Parasound 2125 V2

Hi,

Pretty sure I got Facebook scammed. I bought the amp from the seller but didn't test -lesson learned. Got home and plugged in the 2 channel Parasound amp and could hear nothing -would not power-up.


Here’s what I tried:

• Removed cover and the red led behind the front panel’s power button is dimly lit. From what I’ve read, it maybe stuck in Standby mode?
• Continuity tested the fuses both are good
• Inside looks clean, no smell, no char

If based on the above you think it’s worth repairing, please let me know. Thank you!

Depends on what you paid. Looks pretty good inside

I wonder if the new owners of Parasound would be of any help? I take it you're adept at installing a piece of gear like this?

The V2 model was produced from 2018 to 2024, and so was produced before and after the new owners took over. No circuit diagrams are available, so you will have to talk to Parasound about repair. It has through board component mounting and not surface mount, so repair should be feasible.

I live by if it's too good to be true, it probably is. I did know there was the possibility of getting scammed on Facebook when I bought the amp, so the perpetrator didn't empty my wallet. I noticed the same Parasound amp (2125 V2) that I got scammed on, is being sold on Facebook at the same price point I was suckered into -buyer beware. I don't know if it's the same person using a fake profile or what.

If you paid via Pay-Pal, you are entitled to a charge back, Some banks will also offer a refund / cost cancel if you used a Visa account.

Of cause it all depends on what you paid, If the price sounded to good to be true.. It was.

If someone is selling the "same" parasound amp and not just another seemingly identical unit you can report them to ebay. I've done it a number of times to have some fake listings removed.
