Fosi Audio V3 Mono - My First Experience w/Mono Speaker Amp! - Honest Audiophile Impressions

A BIG thank yoiu to Fosi Auido for providing the V3 Mono for review, much appreciated.
The Fosi Audio V3 Mono is a class D mono amplifier. This is my first ever experience using mono amps so I had no idea what to expect. There is no comparisons in this video as I don't have anything to compare as far as mono amps.

I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician.
Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.

Thanks, David!
God Bless You!

[@sonhouse9636]

Hi Dave, always faithful to your videos, thanks! These little amps seem very good to me, I read that they tend to heat up a little quickly? It would be nice if they sold a matching preamp.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Yeah, they do get a little hot, not the worst I have used. A matching preamp for sure would be a nice addition.

[@leetaylor13]

@@TheHonestAudiophile There is a P3 tube pre-amp which comes in the same sized case and is price comparable.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Thanks for the information

Fosi audio did a good job in the implementation of the Texas Instruments class D chips. They are on the right path. I wonder if TI will release an improved chip to continue their commendable progress. I think companies like Yamaha, Denon, etc., should look into using these IC technologies in their receivers that usually have amplifiers that fall short. This will lower prices & improve performance.

Hey im planning to buy iems and i am on a tight budget and my picks are truthear zero red and the kiwiears cadenza if i were to buy one what should it be?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Cadenza is bassy fun and the Zero Red is more neutral leaning. Personally I'd choose the Zero Red because of its neutral presentation.

[@albertmcalbert2198]

@@TheHonestAudiophileDo you know any other iems that is a little better than Zero red but still on the cheap side cuz ive tried the red and I liked the sound but is there any other upgraded iem like it because im willing to increase my budget by a little

I have wonder if the high price of any of the amps out there that are built with off-the-shelf amp modules (ICE, HYPEX, ect...) is worth it over amps like this Fosi amp?
The only difference I see in those high priced amps is the case it the off-shelf-parts are in. Those amps kinda seems like a scam to me.
