Who remembers California Audio Labs?
CAL certainly made a big splash in the early days of digital. I owned an Icon for a number of years and enjoyed it so much that when Power Boss was announced I had my Icon upgraded to a Power Boss. And then California Audio Labs was bought out and disappeared. Not overnight but from the perspective of time, it seems so. Anyone else wonder what could have been the company’s future had their trajectory followed a different path?
I still have, and listen to, my pop's hand-me-down Aria CD player. Everything works fine, even the remote. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5oGQwprgkNY/maxresdefault.jpg (The above image is not mine but is an example of the unit) Admittedly it doesn't get much use as all of my CDs are ripped but now and then I'll pop in a CD just to keep it limber. Happy listening. |
