New these Burson Supercharger units were never cheap, so £156 is not a bargain-basement ask, but against the recent used set it sits above the £107 median and well above the £117 75th percentile, so this is an ambitious price for the market. It would need to be in clearly excellent condition, ideally with proof of careful use and any original packaging, to feel fully justified.
That said, it’s a well-regarded outboard supply and the appeal is simple: quieter power, a bit more grip and composure, and an easy upgrade for Burson gear owners. If the listing is clean and complete, it remains a worthwhile buy for someone who specifically wants the matching supply rather than a generic upgrade path; if not, there’s room to wait for a stronger-value example.

3A is a French loudspeaker brand with roots going back to the 1960s, when founder Daniel Dehay established the company under the name 3A, short for “Applied Acoustic Art.” The “Reference” name came later, and the brand is now associated with Reference 3A, reflecting its long, specialist lineage in two-channel audio rather than a broad consumer electronics history.
The company is known primarily for loudspeakers, especially compact and floorstanding hi-fi designs such as the MM de Capo and Taksim. Its catalogue has focused on carefully voiced passive speakers rather than electronics categories like amplifiers, DACs, turntables, or headphones. The emphasis is on high-sensitivity, easy-to-drive speakers built for musical coherence and low-power amplification.
In the market, 3A sits in the niche audiophile and specialist high-end segment rather than the mass market. Its reputation is strongest among experienced hi-fi buyers who value French heritage, distinctive engineering, and a refined, natural presentation. It is not a broad lifestyle brand; it is better understood as a long-running boutique loudspeaker maker with a collector-friendly backstory and a loyal following.
