Do our CFA-3's have a fuse in the PS and if so has anyone tried an audiophile fuse to see if it made any change?

All my amps use fuse. 5x20mm size. The fuse tray is accessed externally, it is on the IEC inlet. There is a small tab that can be pried open with a flathead screwdriver and the tray should pop out. 2,5A rating for 230V and 3,15A for 115V. Slow blow.

Thanks for the info..... Has anyone tried one of these SR Purple fuses in the CFA-3?

a new year teaser
sanken output transistors.
with a big enough power supply, capable of 25 amps.
yes the power supply will be switchers designed for class D amplifiers

Hi @Dukei, do you still build the CFA3 for people interested? I am for my current hungry DCA Expanse.

is cfa capable to drives susvara properly

how is cfa3 compared to enleum with susvara

Seems like this could have been like an uberamp3.

 

[kevin gilmore]

uberamp2 is good for 500 watts into 8 ohms. and is a true cfa amplifier. not zero feedback.

Always the nth degree.

What's the output proposed for the new teaser amp?

 

[kevin gilmore]

it will work with power supplies from +/-24v to +/-45v.
with +/-40v power its 100 watts rms per channel into 8 ohms.

subject to suitable sized heatsinks and power supply

I do love the CFA3 driving my 74dB/mW K1000, this combo is getting more and more headtime and it gets very loud at about 12-13 o'clock, and it's foot tapping all the time. Maybe on my previous coment I suggested I wasnt getting enough volume with classical, I should further clarify I may have put too much emphasis on those 3-4 test albums where the recording is exceptionally low volume. Other then those, even the average classical recording gets plenty low at around 12
I heard the Susvara and HD800s on the Volot (rated 16W at 32ohm), then the 800s on the CFA3 and prefered the CFA sound signature (this is admitdly on different systems and short listens on the Volot, so dont quote me on this). All that said, sorry but havnt listened the Sus on the CFA.

And so do I need another amp.

there is no HP that the CFA3 cannot drive

You were supposed to say no.
