47-step attenuators mounted onto our PCBs, laser engraved for chassis conductivity CFA3 input connector PCBs ready to be mounted on panels

It definitely would be A LOT easier to ship out T8000 boxes than building Blue Hawaii SE's! We do have T8000's in stock right now too!

The back all finished

Yes! Getting it done..

Don't think so - as far as I can tell, the serial #s are sequential starting with 1000. It's been almost 3 years since the X9000 announcement, and they make a little more than 1 pair per day

Yes, there is!

Correct, no loop out - there are 2x XLR inputs and 1x RCA output big arrivals coming this week!

To be continued…still time to come out today or tomorrow in the Chicago area! (Schaumburg, Renaissance Hotel)

CFA3 Standard edition all assembled in the production enclosure. Heatsink will be entirely black on the rest of them. secret vents were added on the base of the heatsink Size comparison with HIFIMAN Susvara (one of my favorite HPs with this amp) Just needs laser engraving

Two days ago we received the HP Protection PCBs for the CFA3, just one more piece we were waiting for. It's a miniaturized version of Kevin Gilmore's 'Balanced Headphone Protector' PCB with a few tweaks. The purpose of the Protection PCB is to disconnect the headphones from the amp if there is...

The plexiglass CFA3 actually had the latest version of the circuit boards that we just got put together the day before the show, didnt even have time to test the amp before driving to the show. All the production versions that we're building now will be with the same design/components

All the machining has been done, this was checking out a piece from the production lot.

Time to build!!!

Patiently waiting for a very important package related to the CFA3 today :grinning:

If someone wants to build it we'll buy it, contact us =D
