    Plans for homemade speakers

    What do you prefer, the frugal horns mk3 or the double bass reflex speakers? I would like to build a pair of speakers to use without subwoofer. Thanks!!

    FX Audio 6j1 tube preamp - a $31 wonder

    What do you mean with "happier"? Are you talking about watts per channel or sound quality? In my case, in a small room, with 6 ohms speakers and the fx audio tube, the volume in the amp is settled at 40%. So, 13 volts are more than enough for me.

    FX Audio 6j1 tube preamp - a $31 wonder

    I completely agree with you. less is more. In fact I have the fx tube 01 for a year. I love how it sounds with my Voskhod tubes and my linear power supply. The fx tube 03 I have in my secondary system. I found it on sale at a very good price (€ 25) and I could not resist. I have a pair of...

    FX Audio 6j1 tube preamp - a $31 wonder

    Hi! I´ve got the fx audio tube 03 and also de fx audio dac x6, in both cases I´ve read that rolling opamps would be an improvement. Before doing it,I would like your opinion.

    Very impressed with Allo Boss DAC with Raspberry Pi 3+, MOODE audio

    Hi! I'm thinking about changing my IQaudio Pi Dac + for an Allo Boss 1.2. As I do not have much knowledge about electronics, I thought about this Ifi Ipower PSU https://ifi-audio.com/products/ipower/ ti feed the DAC and the Raspberry through the DAC´s usb type C.

    FX Audio 6j1 tube preamp - a $31 wonder

    I have had a problem with some GE JAN 5654w. The fact is that after a week of using my Fx Audio Tube 01 with those tubes, my Pioneer VSX 324 amplifier suddenly went out. The first few times it turned off after 20 or 30 minutes of use. Later the blackouts were more and more frequent. At first, I...

    FX Audio 6j1 tube preamp - a $31 wonder

    I'm using the Voskhods an I´m already using the Voskhod 6J1P-EV (the ones with rocket logo, OTK and Rhombus) The fact is I noticed the bass quieter / rolled off with the chinese tubes. By the time I connected the Voskhod the bass became much more present, to the point that I had to lower the...

    Very cheap FX Audio tube-01 preamp

    As same as you all I hear is "better, bigger and richer sound". Specially with the Vokshod tubes, instead the chinese ones. So in my opinion, all is positive.

    Very cheap FX Audio tube-01 preamp

    It's courious, some folks hear noise and distortion and others don't. I've been using the Fx audio for two weeks and I didn't hear anything disturbing. Maybe it is delivered with different power supplies. I changed the tubes for a tested pair of Voskhod. What an improvement!! The sound is...

    Help - FX-AUDIO TUBE-01 Best Board Revision? Tube-01 vs Tube-03?

    Hi everyone! A few days ago I changed the stock tubes for a pair of Voskhod 6J1P-EV. Now the sound is awesome! With the stock tubes I barely heard the bass. Now the sound is brilliant, magic, with much more character. The bass is present all over the room. The tubes seller recommend a 100 hours...
