Well, with some amps he builds them and doesn't even bother to test they work properly.

That is crazy!!! Only buy from @Dukei

This is very good news, and very bad news, and very inevitable.

What is the VERY bad news- and what is VERY inevitable?

We must improve the literacy of these forum members.

It means, yes, another Gilmore amp, and then another Gilmore amp, and then...

Well, at least let me get a cheek in!

Direct cheeky baloney?

That's the sound signature of Wells amps. Nods.

Will anyone involved involved in this thread be receiving the new CFA-3 hybrid with tube input for review?

 

[Bhk1004]

Dukei saying it's good not enough for you?

 

[Bhk1004]

I just realized how dickish that sounded lol. Sorry I was just teasing, and yes of course at least 1 person in here will hear it outside of Dukei. Most likely at least 2.

 

[rsbrsvp]

no problem. Thanks for the info..

I found one review of the Bakoon 13R VS CFA 3 here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hifiman-susvara.853031/page-911#post-16752381

Having read that and reviews of the AMP-23R, it seems like the 23R's sound signature features elements found in both the 13R and CFA3.

Lately I find myself split between the 23R and CFA3 as far as headphone amp upgrades go.

I've actually found myself in the same situation as well. Though this new tube input version of the CFA3 does sound like it could potentially be better than the 23r overall. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

 

[rsbrsvp]

If the CFA-3 tube version is just going to lean it more towards the 23R, perhaps the 23R would be the better choice as one need not get into tube costs, rolling and experimentation.

Perhaps I am oversimplifying.

Does anyone know where I can get a cable to go from the 4 pin xlr headphone out of the CFA3 to the speaker inputs of the Raal sr1a box? Want to try and see how it sounds.
