I've had the CA1 for a couple of months and believe it is a great all-around performer for its price. I found it to be sensitive to speaker type, impedance, etc. I is a nice balance between my 5 watt class A tube and Vera Audio P150/600 Purfi-based class D amps. Transparent with reasonable sound stage and power. I have not tried the phono stage. I currently listen to it via Audio Note AN-K SPe speakers.
