I am still looking for a new preamp, and was wondering if anyone here owns, or has heard the Parasound Halo 3? Any input on it would be great as I'm seriously considering buying one.

I've heard good things about Parasound and how transparent they are. A sure way to test transparency is to play a CDP directly through your amp and then with the preamp in-line. If you hear ANY difference, it is the preamp and you can judge from there.
