I wonder how a GAT playing through a CA200 would sound as a short term solution?
Congrats! I'm picturing it in an infant car seat with a warm blanket around it! I bet with the GAT and moderately efficient speakers, that would be a very hard setup to beat. The GAT should super charge the imaging and midrange magic, and the CA200 will deliver the grunt and speed.

Pretty close, I'll just keep the car running with the heat on This should get me a good taste of honey.

It's a 45 minute ride home. I'll put the amp next to me and crank the heat Hope it's warm enough to get her going.

LOVE my CA-200 oddly I "downgraded" from a 350 and absolutely never miss it. The 200 is the closest you can get and sounds just as good if you don't need the extra power. Never heard an integrated amp come close and that includes the Pass Labs and BAT.

Hi Hibbing. Glad you are enjoying your CA200. If you have a DAC with digital volume control or a PC based source give it a go as a straight power amp using the Theatre bypass input, digital volume control ( hardware or software) and let us know what you think. It's an interesting experiment and I know what I preferred.

As a matter of fact I have both. Thanks for the tip I'll try that right now.
