OMTEC CA25, CA60 + CP1 ... really very nice sounding ..... but the power amps are classe A ...and not as powerful as eg the TSS .... the CP1 phono stage is among the very best !

I've heard a lot of good things about Exposure, you've obviously had your share, can you describe the Exposure 'house sound' if they have one
