Pretty happy so far with the Fosi TB10D with the standard power supply.

What I love about the V3 that I can run it full tilt without any distortion, which is nice when connecting it to a preamp like the Arylic BP😊😊50.

I'm watching this video listening through an MC101. You've never sounded better to me, Randy! :)<br>I bought this for my desktop system at work, hence wanting BT. I'm using the V3 (48V) for my home desktop. They both sound great. I couldn't tell you which one sounds better, I can't do ABAB quick switch comparisons. Smile on face = good stuff.

Match Randy's tiny amps to one of his tiny DACs and rp600m or br03 or miniLore and you can't believe the volume of 3D sound filling your living room. Crazy quality and value. Tx Cheapaudioman

Fosi Audio for the win! Booya! I just bought the Fosi MC 331 because, well, it's adorable and super dang cheap. This thing DOES NOT DISSAPPOINT. I originally bought it to stream music in a small bedroom. For funsies I hooked it up to my old Pioneer CS 707 speakers down in the main part of the house. You know, I can hear those speakers a half an acre away clearly. I know this, because that's how far the garden and barn are from the house. True, the old speakers don't need a lot of power to put out, but my 1980's teenage self feels like I am living in the famous Maxell Cassette tape ad. If I had had this amp going to college there would have been no peace for the dorm. I suppose that would be a good argument for headphones. Since I am old, I don't have to give a toot, mostly because I am too deaf to hear the complaints. So, thanks heap loads for the pointer. Me and Joan Jett, Oingo Boingo, Dead Kennedys and the Psychedelic Furs have some quality time to spend together.

I'm starting to plan a "casual listening" setup in the bar area in my basement that I'm setting up. We have a monthly beer club and a monthly poker club that travels and a few times a year it's my turn. So, we're talking background music mostly and occasionally more of a "have you heard this song or this band" kind of thing. Letting guys connect from their phones as well as being able to connect a turntable would be great. I think this setup also translates, minus the phono, to a garage, or home office scenario. So far, we've been using those little Bluetooth portable speaker gadgets but I'd rather not. In the bar area as well as the garage I think wall mounted speakers would be better or I could put up small shelves to locate the speaker off the ground. Maybe you already have a video on this or would like to make ne if you think there's enough interest. So far 've been trying to glean bits and pieces from your existing videos. This one might be the amp for the non-phono setup.
