You can see them in the article.

 Would it be possible to post a picture or pictures of the new CA1 with it's cover off so we can see what the inside looks like as with the SET 120 control amp? One of the things I love about the set 120 control amp is the simplicity and clean layout inside and neatness of design. I suspect the CA1 is similar in that respect but of course with the phono preamp included. The most beautiful piece of gear I ever owned on the outside was the Tandberg TR2060 in the late seventies, but inside it was a spaghetti farm with wire crisscrossing from one side to the other. It looked a mess to be honest and offended my ocd nature I guess, so I kept the lid on at all times. The irony was that the unit they had on display in the store had a plexiglass cover so you could see the inside, and I thought why? Why spoil the illusion of perfection by showing people that mess, but whatever.

Insides of new AVA NP1 power amp.  Control amp adds phono board, headphones board,  remote receiver board, motor driven volume control, and four position selector switch.

Sound is over the top fantastic! Just starting to ship now.

Nice, clean layout. Hope to see a review soon.

Beautiful, I'm probably one of the few that think the beauty of the inside is as important as the outside. You should probably post this on your website because there's likely a few like me that will be impressed by how tidy it is.

Here is another photo showing the insides of the new AVA CA1 Control amplifier.

 Lol, I thought the first pic was the CA1 and I couldn't figure out where everything was, but now it makes sense. This also looks wonderfully neat, even with all the added features over the 120 control amp. You design great stuff Frank, and to think I only heard about you and your company a couple of years ago. It doesn't seem possible with all the years of interest in HiFi gear I've had. I could have saved myself a lot of time and money if I had known, but better late to the party than never I guess.

Would just like to verify the gain of the CA1 is (max volume position) 36dB on any input, not the phono input?
