🎛️ Pure Analog Focus—Add Your Source, Amplify Your Passion
The HALO JC2BP is a high-end analog preamplifier—clean, quiet, and crafted for listeners who already have a source you love. It doesn’t include a DAC, so it works perfectly with your turntable, streamer, CD transport, or any digital converter you choose.
Designed by John Curl and built for ultra-high-fidelity performance, its dual-mono architecture and all-analog signal path prioritize transparency and musicality. If you're serious about sound and already have a trusted DAC or analog source, this is the control center that completes the system.
