Good Sound, December 2004
"The P 3's rear panel is an example of the careful design of which Parasound should be proud. Everything is neatly and logically arranged." "The addition of not only a phono preamp but the ability to turn it on or off puts the P 3 at the head of the pack at its price." "My son began dancing while I played this CD through the Parasound combo (P 3/A 23) - they passed the toe-tapping test with flying colors." "Parasound's Halo P 3 preamplifier and Halo A 23 power amplifier are sexy in appearance, easy to use, and sound solid and satisfying." "Good value and good sound: a winning combination!" - Eric Hetherington

"It was amazing to hear what I had been missing." "The HALO system makes movies sound real. The sounds sound real. So real in fact, you'll find yourself doing a double take." "The sound of the ocean breeze, and the waves hitting the rocks and rolling onto the shore was so realistic, I started imagining a Corona in my hand." "Although there are only two speakers attached to this system(P 3/A 23), the three dimensional imaging produced by this system is really outstanding." "Absolutely the best bang for the buck that money can buy." Editor's Choice - Stephen Fung

Stereo Times, April 2003
"I did some listening after a brief warm-up period and I'd have to say, any audiophile on a budget could well start and stop their search right here." "The first thing that struck me was an uncanny sense of naturalness from the treble down through the bass." - Greg Petan

Audiorevolution.com, December 2002
"...the P 3/A 23 system was more than up to the task when it came to reproducing intimate recordings." "For the price, you would be hard-pressed to find a system with better build quality and aesthetics. This system is major league, at a minor league price." - Brian Kahn
The Absolute Sound, November 2002
"I had intended to listen for just a minute or two before letting the components warm up together. I was still in my chair 45 minutes later." "You'll have to spend more money to get better performance, in many cases a lot more. This Halo P 3/A 23 combo is the kind of system that should be celebrated as an invitation to participate in high-end audio as a hobby." - Shane Buettner
T3 (UK), November 2002
"Indeed, the £1,500 package price (A 23/P 3) would be a snip if it was for the P 3 preamp alone." "...Parasounds hit the spot at a remarkable price." - David Vivian
Hi-Fi Choice (UK), November 2002
"...the Halo kit (P 3/A 23) stands out like a Ferrari amid a car park full of Vauxhalls. It's sleek, solid and stylish..." "Beautifully built with even-handed, natural sound. Deep sound stage and bolted-down stereo image." "Looks like high-end electronics, sounds like high-end electronics, priced like mid-fi." - Alan Sircom
Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, October 2002
"..I enjoyed my experience so much I stayed up till 2 am listening." "Parasound hit the nail on the head with the P 3." "To find a stereo preamp with the same features that will outperform the P 3 by any significant amount you are going to end up paying 2 or 3 times the cost, and you will still be short a few features." - Sandy Bird
