I found someone locally who builds the CFA3 and I'm looking into it. My goodness my wallet is aching. I just preordered a Burson GT and now I'm looking into the CFA 3 while the new iPhone also just came out. lol.

Sorry man, who/what is a Thuan?Do share. We're hoping it is not Thuan. Sigh.
If it's the name of the person building the CFA3, nope not a Thuan.

Yeah need to be careful with who the builder is. It’s best if you could see the internals of his past builds and consult with someone who has extensive experience with KG amps.I found someone locally who builds the CFA3 and I'm looking into it.

Fortunately / unfortunately he, too, built a few CFA3's. And Dynahi.Yeah need to be careful with who the builder is. It’s best if you could see the internals of his past builds and consult with someone who has extensive experience with KG amps.

Luckily he didn't seem to completely **** those builds.
But totally suspect.

Thuan/Tran is a singular name of a multitude brand. Felitsa. FLS. Lil Knight. The list goes on.Sorry man, who/what is a Thuan?

Past, present, future builds are all criminal.
He is based in Singapore.

Genius... Wish I would have thought of the volume indicatorThe pimped lights are oh so ridiculous. LOL
You should have done an led style volume indicator ring.
Very nice despite the outlandish nature which is all fun.
I'm mostly excited about the external PSU though. The lower noise floor will be hugely beneficial. I'm also really looking forward to pitting it against the WA33 EE JPS. I can't imagine any SS amp, even the CFA3, competing with the gorgeous harmonics and sheer open staging this thing provides. I guess we'll see...
I'm from Singapore and recently had a SuperSymmetry Dynahi built here by a loca DIYer (not Felitsa) and I am 101% sure Felitsa is based out of Vietnam and not Singapore.Thuan/Tran is a singular name of a multitude brand. Felitsa. FLS. Lil Knight. The list goes on.

I posted some pics of my build on the Head-fi FB group yesterday and someone commented being worried about my build in case it was being built by Felitsa.
I am interested to know what was so bad about Felitsa's build so I can better educate myself
In any case I am really happy with the results of my build and never heard the Susvara better before.
Better not use your susvara with that amp if builder has a shady reputation. Else it will be disaster waiting to happen. Just use it with a K7xx so that your damage will be acceptable.I'm from Singapore and recently had a SuperSymmetry Dynahi built here by a loca DIYer (not Felitsa) and I am 101% sure Felitsa is based out of Vietnam and not Singapore.

100% agree. I'm thankful the guy who built my amp loaned me a unit to test and used it for quite awhile before I was satisfied and commissioned him to build it for me.Better not use your susvara with that amp if builder has a shady reputation.

Felitsa is not just 1. For example, he started out as Lil Knight having base in Australia. Don't forget, Lil Knight stole $20k from friends, from KGSSHV and T2 commissions.I'm from Singapore and recently had a SuperSymmetry Dynahi built here by a loca DIYer (not Felitsa) and I am 101% sure Felitsa is based out of Vietnam and not Singapore.

Thuan/Tran are his latest incarnations. Vietnam / Singapore, who knows where else.
Still doing criminal crap.
Hope Dukei doesn't mind me sharing it here but we're currently doing an SMD build of the CFA3 that lets us use a shorter and narrower case (the 400mm depth was just too big!). It's a 3U high case but the best part is it allows us to flat lay the amp boards on the side heatsinks for a real amp-like look inside. With this there's so much space left inside it gives you a lot of upgrade options like going dual torroid, relay type attenuator, possibly even a dac board if you fancy that. The overall compactness of the amp is a big deal given they'll most likely end up on a desktop for most users and is one of the reasons I'm moving away from using speaker amps for my TC without losing the power.
Anyways, Felitsa / lil knight / Thuan / Tran whoever he is has his pic on FB before and I met my builder. Looks totally different.Felitsa is not just 1.
