Yesterday I took ownership of a lovely clean example of a Creek CAS 4040 S3.
It previously belonged to my best friend and was purchased new by his father in 1991/2 so I know the history of the amp from new.
I've coveted this little amp for 22 years since I first heard it playing through some big ol' Leak sandwich speakers and finally it's mine!
It now has pride of place in my 'second system' in the dining room. hooked up to a classic TDA1541 based Sony CDP and Wharfedale Diamonds it sounds just a great as I remember.
