My Rekkr wasn't unlocking the full potential of the Klipsch RP600-M speakers I had recently obtained. Now they sing. I highly recommend that amp in that price range.

Hey Randy, would love to see you review something from Buckeye Amps. They are value-priced, performance-priority (as opposed to aesthetics or features) made-in-Canada amps based on Hypex and Purifi Class D modules. The cheapest one is a 250W/channel stereo Hypex for $575. Measurements are off the charts. But how does it sound? You could answer that for us….

I would separate my amp from my preamp. - I have the Emotive BASX-A2 which sounds incredible with my Linn Espek floor standing speakers. It is easily filling a 500 square foot space. They can be had for $500. For a preamp, I am running an older Music Hall integrated amp with a pre out function . However, if I had to buy a new preamp I would want to keep things as simple as possible -- the Schiit SYS Passive Preamp Volume Control and 2-Input Switch -- at $75 -- will work with just about any line source (except for a turntable) and pick up minimal distortion to feed that excellent Emotiva amp.

I watched a video yesterday touting an "affordable amp" that was north of $3k. At this my point in life buying that amp wouldn't noticeably hurt my bank book but what the heck? Why describe a >$3000 component as "affordable"? Being somewhat new to watching hi-fi KZbin channels, I'm left with the impression that channel owners either focus on under $1k stuff or over $3k stuff with very few reviews of in-between stuff. A big question for me is: at what point in price does additional cost start seeing diminishing returns on sound, build, aesthetics, and durability?
@cheapaudioman
@cheapaudioman 5 ай бұрын
lol... almost immediately. not all 1k amps are the same. some companies mark up their stuff 3x over cost and some 12x over cost. with the new class d stuff it's getting harder and harder to justify 1k plus stuff if you're just in it for the sound... most people aren't just in it for the sound though. if we really peel back the onion we all like things for different reasons. it's a long way to say that I bet I could set up a system for under $500 and play it next to a 5k one and blind test folks and I doubt they'd be able to pick out the more expensive ones. these ultra affordable class d's are great but if you have a decent budget I'd get something from Cambridge, Yamaha, or Emotiva. Denon etc. are there differences? sure. but they're minimal

I recently bought the WiiM amp and a chifi hybrid. Douk gizmo to AB then. Different for sure, but with tone controls/EQ, still too many variable to decide on a keeper. Anyway, decided to watch a movie through the WiiM. I couldn’t get the audio to synch with the video. Even after fiddling with the TVs settings. Just fyi for those aspiring for a soundbar replacement. My WiiM amp, connected to my tv, no bueno. YMMV, but if this feature is important to you (2.1 home the-at-er) make sure you try that out early. This is through hdmi connect. Didn’t try rca.

Missing from Yamaha: The R-S202 can be had (refurbished) for $129 for solid, inexpensive two-channel listening. The R-N303 is just $249. Both are 2x100, have phono pre-amp, etc. The 202 has bluetooth, the 303 has WiFi and MusiCast. The Yamahas have (in my experience, which isn't saying much) much better quality than the comparable Sonys.

What I would like to see from Fozi are these amps mounted in a chassis with an integrated power supply(s). The long dc power cable into the amp raises the impedance and limits bass dynamics. Maybe it sounds good with the giant external power brick, but it could sound better with a good power supply, closely coupled to the amplifier stage.

This was a really good review! Proof that you don't have to put yourself in the poorhouse spending mega bucks on a overpriced system that only gives marginal returns. I liked this and frankly I do have a tough time choosing from this list (save for the Emotiva $600 amp as that is already too high for me). The Loxji unit looks pretty good as a nice all in one system for my computer setup. I saw the review on that and like it. But I do like the idea of going with small separates that are based around the Fosi ZA3.

@@mrcarpentersc I just used the ge 6922 , the ones in the front. They were only $18 but made a big difference . It got much louder and way more bass . So I found replacements for the rest and I am going to try them when I get some money. Right now I am saving up for a truck. I noticed that the nobsound is almost identical but the tubes in the back are different and maybe that's why it gets a little more power. So I am going upgrade those next with tubes that cost around $80 and the ones I already replaced with golden lions. I couldn't believe the difference even the ge tubes made.

Do you know anything about Sonance amps? I have a Denon AVR X4700H and need some extra power for some speakers. I can get a Sonance DSP 8-130 MK II for $1,800 open box excellent. I know nothing about their amps and was curious.

So my latest ADHD all consuming hobby has been getting into hi-fi. Per your recommendations @cheapaudioman I invested in the elac unifi 2.0 speakers, paired with the Rotel A10MK2 amp, and the fluance RT85 turntable. So tasty 🤤. All of these components were bought as “scratch and dent” which basically means the box had a dent in it, and it saved me a crap ton of money.

Ok what good is a subwoofer output with out a subwoofer amp with true adjustable low pass well bellow 300hz like in the 20hz to 100hz range? I do not want to spend $500 for a subwoofer amp when all I really need is for Fosi Audio to get off their ass and build an exhisting product with the added true low pass adjustable feature I need.

Not sure how the Fosi V3 was such a “game changer” so recently, but now doesn’t make a list of recommended cheap amps? Not even a mention?

@cheapaudioman 5 ай бұрын
well Fosi already got 2 slots on here and I like the ZA3 over the V3. V3 is still awesome but having a list of 10 amps with 3 being from Fosi isn't all that interesting.

@@cheapaudioman I figured you wouldn’t want to give too many spots to one company, just surprised to see the TB10D instead, that’s all. I’m new to your channel, but I don’t think you even mentioned the TB10D in your V3 review?

You lost me at the OpAmp switching voodoo nonsense. Also, rattling down spec sheets isn't very useful. So it has a headphone output? Ok.... but it is any good?? Can it replace my headphone amp, so I have less clutter on my desk? Would have been nice to know.
