I don't know your Parasound, but I just moved up to a Rowland phono stage from the Pro-ject Tube Box SE. It's sweet with a neutral tonal color. I'll be letting it go for $250 plus shipping if you're interested. I think it's got about 600-hours on it, barely broken in.

I moved up from the super bottom of the line project solid state box to the Grado PH-1. What a change. It's about $500 and it sounds awesome. I'd love to get my hands on a good tube stage though to try it out.
