Who remembers California Audio Labs?

I remember CAL. They made a decent transport. If they were still in business my guess is that they would be similar to, but a more lower priced Wadia.

I had a CAL Alpha 24/96 DAC and Delta transport.   It was a great combo, it replaced a CD player and Audio Alchemy DAC and was a step up for sure.  

GoVideo bought them and that was the end....  

Yes I remember CAL and their products, at the time they were quite cutting edge. I believe that their transport and CD players were built on the Phillips machines utilizing the CD4 transport system. Although never owning any of their products I did run the big Phillips CD80 cd player, first as a player and then as a transport digitally linked out to the original PS Audio Digital Link and adding the Audio Alchemy Digital DTI filter in the chain when they became available. This system I ran for a good 12 years and had me just purchasing CDs and neglecting my analog setup. Happy to say I am back on the analog side of things as my primary. Enjoy the music

I had a CAL CL-10 5-disc CD player.  The transport carousel design was not robust and it broke twice.  I sent it back for repair the first time but I junked it after the second time.  Despite the mechanics, the sound was good; I felt bad about saying goodbye.

I'm still running an Icon MkII.
