This is quite possibly one of the sexiest in boxing of audio gear I've ever seen. Helps to have some eye candy, bro. And yes, I've been eyeing the Sprout unit for several weeks now, and will decide on purchase soon.
Many good reviews on this amp. Looks like a very good value amp. Not sure why I can’t find this sold in my country while many of the much pricier amps are available.
I am looking at purchasing a Sprout 100 to pair up with Klipsch RP-150M bookshelf speakers I own. In the near future, I will be moving into a trailer/rv of some sort, but want to keep some resemblance of audio quality once there. However, what is up with some of those web reviews, implying the Sprout 100 is only good for a desk or a closet. Based on the specs, it should be able to fill a living room quite nicely. Paul, what is your take on this?
I’m looking to do a similar build, I think this would need an AV Receiver. If you want to integrate this into the setup you’d probably want an AV Receiver with a preamp out to drive your left+right channels via the sprout.
The old youtube sprout unboxing from last week has also dissapeared!!! Lets "Ask Paul". Paul: where is the old youtube sprout unboxing with the bad cables?
The little cover is held on with a magnet. It's just below the touch area. Use something sharp to pry the little cover up and it flips off exposing the battery.
I'm so glad i went with an Onkyo TX-8270 network receiver over this ..Bluetooth only is you biggest mistake ..I'm in heaven being able to cast any audio from my PC to the receiver..The biggest thing i love is the receiver connects to my windows media server with 10TB+ of FLAC files..Plus having Tidal/Spotify/ect built in is even better,,
Huh, he skipped the cheap powercable? What else may he have skipped. We can ask Paul so he can make a youtube vid about the dissapearing cheap powercable?
Gideon Kloosterman Hi Gideon. I realise you were being humorous..unfortunately this is a pet hate of mine as this inaccurate use of language is exactly what confuses beginners! Then they plug in their MP3 player and wonder why it doesn’t work..or worse they have damaged their device! 😖
it was refering to the last video they did on this where they themselves said it was a cheap cable that needed to be upgraded ,i was being sarcastic here
Dear Paul , when you claim Sprout 100 is so great , why don't you make a Sprout 400 ,bigger in size let's say 4 times bigger , but at the same time four times better in a sound quality , including of course balance , bass and trebles knobs , A + B +AB speakers outputs , 2 sub outputs , pure direct switch , your best DAC , HDMI TOSLINK and other outputs , everything in one integrated unit . Of course price it 4 times as well at least 2 000 $ . I get dizzy when I look at those audiophiles equipment photos and videos with so many bulky boxes and all kinds of monster cables in theirs rooms , just mess . If you ever make like this amazing integrated stereo amp . I will be the first one in line to get one . I'm sure you can do it with your son , it is 21 st Century already :-) .
Omg! The whole world is fighting against the plastic soup in the oceans and PS glues plastic foil into cardboard! How do I dispose that environmently friendly? Better dont use plastic in cardboard PS!!!!!!!

Where is the hooking up with speaker part??
"You don't want to cut that" *tears it...*
Looks awesome!
Nice edit :)

I thought you were going to hook it up to some speakers.
Always amazes me how many people like to see somebody open up a box.
Can this power a 3.1 system set up? Klipsch R-51M bookshelf speakers, R-52C center, R-120SW subwoofer. Thanks.

Can you reccomend an FM receiver that fits on your Sprout and sounds as good? Please.
"Headphone input?" and the ground only works for the record player circuit? Please clarify.
I think I'm experience one of those Mandela effects. What happened to the cheap power cable? :P
13 Seconds ? Where and WHAT speakers do we connect to it?

Any plans to support Airplay 2 for streaming? The would be awesome for a mac household:-)
is it just 110v or 220v? I'm looking to buy one but I am in Australia and here we have 220v.
They are universal voltage.
@@Paulmcgowanpsaudio thanks which IC does it have? Is it class d??
@@SaurabhDhall It uses an ICE power module from ICE in Denmark.
Why change from coax to optical for digital input
This product seems to be unavailable, is that true?
Déjà vu minus the cheap power cable?
How do you change the battery on the remote control?

PS Audio Got it. Thanks!
I cannot find one of these used on eBay to save my life. Also, APT-X?

I'd pay more if it was made in the USA.
I've been trying to find information about what damping factor the Sprout100 has, but not beeing able to... Does anybody know this? Thanks in advance!
If memory serves correctly it is about 100.
I don't think anyone buying in this price range cares about such things xD
I need this in my life
Shame the phono stage doesn’t support moving coil cartridges.
they edit the part that says that the cable is cheap (not expansive $100 dolars cable)
Looks like a winner
Is the Sprout 100 available for sale in Japan? Just asking for a friend.
You people in Japan have so many better devices for less, why bother...
Only 4 banana connector?
Huh, he skipped the cheap powercable? What else may he have skipped. We can ask Paul so he can make a youtube vid about the dissapearing cheap powercable?
He flat out deleted the installing video now lol.
Surely it’s a headphone output not input.....?
Well both, you PUT the headphone IN there 😄
Gideon Kloosterman Then it’s an OUTPUT. The audio signal is output from this connection....🙄
@@steven2809 I know ;)

Does this have a variable line out I wonder?
again?
The controversial cable talk is cut out now.
Again didn't explain what a Sprout 100 was, how it works, how it sounds, and price?
Bluetooth 5.0?
I assume it comes with a coupon to Panera Bread and a narrated test drive of a Subaru.
very cheap power cables on this ,may have to upgrade

Soda Pop : If, PS Audio make a better one then Yamaha A-S 2100, why not . :-)
No SPDIF, wow not good!
Proudly made in China??
Am i dreaming or did I see this before?
Soda Pop O yeah! I remember someone said that this PS moron opened a package he just packed a few minutes ago! Why?????
@@pblnlpalu Das een beetje grof hé
No bass and treble 👎
Omg! The whole world is fighting against the plastic soup in the oceans and PS glues plastic foil into cardboard! How do I dispose that environmently friendly? Better dont use plastic in cardboard PS!!!!!!!
lol what? Have you even seen one of these packages before? You can peel it off in 2 seconds if you want to.
I think it's actually a pretty clever way of securing the unit.. otherwise it's a much bigger amount of styrofoam.. so well done I say.
Or keep it in case you decide to resell it somewhere down the line? Curious how these sound...
