Things to Know

Fosi Audio TB10D (Upgraded)

  • Volume control is logarithmic but very sensitive; gets loud at the 9 o'clock position.
  • Tone controls lack a center detent, making it hard to know when you are truly 'flat'.
  • DC input spark is common when plugging in the power supply (connect to amp first, then wall).

Fosi Audio V3 Mono

  • Chassis gets significantly warm due to the compact thermal design coupled with high power density.
  • Auto-standby feature produces a mechanical 'click' that some users find audible in quiet rooms.
  • Requires two separate power bricks (or a specialized splitter) for a stereo pair, adding cable clutter.
