CA18 isn't a £900-£1000 amp

Don't take this the wrong way, but maybe these now are £900 amps? Just due to supply and demand, as they don't make them any more, and there will be fewer tidy working ones left, maybe keeping the re-sale price decent? After 5 months of looking, that's the conclusion I would have come to, market forces and all that. Just saying...

And no, I don't have any for sale currently, the one I had years ago sounded great, but you had to give the front of it a hard slap to get it to work. Much like me, nowadays.

To add too still got original mk1 Soundstanded amp..still going strong , not the water down ones.....pretty powerfull too still

There was only 1x Chinese heavy amp I heard of, that, would really outplay CA18.

It had huge transformer, huge amount of smoothing per channel, and huge amount of output devices.

Was probably 9001 clone.

Never, ever, found out who made them..
