I bought one yesterday, I used to have a beautiful audio setup but I sold it to get my business started so I copped some cheap but decent Cambridge Audio speakers and I had a £40 Fosi amp just so I could listen to music I got bored one night and wanted to look for a different amp just to change up my desk, I went onto Amazon, saw the T3 and then I went onto TH-cam to find this video which put me off, but I looked at the comments and I bought it out of impulse because I really wanted to see why the video said it was bad but the comments are strongly defending it And I must admit, I completely side with the comments, for the price it's a shockingly good amp and the soundstage is remarkable for it's price point, I feel like the T3 that was reviewed was faulty My only complaint is that the treble and bass knobs don't really do much before the 15% mark, but that's nit-picking
Gosh, I must be the odd guy out. I purchased the Fosi T3 6 months ago, and I've been absolutely happy with the results this budget tube amp has given me. - however, in my case, I have it on a desktop, near-field scenario. I have the T3 pushing both the KEF Q150 and Q350 speakers, and they seemingly shine. So I guess the old adage, "your mileage may vary" holds true here. I feed the T3 amp using the iFi ZenDac II DAC and the Schiit Modi 3+ DAC with the Schiit Vali 2+ head amp. I'm also using an upgraded Audioquest AC power cord plugged into the T3. I upgraded the tubes with two PNJAN 6U8A tubes, which turned out to be a noticeable improvement over the stock tubes. So this review - although very honest (and appreciated) - kind of stuns me because I've been touting the wonderful audio qualities of the T3. Oh well....I'm glad that I didn't have to pay much for this budget amp. As an aside, I too was very surprised at how light this amp felt and questioned Fosi's statement that it was an class AB amp on the rear end. This is very good info about the actual power output - but then I'm not really surprised as most of the Chinese manufacturers tout ridiculously high power outputs on most (or all) of their amplifiers.
@@samv6767 The one I like particularly in my system (and remember, each tube type - except for one out there) has compatible other tube versions. The tube version I like that sounds good in my system (with the gear I have) is: 6K4P
I got this amp as well and for near-field listening, using the Totem Kin monitor speakers, I found the performance to be quite good. Playing some particularly demanding recordings, this amp did a good job. The similarly designed, though better finished, Dayton Audio HTA20BT is my real workhouse for near-field listening. Quite muscular at a modest price, it does offer and punch above its grade.
Hey Bear, I'm glad you've had a positive experience with this unit and the Dayton. I encourage you to test an amp that is, in fact, above its weight and see the results. You may be quite surprised.
THANK YOU for telling the TRUTH. hopefully FOSI watches the video and fixes this item. saved me from wasting my money. I did buy a fosi non tube amp which I am happy with.
Weird. I listened to mine for hours and hours each day and it's really nice, exceeding my expectations. Are you sure you never received a faulty unit? I find your proper test results surprising,
I'm confused. Could yours be a faulty unit? My setup is Schiit Modi e3+Loki mini+fosi t3 driving Jamo C93ii speakers and to my ears sound is very good. Great detail and sound stage with plenty of bass. No overheating or funny smell. I'm not an audiophile, but for the first time i can hear which song was produced bad or good. Thank you for the review but it kind of ruined the enjoyment a had with my setup.
With the amount of noise and distortion coming from that unit, I can safely say there is no way you can hear which song was produced how. If you are serious about HiFi and wanting to truly hear how well or not well a song is produced I would invest in something more serious, engineered by a true artisan. You can find pieces like these on the used market for reasonable prices and put together a really nice system.
@@audioarkitekts I have a Rotel/Gallo Acoustics HT, and a separate PS Audio/Rotel/Thorens/Rodgers hi-fi. The Fosi/Q Acoustics system I mentioned I bought for my teenage son for Christmas.
I have this amp and like it quite a bit. Needs some burn-in of about 10 hours before it sounds really good. I don't measure equipment, so perhaps it doesn't match the published specs. But that doesn't change how I think it sounds, which is rich and pretty holographic for such a small cheap amp. I find it a good compliment to the more analytical sounding SMSL DA-9.
I just got one of those and after 8 months, maybe they listened to you... I got it for my RV trailer but currently testing it in my garage. I have it hooked up to a pair of small 2 ways (Klipsch). Did not experience over heating and over volume. Quite the opposite. It ran cool after running it for the first hour at half volume and then easing it up to full for the next 2 hours! No distortion at full. I was wishing it had a little more volume actually, but then I was not listening at near field. I was out in the driveway working on my car with the garage door open lol. Thanks for the review. I probably would not have bought it if I had this before I got it. Might be good to re-review it with what ever changes they did? Cheers.
"Cheap" and "Good" rarely go together in the same sentence, at least when it comes to HiFi gear. However, "Cheap" and "Junk" go together like cookies and milk. I wouldn't be surprised if the tubes in this unit don't actually do anything but glow. A nice test would be to pull the tubes and see if the unit even works. I bet it does.
cheap and good cannot be as far as cheap means low price purpose rather than fair price for parts who really make the difference. i usually select high prices at cheap brands expecting a fair price for what i really will get out of it. mistake seems to be cheap for low price and expensive for higher quality when it's only about prestige?
I pulled the tubes and it did not work. However when we tested the amount of juice going to the tubes they aren't anywhere near their linear state. Its a small fraction of the power that these tubes are meant to receive.
Really appreciate your honest opinion and review. It really helps everyone understand your experience with a product as delivered to you. Thanks again, very well done.
I appreciate reviews like this because they help the community. You just saved some people what could have been a significant amount of money to them. $150 for an amp when I was college age would've been an investment that I expected hundreds of hours of enjoyment from as my return. It also would've meant that I was back to eating ramen for a while because I would've avoided the lower price points after that kind of experience. I do hope the TB10D is a different story though. Fosi Audio has put out a few bangers in its time, and I'd like to see that continue.
I was in the same spot in my 20s. Thank you for the support. I do hope the Fosi fixes this issue because I agree they have made some products that have been well received.
I bought a Fosi P1 tube preamp and I'm using it in a tape monitor loop. I can't hear any difference or any "tube sound" and I'm able to switch it instantly. I turned the bass control up and now switch it in on the rare occasion that I use headphones. My son bought me a Sabaj A10h headphone for Christmas and I'm using it as a remote volume control for a beautiful Marantz 2220b that my other son gave me a few Christmas's ago. The Sabaj is awesome but the Engrish in the manual is horrible. LOL
I have a Fosi P3 and love it. This review of the Fosi T3 was very disappointing to say the least as it perfectly fits my needs. Judging by the comments, there are some people who like the T3. So I may just have to get one to find out for myself.
I buy Fosi T3 incredible cheap for the price . Good for headphones and bookshelf speaker. I have another amplifier almost 10 times expensive and only lost in power and low noise, but about soundstage, vocal so far so good best for vocal song.
I couldn't disagree more! I have one driving triangle zephyrs and another one driving elacs debut 52. Both amps doing great (not for the price great, just great) Any chance the one u measured is buggard ?
Oh well, I just bought Aiyima T9 for comparing it to Fosi. I guess Fosi is really not good. Aiyima si much, much better. I'm keeping it and returning the Fosi T3.
First, you're a great reviewer. Your presentation style is engaging and listenable and you take pride in your craft. It's a bit of a scandal that this video has less than 1,000 views. But I think, if I may say so, I think it might be an idea to bone-up a little more on the industry side of your reviews before you settle on a final draft, if this one is any indication. Fosi Audio has been putting out kit for a while now and they're well-enough respected that they show up in some of the shootouts and tier lists of some of the most successful reviewers out there, so it left me with a bit of an uneasy sense of the underlying expertise when you made it sound like nobody has ever heard of these guys. Along those same lines -- and I came back to my comment to add this bit -- you seem to wander back and forth between someone who really knows the technical insider side of this hobby, and someone who doesn't concern himself as much with that part. A person who knows what a "coupling capacitor" is (and who knows when they are under-sized), should be reasonably expected to know what a switch-mode power supply is, and an internal power supply, vs referring to them as "a janky wall unit" and an "actual supplied power cord" respectively. Switch-mode power supplies can be problematic because they can contribute EMI, especially if they're poorly made and or poorly choked, but they also offer some advantages -- namely that they reduce weight, heat, and non-modularity. Sometimes you can even upgrade a switch-mode power supply and get a lot more power out of a given amp, vs its stock power rating. So to say, "Hey look at these abstruse technical shortcuts we found when we took the lid off of this thing," immediately after having appeared to reveal a shaky grasp of the difference between internal and external power supply architectures, bespoke some pretty conspicuous blind-spots, or at least some strange choices in how to relate the information in your review to the audience. Still I watched all the way through and instantly subscribed, so please take this comment in the spirit of constructive notes rather than shrill TH-cam commenter trolling. I'm bummed that the T3 made such a lousy impression on you because I'm trying to put together a bit of a shootout myself, in which the $200 DAC-Amp segment of the market (with a $100 pair of passive speakers) is put up against a $100 tube or tube hybrid amp with separate DAC, which are in turn put up against a $300 pair of powered speakers like the Edifiers or the Q Acoustics. So if you have a $100 amp to recommend instead of this one for the purposes of the shootout, I'd be very grateful.
This is the type of feedback I enjoy reading, rather than the usual criticism about the lighting or post processing of my videos. Here is my only defense with the "janky power supply segment", I wanted to make it digestible for the folks who are novice to audio and amplifier topology, which is why the majority of the video is relatively in lamens. However, I had to include the part about the coupling capacitors because I felt it was in direct relation to the reason this amp cannot produce a proper amount of bass. I understand it was a bit odd to blend lamens with techy but I did that for those who DO know about amplification and may have wondered what we discovered. I appreciate the feedback nevertheless and hope you find the amp you're looking for. I will test the second amp they sent me in the same fashion we did this one to hold Fosi Audio accountable for their products. Oh and when I mentioned I couldn't find these guys, I was talking about their CEO and Cheif Engineer, not the company itself. I have heard of Fosi before, however this is my first time experiencing their products. Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you in the comments for future videos.
Oh my, that explains a lot. I actually got this thing for free and well, wrote a review about it on Amazon and was a little generous because the first impressions seemed okay. I fixed that review accordingly now that my worries have been proven right. This thing is bad and while testing it against my Xduoo TA-26 it really showed its bad characteristics in sound.
Major letdown? Even with exclamation mark? The exaggeration of all the negative points gives me the impression that there is something else going on in this review…. The T3 does a nice job for its price as you can see in the comments below.

Hey Russian tubes have never been quite as good as American ones, BUT they ARE HI HI QUALITY! Russia kept a tube operated computer functioning decades after we did. Because they are magnetron nuke proof! Impervious even! So they kept on manufacturing tubed for decades after we stopped! And they got VERY good at it. The first years all these new small 12AX7s and similar tubes were kept in production into the 90s so all these new tube driven preamps and other guitar FX and things even studio compressors and other things used these exact Russian tubes because they WERE the best available! When the demand for higher for good quality sounding tubes became so hot to sell, American manufacturers, {like groove tube had set up good quality controlled Chinese manufacturers. Some were good some sucked some weren't that bad! Still to this day I'd choose a Russian made tube over MANY Chinese tube manufacturers. I own MANY Fosi amps and preamps. {I have a honeyhole that sells alotta Amazon returns. I just got the INCREDIBLE TB10B. It's a serious Ti chipset that does nearly 525.watts.. almost 600 I think. And it's 59 on sale right now on Amazon. 20 dollar off amp! GET IT! it has SOOOO many great uses. It's even strong enough {with the upgraded 42V brick. It comes with a 32V. You could drive pre[y much ANY bookshelf AND or speakers as a great compact start to a main system! Fosi has great tube Pre's you can use if you want to tube up your sound! Thanks for the review. Sad. I'd like to hear it for myself. Because Fosi is usually pretty spot on when it comes to researching their future products. Some have been a miss, and some have done pretty well, and now their knocking it outta the park selling strategy! I'd LOVE to review some product Fosi!
I bought a T3 along with some Q Acoustics 3010s for my son and it Is simple superb…rich, accurate, bright, musical, not fatiguing.

You could drive pre[y much ANY bookshelf AND or speakers as a great compact start to a main system! Fosi has great tube Pre's you can use if you want to tube up your sound! Thanks for the review. Sad. I'd like to hear it for myself. Because Fosi is usually pretty spot on when it comes to researching their future products. Some have been a miss, and some have done pretty well, and now their knocking it outta the park selling strategy! I'd LOVE to review some product Fosi!
Just reviewed the TB10D-B on my channel. It was ok 👍
i think you have a faulty unit, I have not experienced half of the problems you describe.
