Zrock with a solid state amp
07/19/25 at 20:45:45
 
Hi, all, would a Zrock3 play nicely with a solid state amp, specifically a parasound halo integrated amp. I'm not an electrical engineer so I don't know anything about impedance matching, etc. Has anybody done this? What can I expect?

I don't know specifically about the parasound halo but pre-Decware I always had a tube preamp in front of my solid state amps. The Decware product page says:

Will Drive Preamps or amplifiers with input impedances of 24K ~ 200K

So check the specs for you amp if you're worried.

I have played a ZStage and ZRock2 with ADCOM amps and they play great together.  Currently I have my ZR2 in with my Ps Audio BHK250 and it makes a big difference.  I would not hesitate.  Good Luck.
