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


Anyone hear the CA1 Control Amplifier or NP1 amp demoed yet? 

Any comparisons to the Set amp? 

I suppose there will be more feedback once production units start shipping.

I was very interested in the CA-1. I emailed them with a few questions, 3 times, crickets.

That's discouraging enough for me to pursue something else.

@gano understandably, that's very discouraging.  that being said, i got the complete flip side of what you got.  when i was looking at replacing my preamp,  frank himself was the only one out of 3 manufacturers that got back to me.  i bought the preamp from him.  odyssey, and i forget who else, never bothered to reply.  i hope it works out for you. 

thanks @shtinkydog!

It could have been many reasons why my email was ignored, went to junk, busy week, moving, maybe I will circle back. 

@gano true.  i know how frustrating it can be when you're in that position, anxious and ready to pull the trigger.  again, good luck!

I do know they were recently in the process of moving and that's something that can derail service for awhile. Not making any excuses as they have a long history of mostly positive feedback, especially regarding the gear itself.  Once I had a chance to listen to mine I'll report back.
