I just ordered an all black cfa3 from miroslav today
i went with a tkd motorized remote volume control,and upgraded parts.
went with some toshiba output resistors to warm it up a little….

Good man.

More and more.

Is anyone making a miniaturized version of this? I'm vain, or you could say my wife is. I'm allowed to buy whatever I want as long as it doesn't offend her decor sensibilities and Doug's amps are usually the only ones she approves (mostly one box, small-ish, tube-less, understated, and elegantly dressed in wood). But I want an planar amp for Rognir and Snorry NM-1...I'm hoping to avoid having to buy the GS-X mini, which would pass the purchasing department.

I don't think SMD versions have surfaced yet.

You could pursue the CFA2. A little more manageable sizing and perhaps dress it up more WAF appropriate.

Rognir isn't difficult to drive and was fantastic with CFA3, I'd surmise a very nice match with CFA2.

Rognir is sublime from the 3F as like you say it isn't particularly hard to drive. I suppose maybe it can sound better but I wouldn't be too inclined to find a new amp just for it. The NM-1 OTOH I feel I may be leaving some meat on the bone via the 3F even though it still does sound excellent. I'm thinking maybe a Copenhagen-S but my wallet doesn't want to go there yet.

Well, Doug recommended the DSHA4F for the Abyss, but I would agree general character (presumed 3F >4F) unchanged, with just power opened a little more would be too soft, though I haven't heard the NM-1. The Copenhagen is proposed to be more heavily 3rd harmonic so may provide a more dynamic character.

Not sure how miniature you'll get any of these.

Posted this on Susvara thread, but it definitely belongs here. Still on its way to me, can’t wait to get it. Thanks @Dukei !! I believe this is identical with @littlej0e ’s CFA3.

Why is everyone stealing my speaker taps! Haha. Congrats she looks fantastic! Definitely let us know what you think when you get it!

Hahaha definitely inspired by yours Thanks, yes will report back once I get it

I'm really happy more people are getting it. It's fantastic for near field or running efficient speakers. Really makes it much more flexible for all around usage.

Guilty here as well for stealing the speaker taps. Seems like a flexible option to allow for an energizer or a Raal interface or, I guess, loudspeakers.

Yes, I’m actually planning to have CFA3 drive SR1a as well, that’s why I opted for the speaker taps.

littlej0e wanted to be different than the rest of y'all . Pics may surface soon.
