[@gertjanvanderkooij9242]

sounds already good without the sparkos,with the sparkos is really amazing.A great update.The background is darker and more quit,and more layers are added!!!

[@jazzboy]

@@gertjanvanderkooij9242 many thanks! I agree, I truly found the result to be smoother and very solid in the low frequencies.

SOUNDS GOOD

[@jazzboy]

Many thanks, much appreciated!😊

Should be back to back comparisons. Hard to hear the difference when the first song doesn’t come around again until ten minutes later.

[@jazzboy]

@AngryManSki try it with chapters, can at least hope version to version or even better, download the raw files and use even the most basic daw to do immediate a/b comparisons. The files are at 24/192 so you get the added bonus of no compression. Reckon one of those should work.

[@Later2u]

I opened up two browsers. Started both near the same and just muted back and forth. I didn't hear any difference, but KZbin compresses audio. I think reviewer own words are more accurate than the music.

[@jazzboy]

@Later2u did you download the raw uncompressed files? That will most revealing on your system.

[@Later2u]

@@jazzboy I just downloaded the Steely Dan ones. I listen to them on my computer using headphones. I didn't hear any discernable difference. Not discounting that what you've provided isn't true. Believe me, I want it to be true because I'm looking to upgrade mine and it's deep rabbit hole with these things. What I'm going to do, cheaply, is I've bought these "similar" OP AMPs and I will try them out with my ears and system and see if there is a notable difference in doing that. And that is the problems with these, I think the individual needs to try it for themselves. But that cost money, not a huge amount but who wants to reinvent the wheel, which is why we are here on the internet. The one's I'm going to try are AKLIAM 1 Piece LC5 LC6 Low Noise Low Distortion Class A Discrete Op Amp Upgrade. If you copy and paste that in a search browser, there is also a KZbin video giving a run down on them below the link to where you can purchase them. Thanks for the Video.

Andy would you recommend fozi audio amp for studio monitors for mixing, i got some tannoys 6.5 passive but really dont want to hook up the bulky amp .

[@jazzboy]

Absolutely. Have used Tannoys in the past and I really like them. Probably a V3 stereo withe 48v 5a supply would be grand and less space. A couple monos would be killer but not totally necessary.

[@robertmilo7445]

How about the za3 like the xlr feature

[@jazzboy]

​@robertmilo7445 great choice if you are running balanced.

[@sqcaraudio]

Hiw many fosi v3 monos are you usung here?

[@jazzboy]

One V3 stereo for the highs and two monos for the lows. 48v 5a power supply for the highs and two 48v 10a power supplies for the lows

[@Oiljeep]

@@jazzboy I bet that system got some nice Kick in the Bass. What speaker are you useing Jazzboy

[@sqcaraudio]

@jazzboy This is a must if you like more revealing depth and focus, try switching the power supply from a 5amp to a 10am. In your case get the 10amp onto the highs, the v3 should behave and the monos won't car either. Worth a shot.

[@jazzboy]

@@sqcaraudio will be trying some combos for sure.

[@jazzboy]

@@Oiljeep Celestion 12" Seventy80 guitar speaker and a Kicker DSC40 4" car speaker.

[@chrisharford2610]

Which one did you choose?

[@jazzboy]

Sparkos for me.

[@chrisharford2610]

@@jazzboy what model sparkos?

[@chrisharford2610]

@@jazzboy thank you

[@hiviman]

what speakers are those ? I to noticed a improvement using the Sparkos Op Amps, i use 2 aiyima a07's set up as mono blocks they sound fantastic with the hivi swan m 1's. Good video u can clearly hear the sound being unveiled , it opened right up with more detail an soundstage , was it a dramatic difference in person ?

[@jazzboy]

@hiviman thanks, appreciated. The speakers are something I put together, an active zero baffle design. The difference live actually was very similar to the recording and very pleasant indeed! Super happy with the Sparkos op amps. I have also a link in the description for the 24/192 files if you want to check them out.
