Anyone hear the Van Alstine CA1 Control Amplifier or NP1 amp demoed?

I also wondered how an NP-1 would go with say a Musician Monoceros? If the amp is a bit cooler and transparent, the pre mentioned might add some warmth and low end heft from what I read from others.  If I bought the NP-1 I might have gone that route.

@gano curious what your questions were? 

@seanheis1 

I would like to know if it's really as good as the reviews, what makes it magical, and any specific sound, best pairing?

@grislybutter I use Van Alstine SET 120 Power amp. Check out part time audiophiles review of it. 

Re: CA1. I have not heard it. From how folks are describing it, it is not the sound that I chase ;-) 

thanks @seanheis1 

I am out of sync with part time audiophiles, don't get them usually
