No sneering Please


Please no flaming.

Audio snobbery aside, has anyone ever done an objective  comparative test of the latest chifi TPA3255 chip powered amps vs the 'high-priced spread'?

I am prepared to be shocked.

No sneering, please.

@bigkidz  I don't know any reviewers.  I'm not in the industry.  I'm just a retired guy who loves music.  I didn't mean any offence when I questioned your statement.  I just don't get all the negative comments about reviews.  Call me naive, but I like to think publications such as Absolute Sound would not intentionally print misleading reviews and would be publishing reviews by people with a lot more knowledge of equipment than I have.  I wouldn't run out and buy something based on one article, but I also wouldn't discount the reviewers opinion just because it's the first I've read.  When I read the list of equipment the reviewer is using for his baseline comparisons, it's usually top shelf gear?  Are reviewers a bit jaded?  Possibly.  But if I want a review that trashes equipment and tells me what a waste of money it is, I can always jump over to ASR to cleanse my palate.  🤣  Merry Christmas.

@terry9 and even better if compared to heard voices a cappella….. 

I haven’t looked at the failure modes of the amp the OP is promoting, great speakers don’t like DC…..

@crustycoot IMF….man that guy had ears…. i worked at a store that carried them in 1978…. simply wonderful…..

 

By the way, aside from linking that Absolute Sound review on the Technics SU-G700M2, I own it, love it, and will not part with it unless I come into a ton 'o money, in which case, I'd probably buy the SU-R1000.

I have a couple Fosi amps including v3. Color me impressed.    One drives a pair of KEF ls50s very nicely.   Audio Science Review site has done reviews of many affordable amps like these and is a good resource for more info.  

I am impressed too...I own two very low cost pre-amp S.S.  Fosi sk01 and  tube Douk P2 , neither is junk ...Not hi-fi for sure ,  but not junk ...😊

For me there is 2 simultaneous revolution in audio , low cost producy at relatively high quality which never existed before in so large numbers ... And the BACCH filters ...
