilm Ltd., so you know it will immerse you in awe-inspiring movie sound effects.

Beautiful sounding power amp designed by John Curl.
Very nice audiophile-quality amp designed by John Curl in the late 1990's. Good quality components throughout. One thing to be aware on the used market is that there is a simple toggle switch on the back that switches in between stereo mode and mono-block mode. During transport and handling, this switch can easily break and the result is the left channel will appear to be dead. It is a standard 3-pole toggle PCB mount toggle switch that can be replaced if you are inclined to do a bit of soldering.

Phenomenal amplifiers for the price!
It took me years before I tried Parasound products. I have used Carver TFM 35x's, Sony ES and Rotel amplifiers with my Lexicon MC-4 and MC-8. I eventually purchased a Zamp v3 just to get an idea and fell in love with the Parasound "house" sound. It lead me to purchase an HCA-750 and HCA-1000a, bot exemplary ampifiers, most notably in the imaging department. I use them to run my Magnepan MMG, with modified crossovers, and never had I had them clip, they drive them with aplomb and overall, has a nice stereo imaging both in width and depth. I also have to mention that I use 12-14 gauge power cables that really unlock the potential of these under rated amps. They really put the Carvers to shame, especially in the depth of soundstage and width. The frequency response is alluring, no hot spots to mention. I liked them so much that I ended up replacing the power supply capacitors on both my Parasounds and now, it is a pristine amplifier with Nichicon and Elna capacitors, along with a upgrade bias pots. I have sold all of my other amplifiers, enough said.Read full review

Great amp and great value
The HCA1000a is a terrific amp for the money. There are lots of good amps on the used market, but I think that if you follow Parasound stuff you will see that it is in demand and has good resale value. If buying gear like the 1000 used there is little risk because it sells very reasonable prices and they great products for the money. If you don't like sell it and you probably will be close to even. I have kept all my Parasound stuff, but moved more expensive gear that I didn't feel performed to its price. Parasound used gear is great value.
