– Fosi Audio MC331 Tube Integrated Amplifier with DAC, 2 Channel Home Audio Stereo Power Amp for HiFi Bookshelf Speakers/3.5mm Headphones, Vintage VU Meter Preamp with Bluetooth and USB/Opt/Coax/RCA

Very nice amp and for the price it’s a steal

another great Fosi product

Well made, nice retro appearance, very easy to set up and sounds very good straight out of the box.

Tubes seem to have blown… stopped working in a month with minimal use and low-moderate volume. Device still turns on, input VU meter shows signal, but no output.

Very nice sounding amplifier, amazing with my Bose series 4

コンパクトで多機能。良い音がします。真空管を替えれば音の変化も楽しめます。

Un pre amplificador con un dac integrado que le da calidez a las cuerdas y voces, ayuda muchísimo cuando quieres modular graves o agudos y en general tiene un gran desempeño.

There are basically two categories of inexpensive audio equipment: "you get what you pay for" and "capable of embarrassing much more expensive equipment". I think Fosi has garnered the reputation at this point to run for president of the latter group. I love this amp. I'm a musician and high quality audio is important to me, so believe me when I say it sounds good. The warmth and quirks of the tubes is very audible. Play music through it before they're fully warmed up (and they do get quite warm) and the sound is harsh and lacking dynamic range. Give it a few minutes and the sound mellows out and the sound stage comes into its own. There's easily enough power to fill a room, and it's sounded full and detailed with every genre. I also really appreciate the style and build quality of this unit. Unlike many other products at this price point, the construction is entirely metal; and not foil-thin metal the flexes under minimal strain. It feels sturdy, thick, and has a decent weight. There's no plastic here (except for the shield on the vu meter and the protection tubes around the vacuum tubes, which I don't mind). Even the knobs on the front are metal, and feel very satisfying in the hand. The connections on the back are also solid, if a bit small and close together. I think banana plugs are pretty much a must on this unit, unless you want to spend 10 minutes "threading the needle". Out of the box, the tubes come separately and you attach them yourself, giving it a bit of a DIY feel. Maybe having to partially assemble the unit yourself heightens the emotional connection. It's not just plug-and-play; you actuay have to spend some time interacting with it before you can use it. The tubes are featured prominently, but the amp makes no obfuscation of the fact that it's a thoroughly modern piece of equipment. There's a minimalist aesthetic here that I appreciate, and it's pulled off much much better than the brands that try to go for a faux-vintage look. The volume knob is doubles as the input selector by pushing it and the power button by pushing and holding for a few seconds. Turning it on or off, either with the power button or the handy remote, the unit gives a satisfying click. The only other controls, the bass and treble knobs, are very functional. The dichromatic amber-on-black is visually pleasing, and the amber lighting around the tubes is actually tastefully done I think. Tubes naturally have a dim glow, but many units (especially cheap ones) feel the need to play this up by covering the tubes in LEDs that usually look tacky. Here, the subtle amber glow accentuates the tubes, I think, rather than obfuscates them. The VU meter is also just fun. I think that's about all I have to say. I'm gonna go back to listening now.
