A uniquely cost-effective preamplifier that doesn't compromise your music. A massive power supply for deeper, cleaner bass and better dynamics. The fact that it's direct coupled for the cleanest possible signal and has five inputs-including a clean RIAA phono stage for your turntable-makes this a value that's hard to beat.

FAQ
- Does the PHP-850 include a remote control?
No. As a step up from a basic receiver, it was necessary to leave remote capability out in order to offer the performance the PHP-850 does at it's price.
- There are two outputs on the back. I'm confused, which one do I use to hook up to my amplifier?
The two outputs are labeled Normal and Direct. The Normal output should be used for amplifiers that you are not sure can protect your speakers from DC in the signal path. The Direct output can be used for all Parasound amplifiers since they include DC Servos to protect your speakers from DC in the signal path. If you are unsure, call you amplifer manufacturer or use the Normal output.
