- Aiyima, fresh off of seeing the FOSI v3 Mono take the throne of cheap Class D amps from the A07 Max, is back to battle for power. Sending the Scientific Audiophile the A70, in hopes that FOSI's rule will be a short reign!

Below is the link Aiyima wanted to give, I'm aware its not to there website:

I make NOTHING off of links, but that isn't even a purchase link. The Amazon link below is for purchasing:

I suspect Aiyima would have an edge if they implemented a variable HPF for the main speakers, since almost all subs today already have a built-in LPF, making the potentiometer as implemented truly superfluous.
Classic review! Really one of the best. Deep dive on the same chip. Thanks for exposing me to Diane Bish. That album was not on my radar. I might compare the Fosi to the RSL.
Best under $50
Aiyima B01-has an impossible to believe 50w per main channel and 100watts for a passive sub. Also has active sub out and Bluetooth….this $43 also includes the power supply. Good enough for the garage.
Best at just under $60
Nobsound G2. Mono amp with a switch between crossed passive sub out and full range PBTL/FLAT mode..no Bluetooth with this one; but it’s like the cheaper garage version of the Aiyima 07max. The $54 includes the power supply.
Both very fun cheap garage level amps.
Finally someone sense to compare the products, before that I just saw many people promoting Fosi v3 Mono, I don't know what is the reason, is it because AIYIMA brand is not promoting it? Looking to buy and hesitating between AIYIMA A70 and Fosi v3 Mono. Now I have a decision, happy!
Lots of TH-cam reviews are based on promoting products.
Just bought a Fosi TB10 and resurrected two old 24 watt samsung speakers that sounded like crap with the original samsumg amp they came with. They sound great with an old and 100 dollar Kenwood turntable.
Fosi is coming out with a Hypex amplifier which might shake things up a bit if it is well executed and affordable.
They do sell a $200 AB amplifier with a toroidal transformer.
I will probably try it out as that is the lowest cost AB I have seen so why not ?
But I digress, excellent content on a topic that has been played out but you made it interesting.
I would really like to see Fosi tackle a GaN amp and bring the price down.
I might look into Fosi's AB. But the power must be at least 80 W^rms per channel (I hate that 600W nomenclature) Why don't manufacturers, for the sake of simplicity, just include those three little letters 'r m s' so I will not waste my thoughts about what the $200 will give me.
500 sit-ups and 600 hours of listening? Astonishing.
I was depressed.

Cheap is in the eye (wallet ) of the beholder.
True ,however some more expensive D’s ..are very impressive 💸
Great video 🍷
Luckily for me, everything costs the same because Daddy is paying for it.
Damn..Bish swinging pipes!😆
Much like you, someone would be crazy not to watch your contributions to this crazy thing, we call HIfi.
I heard that the son of Bish has an enormous organ that will require amps of this magnitude to drive
You heard correctly.
So the winner of the "Origami-Bonsai amps" battle is... both? Ok... Fair enough.
I'd like to see you test, if possible, a Douk Audio H7 Pro TPA-3255. It kind of resembles Johnny-5's head.
Douk hates me. I'll get sued for sure if I say anything disparaging.
@@scientificaudiophile Well, it is disappointing to see another manufacturer that can't handle a review. I felt a previous review of the H7 Pro from another reviewer was "too positive".
Thankyou...let's say if the speaker listening position won't allow level match is it better to use two amps or how would you recommend to solve this in budget gear with seperate volume control
Good point. There’s no balance on the Aiyima. Best to get a preamp and the FOSI’s.
@@scientificaudiophile which pre amp would you recommend? thanks.
@@manitsony6703 a lot depends on your source components, but the GUSTARD P26 is excellent.
@Scientific Audiophile or anyone that eard Dynavox VT-80, what are your thoughs between it and this chinese amps?
Sorry, I never heard a dynavox amp.
EE audiophile buys Hypex modules
Has to use tube preamp in the chain 😮
The real question is who can push the bigger pipe Bish or Big Mike?
I too like Diane Bish!
Actually in some ways, an external power supply could be good. Its keeping switching noise, even if slight - away from other components internally. I hate bricks and to be honest, I'd be willing to accept the tiniest increase in noise to keep clutter at bay - if the difference is virtually inaudible, meaning its only showing up on a spec sheet.
Yay! Jambalaya🥘
As an audio reviewer, you must improve your microphone audio
thanks for the review but i think we are all sensitiv to sound here, may i advice you to rather invest in a better mic, mic pre and adc ;)
Agreed. My two most recent videos are using a new mic combination.
And what are the better mic's?
See if you can get your hands on a Keces E40.
I will try. They sent me their preamp, so why not their amp? I'll check with my contact.
review the moondrop cosmo + para pads + EQ
Maybe. I've got more iems right now then I know what to do with.
@@scientificaudiophile the cosmo with para pads has the smoothest response ever so most likely its going to respond the best to EQ
@@scientificaudiophile it is very hard to drive though
You might want to check your sink, it sounds like your tap is running in this video
I think I finally figured out my mic issues.
Everything that's different is the same😂
Did I just hear you say Joe Biden . . 😄
I wont ever need an AB amp. Dont have the cash or wont spend it.
I didn't know Bish had a Bothers In Arms album (or song). Some would say Class D amps are as edited inside as far as circuitry, as the title track of Dire Straits Brothers In Arms. They took out two original verses to be politically correct and sensitive to Gays. "That lttle. F___t got his own jet airplane." "That little F____t he's a millionaire." For years they left those lines in the song and then music video. Does Bish play the original version or the "we must not offend anyone" (except with crap for music) edited version? How times have changed since the 1980s. Is there any connection between todays very bad, lacking in creativity and originality music and audio sales? If the music isn't very good nowadays, why buy audio equipment, to hear bad music? Of course the wiser among us know where to find good music. In the back catalogs of the 1950s to early 1980s, before creativity took a dive off a cliff, and continues to this day.
Maybe great music and creativity, (except comedy which comes out of pain), requires good times, not the manic times we have now. The human psyche and human creative genius works best when not clouded by the pessimism of current times.The 1960s and 1970s were very optimistic times. Times of hope and change. Who could imagine things changing now? We are bombarded by con artists from every direction trying to get at our money. Remember back many years ago, when our phone would ring and we would be excited at the sound of it? These turbulent times are not made for bringing out creative genius. Thank God for the older music, and the old equipment. Class D is catching up and might catch it some day. Some of it anyway.
Class D is indeed catching up. I've never heard of this group "Dire Straits". Since Bish doesn't sing, there are no words to be edited out. Her music will always pass the test of time.
YT. Dire straits, Sultans of Swing, alchemy live, from 1983. Mark Knopfler gets some amazing sounds from his guitar considering he doesn't use a pick!
Will you show us your wine cellar sometime?
You want to see an empty wine cellar?
@@scientificaudiophile😂😂
So much static noise in your video, maybe use better mics
I agree. Tried a $200 Sony mic - static. Tried a $125 Rodes mic - static. Tried the default mic on my camera - static. I think the camera is at fault. I'm going to try and record directly via the PC and sync the video and audio in post for the next video.
@@scientificaudiophile Have you tried those Sony MTL's F-96 mic? I bought one for a dollar (in a state sale) that is still in a box and never had the chance to use it. It's 3.5 mm and will try to convert it first to XLR and see if the transducer is decent.
NONE! SMSL and Topping are way ahead of these fosi audio, aiyima, douk junks
But I wouldn't call SMSL and Topping "Cheap". Aiyima and Fosi are kings of the cheap amps (sub $200, even sub $100).
@@scientificaudiophile they also have cheap amps like the smsl a300, da9, topping pa5, mx3s, etc.
"I went into a deep depression..." 🥲
Lost 20 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle. It was terrible and I don’t wish it on my worst enemies.
@scientificaudiophile how did you do that? I want to repeat:)
