Cary CAA-1 Class D

Cary Audio 
CAA1 Power Amplifier

Used and in great condition. Low hours of use. 2 sets of speaker outputs, single ended and balanced inputs. Trigger input for remote turn on. Condition is good, a couple light marks here and there, completely presentable. Bought for a short term system away from my home.  Now back home, don’t need it. Comes with the original manual, power cord and double boxes. 

The CAA 1 power amplifier design offers high output power and high efficiency in an attractive small chassis. The CAA 1 is rated at 125 watts per channel into an 8 ohm load and it is capable of doubling the output power to 250 watts into a 4 ohm load. This type of performance is only possible with rugged, over designed power supplies. The output terminals are designed for bi-wire operation. Efficient, musical and cool running are all great design aspects of the CAA 1 power amplifier. Compared to other amps I have owned, this amps very detailed and lively. If I received this rated at an 8, I would be happy, I’m rating it at a 7 to follow Audiogon policy.
