This is one of, if not THE best, full coverage of an Amp, that I have ever seen. Literally walks you through and at a easy pace too. Well done and good job on the new mono amp too!
Well done, this is an absolute godsend to the community. I am very impressed with this implementation and the supplied measurements thus far. Next up; bigger boxes with reliable built in power supplies?
kudos for saving the money on the pots - it's a job of the music source (read Walkman, iPhone, Android) , resistance steps volume controller or high-quality digital knobs controlled AVR preamp to adjust the milliWatt input to the V3. I strongly agree with the removal of the 'Potentiometer' for volume control, less parts to be worried about. Only dumb will request this in a 'mono' AMP!
If you are concerned with overheating, you might want to check or use the coolers used for laptops. You can put these amps over the laptop coolers to cool the amps. I bought a used laptop cooler at the thrift store for $5.00. The cooler I bought has two fans which is perfectly pointed to each of the amps on top. Although the amps do not get that hot, I still put them on top of the coolers just in case the amps need some cooling.
Interesting. Which op amp(s) do you advise to add a little warmth/smoothness, improved soundstage, little bit more emphasis on reverb to the sound without losing clarity/fidelity/details?
I would love a 32 Ohm (mono mode) : 33.5W RMS per channel, 300 Ohm (mono mode) : 6.4W RMS per channel 600 Ohm (mono mode) : 3.5W RMS per channel mono headphone Amplifier stack from fosi for $500 or less for for things like the modhouse tungsten double-sided☺☺☺️
Is it possible/safe to have one sub - but still in stereo - with these monos? If so, what would be the safest way to connect them to a single rel sub? 🙏🏼
How can a 5.1 setup be achieved with monos ? What device will provide 5 channel preamp signal with DSP for surround setup? Is there a DAC with 5 channel output , eARC input and sub out ? Some help on the matter please 🙏🏻 Also can i use the Wiim Pro Plus with a set of those? Does the Wiim PP have volume control?
Schiit Audio Syn is a 5.1 surround DAC for $399, but looks like RCA or optical input only, no HDMI eARC. But as the other commentor said, you could use an AVR that has pre-outs, that just might set you back a bit for one with pre-outs for the 5 primary surround channels
Gia collegate ad una coppia di speakers chario delphinus..il suono e' favoloso...consiglio di uti Izzare l alimentatore da 10 ampere x ogni singolo ampli. Si avranno prestazioni migliori..😊
Thanks for all the replies.. I have 2 VA-3’ s running in mono already so I guess another dumb question … will these amps sound better being that they are specifically designed for mono ?
i have za3 and i think it has 5 op amps. I replaced 2 for the left and right channel. Why do V3 mono has 3? What are the two op amps for as you said the third one is for the conversion of RCA to balanced.
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 2 Schitt audio Vidars would be more than comparable and cost $1600. So are you saying the Fosi's will retail at $160 for a pair?
The loudspeakers (and room, and recording quality) should have a lot more to say about the final sound quality than almost any amplifier. This gives a lot of power for not so much money.
No balanced information ? That design should be balanced by default . And the RCAs are added for consumer gear and voltage. XLR s are higher , and more robust signal ! By design... the whole home theater thing that was described should have covered this ? I'm not a home theater fan, but running in XLR mode you would run long interconnects and short speakers cables ! That's one of the benefits of balance XLR . Hooking up a portable device is not a demonstration of the so called capabilities of such a unit? The word Audiophile is used many times in this video ,but this is not an audiophile demonstration! Start with your best application then work your way down? Starting with portable devices is not Audiophile?
