The most interesting thing is that the lamp legs are not connected by paths to the rest of the circuit))

Are you sure that cable is proprietary? It looks like an XLR DMX 5 pin speaker cable.

I got one a week ago. I liked it so much I bought another for mono blocks. I listen about 8 feet away with the speakers (Kef Q150) also spaced 8 feet apart. The preamp is an old Pioneer SC 3000. I am not missing any bass at all. The bass is perfectly fine. I think people that wanted to buy them but were afraid the low end wouldn't be good enough are missing out. Schiit is no longer making this amp. Now it will probably go up in value, lol.

Thanks for the video . AO200mk2 or HA1? What do you recommend?

Por favor, me responde aí. Tenho um r1380db e uma S1000MKII. Consigo ligar a R1380db na S1000MKII para sair o som em ambas? Já fiz isso usando o RCA, a S1000MKII reconhece, mas não sai o som na r1380DB. É possível ligar elas via cabo coaxial? Eu uso a s1000mkii na tv por meio de cabo óptico e queria muito aproveitar as r1380db nelas também....como faço? Por favor alguém me responde por favor 😮

How do these connect to each other ?

Is fosi v3 has enough power to run 100w x 2 passive 8ohms speakers?

What are the pair of op'-amps doing? You'd think.theybperformed the function that the tube/valves are supposed to be doing.

Hello! Now I have a big trouble 🙈 I bought recently a Douk X1, as a phono preamp. My setup is: a ProJect turntable, a Denon AVR-X1500H receiver, a ProJect phono amp, 2 passive speakers. I wanted to replace the Project preamp with the Douk X1, it has the Phono Input, but it doesn't have an audio RCA output 😞 So ...I could use it without the Denon receiver, which is unacceptable for me, because with the receiver I am using the TV audio too, with the same passive speakers. So...the Douk X1 has 2 audio inlets. Do you have any idea, how could I use this, as a classic phono preamp, with my setup? (I don't want to use the speaker out ports from the Douk X1. Thank you so much! 🙂👍🏻

is it better than Aiyima T1 PRO?

Are they Wi-Fi ?

I wonder how they can bulit this that small. Where is the transformer?

Can something like this add tube warmth to my Marantz 1030 vintage amp?

I got them maybe 2015. But after going swimming with them around my neck... for like an hour, in a murky brown rice paddy... they still work. I did lose an ear cushion though. Top quality.

Hi! Could I use Fosi P3 as a Phono Preamp for my vinyl turntable?

Can you add a subwoofer?

Douk ST-01 Pro TUBE tip: If your amp came with Chinese 6k4 tubes (has a red star printed on the glass), mine caused distortion. I upgraded to much better sound for $17 with GE JAN 5654W matched pair tubes. 6k4 tubes can be replaced by 6J1, 6J2, 6J3, 6J4, 6J5, 6"1N, 64N, 65N, 5654/5654W, 5725, 6AK5, EF95, 6BA6, 403B, etc. Your tubes may be ok. Just an FYI free tip.

So you reach around the back. There is volume control on the back,; along with treble, bass...

I have replaced it with the Fosi P3. Basically I think they are head to head even though they are different tubes 6k4 vs GE.

Seems like you made a shot in the dark guess , Yes, Lamb Skin is Leather

I have douk audio u3 class a headphone amp. Similar look to yours, without the tubes. It sounds great. Decent staging and dynamics. plenty of power. I have a couple mini tube preamps (6k4 and ge5654 ) if i want to get some valve coloration. Love the mini stack

why no ground...

The 2 internal OP Amps can be upgraded to High Performance HiFi LM4562NA OP amps that will improve sound & reliability. They just plug into the existing sockets on the board. The 6K4 tubes are Chinese Military spec tubes that are reliable & used as buffers.

Form follows function

Nice!

I love a good tear-down. Thanks for the review.

Years ago, a good friend of mine and I were listening to some vinyl albums through one of those classic cabinet stereos from the 1970s. I don't know what all we did but at one point we were listening to what we both, unoriginally, called a 'wall of sound'. Clear, punchy bass, excellent midrange and better than ddeent high end tones. We were probably 24/25 years old at the time. I'm 69 now and to be honest, in my own home I've been seeking that clear 'wall of sound' effect. I've had Sony Surround sound, I've had huge 12" bass woofer floor speakers, I've had a Denon 7.1 amp. No joy. I ordered this unit because I'm getting back into my vinyl and i don't need a 7.1 amp to play stereo albums. I also bought a pair of Klipsch RP 500M II and the Klipsch 10" subwoofer. I've got the speakers at one end of an 20' X 12' room. Ohhhhh my. Using this little amp I'm getting better sound than out of the Denon. I have found the 'wall of sound' I have been searching for. Pop, rock, classic, country, soundtracks.... ohhhh my! It all sounds so excellent. This is a great amp if you've got the right speakers.

how are the bass response on these? thanks for getting back to me

Just got these on sale from Amazon for $315

100% agree. i have spend more than 300 times the price of these on my hifi journey and the progress isnt anywhere near the price difference at all

Listening to this on my pair - got them 2013 I think - still going strong. 👍

I just bought one and the Bluetooth range is terrible - about 5 feet. Beyond 5 feet it drops in and out.

Can it receive wireless lossless ?

When you read this... dont buy the aiyima a07 max, this ao8 pro sounds waaaaaaaayyyyy better.

I have 4 of then for my Atmos 7.1 system and have 2 S801. I don't use the S801s. I use ceiling speakers for Atmos. Also just bought the 12 subwoofer and have the center channel. My whole setup is Jamo and works great in a 12x16 basement. They sound real good to me for the price.

the look is pure personal of course!

Fosi Audio's dirty little secret. Loaded with cheap and fake components. I have brought one previously. Not really very impressive sounding, and after I looked inside I found out why. The NE5532 Op Amp chips are fake. Most likely a $.10 chip that is marked as a NE5532. Along with counterfeit Elna audio caps. The other electrolytic caps are a known bad Chinese brand (no good) but are dirt cheap. The hum is likely from these terrible caps in the power supply section. If you ever test the Chinese fake Op Amp chips, you find they have a poor slew rate and a not so good response. Fortunately, they put sockets in for these, and it is super easy to replace the fake chips with real ones. Replacing the caps is not so easy or cheap but can be done. That is why it is so cheap. You have to remember that Amazon gets about 35%-45% of the cost of the item they sell, so it is really a $25 preamp. You can't build a quality unit, ship to America or wherever, and sell it on Amazon for $40. It is basically a nice aluminum shell with crap inside, made to have a look of quality.

The snake oil was so deep in this room I need waders.

Aw shoot! They look comfy.

Thanks for stopping by our room.

In the Schiit website, they suggested to combine the Rekkr with Magni or Vali to get more power, but I still don't see any review trying to do that.

I was in this room. I thought it was the worst sound at the show.

Well, here is my 2 cents. I have had aiyima t9, fosi v3 (for a brief moment), aiyima a08 and smsl vmv a1. I think t9 and v3 are in the same tier although v3 is more powerful. I think t9 had a more enjoyable sound due to distortion tubes were creating. I also tube rolled and sound signature changed for something else. Aiyima a08 was better and more powerful than the 2 forementioned amps in every aspect but with an aftermarket power cable. The cable that it comes with was crap. And smsl vmv a1, if a08 was a tier above the v3 than a1 is 3 tiers above the a08. I have to admit that vmv a1 is low powerwise but comes with a quality power cable and it sounds good enough for a nitpicking audiophile that I am. All my experimentation I never used the onboard dacs and bluetooth since I was testing forntheir limits. My main amp is yamaha 2100 btw. which I would consider another 3 tiers up on top of vmv a1. I was still curious what I would get if I would get 2 za3s, but I think I won't bother, I wouldn't think I would be happy with the sound quality.

SMSL SA400 and VMV A2 has this long time user of big heavy AB amps impressed to say the least.

I think they have to use a wire like that because the amp is sending power to both the tweeter and mid base separately and this way you only have the one cable instead of multiple... I'm saving up to get me 4 of these for my shop.

I also felt lukewarm about this one, too. I wanted to upgrade from my da9....just because? You know how it goes. Anyway, it was just way too bright for me. I totally relate to endlessly playing around with the tone controls to make it sound "normal", and it changed depending on what I was listening to. Yes on some recordings it was nicely "sparkly" in the high end, but it just as easily tended towards shrill. I found myself feeling angry after a short time of listening to it - just agitated - maybe that is my reaction to listening fatigue :D Not for me. I'll stick to the da9 for now.

I have these speakers, and i love them, best moneys spent in 2023

I chose this simply because it has AptX-HD from a Qualcom chip. Buying a separate bluetooth dac with the same quality is almost the same cost as the amp without powersuply. And I like the VU meter. Gives it sort of an analoge look.

Hi! Can you tell me if he has an indicator on the display in standby mode?

I have the S2000MkIII's in my office and they may be my single happiest purchase ever. I went to the computer store intending to buy the s3000's but I thought they sounded much less cohesive. (I live in Cambodia where one buys something like this in a store.) After some deliberation I decided to try these, really just for something to burn some time before I had to walk out empty handed. And my goodness, what a surprise. They completely demolish my "main" system in the living room (at about a third of the money), and are especially good if I keep them scrupulously to their intended use case. They can do Michael Bay but that's not what they're built for and using them that way deprives a person of just how incredibly good they really are: Instead play them at 80db on a triangle with about 4 feet on each side, and about 3 feet into the room. The imaging is *astonishing*. I brought a friend into the office to sit in my chair and I told her that the speakers weren't running, and she should point to where the sound was coming from. We were listening to Que Pasa by Horace Silver. After a long, puzzled moment, she said, "Well the trumpet is coming from here (and pointed at a corner of my laptop screen), but the piano is coming from over here (pointing to another spot) and the sound of the drums is coming from here (pointing to a third place behind the system)." Then she looked at me a little longer and finally said, "How the hell are you doing that?"
