Hey!
Only Option To Listen KZbin Sound Demo is with good headphones, not your favorite sound system because listening to two rooms at once is not a good thing, no matter how good your sound system is.,
Closest to listen my sound sample is with
Sony MDR-7506 amzn.to/2wAkk54 or
MDR-CD900St amzn.to/3p4PHNM
If you use these links above to purchase any items from Amazon or eBay (No Extra Cost To You), I get a small percentage which helps support my work and helps me keep going.

If you want to get the most out of them you can get a 48v 10a (instead of 5a) for each of them. I think the limitation is in the power supply capacitance. You will be driving them even hotter though.

[@veristaconvicto9881]

I did several tests with amplifiers with TPA3255. My intention is to use my tubes in the cold months and use digital amplification in the warm months. In addition to being environmentally friendly, you also save on your electricity bill. The best I achieved with digital was using a tube preamp and very well built power supplies (this is essential). In this way, an extremely natural sound is achieved, which only loses a little to the valves. I did a blind test with some friends and most of them couldn't identify whether it was the digital amplifier or the one with tubes playing.

[@KeithHeinrich]

At all the naysayers whose bias is showing, these perform very well and sound great. Disruptive because of the price point and viral marketing and direct shipping which may be uncomfortable for traditionalists. I’ve replaced nCore amplification with a pair of these and they sound just fine. Levinsons new company Daniel Hertz is using nCore amplification in their new amps selling at mega bucks. For the modest price the V3 mono is surely a great audio bargain despite lacking the cachet of other brands.

[@jonathanr2830]

Good stuff! Thank you!

[@mikecees2230]

A lot of people dissing these Fosi amps. It's easy to speculate but from personal experience I think the ZA3 is not only good for the money but can definitely compete with much more expensive established brands/models. I'd be curious to hear how the V3 monos ACTUALLY sound against the Schiit Aegir monoblocs or other integrated amps in the $2000-3000 range. There's another KZbinr who felt the ZA3 wasn't shamed against a $5000 Naim Supernait 3 in an A/B sound demo. Opinions are all over the place on these.

[@KeithHeinrich]

Good review thank you. Can you explain some more the difference you experience with XLR vs RCA.

[@bunjidogg]

I bought a pair of these with two 5 amp power supplies thru the kickstarter thing. I already was using pair of Aiyima A07 Max amps with two 5 amp 48v power supplies run in mono. I can tell no difference in sound quality between them. Like identical sounding. Although with the Aiyimas set at max volume, it takes less pre-amp volume to get same loudness. Have to turm up the pre-amp a little more with the Fosi. Fosi audio V3 mono's will hit ebay soon.

[@StrangeBrewReviews]

these little amps have better noise to signal ratio on the 36v supply, you might like the sound better but with a little less power....but these are fun toy amps for a budget setup, they are no giant killers.

[@lechnerjoe]

the v3 mono drive my css criton 1td-x perfect. i have never the feeling that they would need more power. but i have them in a small room. they sound cleaner and as "big" as my 2 smsl a300 in btl mode (with 218 watt at 8 ohm [measured from audio science review..]).

[@johnkom2339]

Interesting. Some good lower cost stuff coming in to the market now. Of course from China. I wonder (seriously) if the president changes in November will there be a heavy tariff on these goods.

[@lalengkima7196]

❤

[@riccitone]

Very straightforward review, and thank you for your honest approach in terms of trying these with harder to drive speakers! So you can connect both of these as left and right as stereo to a single active sub? Could you explain the cabling more specifically? I have a rel sub and am worried about shorting it out 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Tharbamar]

Please see this video, No Subwoofer Out? Do This! kzbin.infoCk1aGzObx_k?feature=share

[@riccitone]

@@Tharbamar Looks promising, but I think rel says no to connecting only one of their subs to two monos via speakon. Might be a workaround, but not sure. Might need a second sub 😬

[@danielbrrio]

All good? Doesn't this amount of carpet attenuate your midrange a bit?

[@erikjohansson1488]

Vs denon pma- 600ne?

[@gasolin75]

Is that stevie wonder ?

[@Msdramichan1]

If possible, I would like to see a comparison of sound quality using two Fosi Audio ZA3s in mono with balanced connections.

[@a4rontran]

I have both za3 amd v3 mono. Based on my experience, the v3 have wider sound stage and tube like airy sound signature. So I prefer v3 over the za3; however, the v3 has brighter sounding for sure.

[@gregorywhite3511]

Would this sound better than denon PMA-600NE

[@Tharbamar]

V3 will have slightly better bass output in average listening levels, thanks

[@yttean98]

you use 2 power supplies or just one? I suggest 2 is appropriate.

[@yttean98]

This is not meant as as insult. I mention it cos I did not hear it mention in your review.

[@BoRerunn]

Any songs with bass

[@adamnocon9432]

Try Argentinian group Dread Mar I - song "My Lord" from the album Amor-es released in 2008

[@ThePupil]

The actual measured numbers are way lower.

[@ChicagoRob2]

Less than half

[@clan_biblioteke]

When are you going to do a review of the SMSL H400, the new headphone amp and preamplifier? Thanks

[@tylerhackman6832]

If you chase the cheap class D route you’ll end up with a closet full of them and less money in your wallet vs just spending a grand or so on a nice amp to begin with.

[@StrangeBrewReviews]

exactly , spend $420 on a niles SI-1200 and you'll be fine for long time or $1000 on a schiit or CLA200 ....these are junk toy amps only really good for a garage or surround sound duty on a make shift setup..I have a couple I use them for surround sound currently but wish I never even got them. they will be junked soon or maybe I'll donate them to a work radio.

[@ChicagoRob2]

@@StrangeBrewReviews 100% agree

[@ChicagoRob2]

Save up and get a Sugden A21 SE, Musical Fidelity A1, or Schiit Aegir. If you can live with modest listening levels, either amp will take you to audio nirvana. There are also A1 Chinese clones that sound absolutely amazing for the money.

[@StrangeBrewReviews]

@ChicagoRob2 way too many good amps for not much more....heck the Yamaha as301. Or the onkyo 9110...pioneer ae10 are all $200-$350...dayton audio has some decent amps now...even a big boy 400 for cheap.

[@ChicagoRob2]

@@StrangeBrewReviews I have had a Yamaha A-S301 for seven years. It’s a great integrated. Excellent sound and lots of features for the money. For a raw, pure Class A amplifier, a $300 Musical Fidelity A1 clone is unbeatable. I did a volume control delete mod on mine, so it’s strictly a power amp. I run it with a Sonic Frontiers tube preamp. It’s end-game for me.

[@Carl-yx1ww]

Waste of time mate

[@benjiebautista3960]

Have you listened to them?

[@Carl-yx1ww]

Cheap rubbish

[@Hirnlego999]

More power than most will ever need. And their speakers are worse

[@benjiebautista3960]

Have you listened to them?

[@10sassafras]

@@benjiebautista3960The obvious question! I wonder about anti Chinese attitudes in hifi. What would the reception be if these came from Denmark for example?
