Sorry for the delay. My new amp is a 2 chassis CFA3. It is a long story how this happened, but after 12 months the CFA3 is finally home. And it sounds amazing with the Caldera. My other SS amp is the very rare Cembalo Labs Spring 1. It has been my main amp for almost 3 yrs and it is a truly unique and amazing amp. Also, extremely good with the Caldera. And then I have an Icon Audio HP8 MK2 Signature with the Mundorf Caps.
Probably off topic but I wonder how different is u6t to the u12t. The u6t is supposedly tuned with u12t in mind. But I find the u6t to have a much different tonality compared to the caldera, at least with the m15 filter.
Yes it is one of his last builds. It is about half the size with the PSU outside but still the nuked out version with everything a CFA3 is and should be.
That PSU looks amazing.
I like the PSU too. I actually really love the face of the CFA. I tend to get stuff all one color, but love the color and like the way it looks quite a lot.
Sibce I got mine a week ago been testing it. A real a contrast to my tube amp (Nirvana). On the whole, I think I'll continue to prefer tthe Nirvana, but I'm finding some specific areas where each does better. I think the CFA3 has the upperhand in complex/very layer music - such as classical orchestra or big band jazz music - where its slightly leaner/clearner edge provides a touch of air, clarity, and opennes; while the Nirvana has notably better textured bass and that delicious tonality and holographic feel of a great tube amp that I'm in love with. If I listen to either on its own I don't miss antyhing, until I compare to the other, then these distinctions in voicing become very clear .
