| How do you pick your gear? Tips and insights are welcome. Online reviews; owner reviews; video reviews; decide, then purchase (almost always) used. I think listening to the equipment first doesn't really work well as there are very few hi-end brick and mortar stores, and even if there is one near you th... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Much like I wouildn't tell the parent of a newborn how butt-ugly their child is I wouldn't tell a friend how awful his system sounds. Sound is subjective so your "not very good" is someone else's "great". | |
| Using paypal for local pickup I’ve done plenty of local sales (mainly purchases) with PP F&F. Never an issue. | |
| PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common? One thing I hadn't thought of before: Someone paying via paypal and in a few weeks damaging a product, then claiming item as broken to paypal. This was reason I was given by a seller when I paid via PP (not F&F) and seller refunded my money a... | |
| Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies I picked up a pair of GaN power bricks (48volt/5amp versions), as I read somewhere that GaNs improved the sound of the amps. When I initially swapped them out, I was surprised to learn that the volume on the preamp had to be at the same level to ... | |
| Fosi V3 Mono Break-In 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 ... | |
| ??? How Much Would You Spend ??? I bought a house for 1.2 million. What should be the cost of the car in the driveway? | |
| Fosi V3 Mono Break-In I’m using the Topping Pre90, and am liking the sound quite a bit. The Fosi, IMO, is a very clean, lean and agile pair of amps. They are not warm or euphoric in the least. I feel the same way about the Topping, clean and lean. Combining the two... | |
| Fosi V3 Mono Break-In Not sure if they break in much, as I didn’t play my pair too long before swapping out the op amps to the Sparkos (two each in the XLR input). I did notice an improvement when the op amps were replaced. Funny, but I mentioned somewhere that the F... | |
| Do power bricks break in? I’m sorry. I didn’t make this part clear: I’ve had the Fosi amps for a few months so the original power bricks are a few months old and the new, GaN ones only have a few hours on them, if that. | |
| Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies My monos are now driving a pair of Totem Tribe Towers. To my ears, they sound fantastic with plenty of detail, separation, and bass. I'll throw in some Pass or VTL gear once it's a bit cooler to do a direct comparison, but for me, the idea that ... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS lalitk, Thanks for your suggestion. I'd never heard that song before. Very nice! | |
| Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies I've never heard of Morrison speakers. They look pretty cool. Are they a three-way with an amp for each speakers? | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! Immathewj, I feel they are heavy! I have the 805B with an upgraded auto-bias option which I’ve not been able to find any info about anywhere. To the best of my recollection, as I’ve not had them in my system for a while, they offer a very robu... | |
| Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies jl35, I've got two 32v/5 amp power supplies. So about 55 watts at 8 ohms and about 120 at 4. mapman, isn't it kind of crazy the sound quality/price ratio of the Fosi gear? |
