It's gonna be more expensive, that's for sure
It's hard to say how they will differentiate in sound without having heard their rendition. Will probably be a smaller difference if I had to guess.glad to see you keeping us on our toes....perhaps you have answered this but how do you think the new cFA3 version coming soon will compare with your versions or mine lol
Yes. Different class of sound.Do you think CF3 (I am in the pre-order) will give something more than the gs-x mini I own ?
My headphone are HD650 and I am using them in balanced.
I have both of these amps, but I havent had the chance to test it out as of yet. I'll test it out and let you know.Just got my CFA3 back from Dukei after it developed a wee problem (Miroslav was great to deal with as usual). I’ve been using my old Moon 430 and the difference is huge. Very glad to have it back.
Still toying with ordering a 300B pre-amp but the CFA3 just sounds so good as it is. I really like the look of the Supratek (would be even better for me if Mick was in Sydney/Melbourne instead of W Australia) but I can’t decide if an Envy would be a better option (as i could use it as both a stand-alone and a pre-amp). If someone has used the Envy into a CFA3 please let me know how it went.
And if anyone is interested in portable audio - I got a 320Max Ti a month ago. The best compliment I can give it is that it’s like a mini CFA3….The sound signature and sense of power is very familiar to my ears. It can even power my Susvaras.
Please do. Very interested in your thoughts.I have both of these amps, but I havent had the chance to test it out as of yet. I'll test it out and let you know.
Fwiw I only have the stock tubes on the envy, so I have no point of reference in terms of what WE or Elrogs would sound like with it, but its pretty impressive thus far.
Initially, we employed an RK27 potentiometer, but it presented challenges related to channel balance. To achieve the desired balance, it was necessary to turn the vol knob beyond 10 o'clock. Subsequently, we made the transition to a custom-made stepped attenuator equipped with Dale resistors.What volume control do you have installed?
I see you used Bingzi transformers, are they better than Talema?
Finally ready to be shipped. Dukei also made an attenuator box to be used with sensitive headphones.
Yes I do have a regular CFA3Looks amazingly built as we have come to expect from Dukei, very well made and super impressive. I’m slowly collecting parts to do something sort of similar, thanks to kindness giving me some pointers. The DIY community aspect of this is awesome.
Do you have a regular CFA 3 to compare to?
I will be very curious your impressions.
Looking forward to the comparison.Yes I do have a regular CFA3
