Lummy-
did you like the CAL over the Adcom spinner?
Follow Ups:
That's not a proper comparison. The CAL was a $1495 single-disc player. The Adcom was a mass-market $700 CD changer.For those of you who follow my homepage, starting in 2009, I covered the CAL Icon Mk.II Power Boss.
In March 2012, I did an extensive review of the Adcom GCD-700. My readers were hootin' and hollerin', over the lingerie.
If you are paying attention to what other posters with experience have written, the Adcom GCD-700 makes a really fun transport.
One thing I neglected to blog about was after-market fuses. Because the GCD-700 has 5 or 6, the cost of the fuses might exceed that of the GCD-700 itself!
Again, assuming we have matched the speaker to the room, the most important factor is the source. The source sets the table, and everything else downstream only introduces errors. SAs rarely grasp this concept, and that is why they keep chasing their tails.
Anyway, in the photo above, you can barely make out the Thiel CS2.4. It was at the receiving end of a system comprising the Cary CD-303/300 (awful); Simaudio P-8 (at its price, its slight warmth precludes it from getting a recommendation); and Meridian G57 (not bad; would prefer to be used with other Meridian G-series components). Oh, and can you make out the slim-line NAD DVD player?

Nice pic! Lummy
Is CAL still in business? If not, what happened to this company?
Love how these threads get hijacked into something totally off the original intent.
Don't want a tube input / solid state output integrated like the BAT. Been there, done that with other hybrid integrateds. Looking strictly for tubed output.
Not a hijack, just a very nice flow of info.
So, which amp are you going to buy?
