Fosi V3 Mono Break-In


Been playing these amps since yesterday and am quite impressed, but not surprised as they replaced a V3 Integrated...curious about break-in as experienced by owners of these..I use a separate 48/5 power supply for each amp...a friend is putting the Sparkos op amps in his soon...

Stories of premature failure and reliability on the web. Not to mention the very low current output. That I see the word "Topping" mentioned is all I need to know. Maybe it’s just high-end for the mid-fiers

No, I won’t be trying them out to replace my Pass amp. Or risk blowing my speakers..

Being a snobbish audiophile is cool, if that’s your thing.

I’ve got the Fosi currently driving a pair of Magnepan 1.7i with absolutely zero issues.  

Having a pair of what amounts to about sub $600 power amp (op amps/power bricks) that makes me consider selling my other amps is absolutely crazy.  But I think it really shows that one doesn’t need to throw a crap-ton of money at this hobby to get great sound nowadays.

Unless, of course, you want to throw a crap-ton of money at it for bragging rights.

More money better sound is a thing. Correct. But you need the ears and the means. Some got it some don’t. Nothing snobby about that. Whatever makes you happy.

I am thinking about trying these. So cheap.

i have a stereo Fosi amp and it sounds great.

if i got a pair of these and used my Cary SLP98 as a preamp would I have any trouble? I sure don’t want to fry my speakers or preamp over 300.00 clads D amp but I am certainly intrigued. Any help would be appreciated.
