Fosi Audio P3 Tube Preamp Headphone Amplifier Home Audio Preamplifier Mini Vacuum Pre Amp Receiver with Bluetooth aptX LL HD Bass Treble Tone Controls for HiFi Stereo Active Speakers with RCA AUX Jack

This made a huge difference in sound for me. Paired with my sound card on my computer and a set of Sony MDR-7506 headphones this makes a formidable combo. I also really like the fact that I can swap between pc audio and bluetooth with a switch and listen to just about anything.

Pros: I have been a musician and music fan for my entire life. I have a substantially large music collection of many different genres. I’m one of those people who listens to the entire album with headphones or sitting in the center between two speakers, reading along with the lyric sheet. Sound quality and production are very important to me. I prefer studio recordings vs. live recording for that reason alone. Lets just say I’m a wanna’ be audiophile. When I received my Fosi P3 it changed the entire listening experience for me. I don’t know if it’s the tubes and the chips that give the music a spacial and more separated, clearer stereo sound. But whatever it is, Fosi got it right! I’m using it as a pre amp for my old Sony receiver which I never really was happy with the sound of, and now the Fosi P3 has improved the sound 100%. The clarity and spacial separation of hearing each instrument individually and and every little nuance in the production of a recording is truly brilliant and amazing. I run the Fosi’s output to the input of a channel on the Sony with bass & treble on the Sony in the flat position. So I only use the amp part of the Sony for power. I have the volume of the Sony at the two o’clock position. I use the Fosi’s delicate and accurate volume, bass and treble controls only. If you move these controls ever so slightly you can hear a substantial difference in eq. The bluetooth is perfect and connects immediately to my iPhone with no drop outs, static or interference. I intend to have a Fosi in every room of my home. Features I would like to see in Fosi’s future are multiple inputs and a remote control. Did I mention how great headphones sound in the Fosi? A new and surprisingly wonderful experience altogether. Another cool feature is when you plug in headphones, it mutes the speakers. I myself love this feature. I could go on and on but I’ll just say, you will not find a better way of listening to music for under one hundred dollars. If you really love and listen to music like I do, buy the Fosi P3, You won’t be disappointed. Btw, I now have 3 of these little amps. The same one in all 3 separate rooms Cons: Only 1 Input. No Remote. The tubes are difficult to insert. Fosi support was outstanding and sent me a video of unscrewing the gold rings out before inserting the tubes by even just unscrewing the gold ring was very difficult to unscrew and screw back in. Then the tubes are even more difficult to insert. I followed Fosi's instructions but the tube pins are definitely crooked and don't line up perfectly with the holes. You have to keep bending the pins carefully to get them to all fit in and when you do finally get them to line up the tubes have to be pressed down so hard that you feel you might break them. I took me almost 30 minutes to get 1 tube in. After buying 3 of these preamps, the tube insertion did not getting any easier, I have to say Fosi need to address this issue. Update 1-26-26 : I own 3 of these units and have found the Headphone Jack in all three have the Left & Right reversed. So what should be in the right ear you should be hearing in the left ear.

I love how simple this little pre-amp is. The unit boast decent specs too, with SNR above 103 db. The volume and tone control knobs are small, but even my big hands manage to use them OK. The tone controls are not linear, but are useful once you get used to using very small adjustments, and work very well and very silently. The main reason I was attracted to this particular unit was that it had BlueTooth 5.1, which is a big sonic improvement, now that I've heard it. Auto pairing can be a bit of a bother if you use your phone's bluetooth for other things. At this price this little Fosi Audio P3 is both a bargain and a sonic suprise, worth every penny.

I bought an Audio-Technica record player a while ago along with some powered speakers, but they weren't providing the sound I was looking for. Even though the AT turntable has a preamp, it just wasn't delivering the full sound I wanted. I kept seeing recommendations for preamps, so I took a chance with this one. I am so glad I did!! This preamp made a huge difference in adding the bass and punch my system needed! How much of a change did this make? I'll put it into perspective. Imagine having a lamp with a 25-watt bulb and then you switch the bulb out with a 75-watt bulb. You end up with a much brighter and better light that makes everything brighter and easier to see. Now, back to the preamp, adding this made the music brighter, and fuller and increased the bass!! That alone is amazing, but this preamp also has a headphone jack and Bluetooth! I can play music from the turntable or my phone or iPad through it and it sounds incredible! I was considering adding a subwoofer before I bought this preamp, now I'm wondering if I even need one since this added the low-end sound my system was lacking. Yes, it improves the sound that much...well, to me anyway. The small tubes that it comes with are not installed when you get the preamp, so you have to install them yourself and it can be a little bit of a challenge to line up all the prongs, but it's worth it. One of the tubes went in fairly easily and the other tube took a little while to get all the prongs lined up to fit in the holes, but I'm very happy with this purchase. If you're looking for an affordable tube style preamp, give this one a try!

I have been a very satisfied buyer of Fosi components for quite some time, and the P3 is the latest in a long line of pleasing purchases. I have the P3 on a nightstand and use it for one purpose only, which is to listen to Bluetooth audio from my bedroom TV, smartphone, and WiiM Ultra streamer through wired headphones (BeyerDynamic, closed back, 250 ohms). It performs flawlessly. I generally dislike Bluetooth, but the tube stage in the P3 warms it up nicely, along with the the subtle adjustments one can make with the bass & treble controls. The GE tubes that Fosi includes are top notch. Hint, leave the P3's volume control wide open at 100% and attenuate the volume from your Bluetooth source for the best result. My only suggestion to Fosi would be to revise the layout of the controls to match the Fosi GR40, (bass left, treble right, volume knob spaced to the right of the tone controls) for a more intuitive and user friendly experience. But that is a very minor grumble. The P3 is a great value at the listed price. Clear and transparent sound with Bluetooth harshness beautifully tamed by the lovely vacuum tubes, and enough oomph for 250 ohm headphones. It truly rocks. Highly recommended!

This amp suits my needs perfectly. I wanted an amp for my headphone for use with phone/ tablet as well as a CD player. This does just that, and I think it has a warm, rich sound. If you give this amp a good source and reasonable headphones, it will deliver good value. And it

I may not be using this in my system to it's full extent, or as intended, but the Fosi P3 is doing exactly what I need it to do. No need for the Bluetooth, not using the tone controls or the volume control... BUT I needed to take the edge out of the top end of a Fosi BT20A Pro. While I've been very happy with the BT20A Pro, certain tones in the upper octaves can catch you by surprise... a little clangy, zingy, edgy (worsened by the speaker I use). I went with the P3 because I read so many times over how it's well paired with Fosi amps. Inserting the P3 between sources and the BT20A is all it needed. Edge rounded off nicely! BUT there's more! Unexpectedly, the P3 has brought more fullness to the sound from bottom to top. Instrument separation is clean... focus is tight. Class D amps get a rap for vocals being forward. I notice the depth is back a bit more now... vocals seem more precisely placed in the sound stage. I was using tone controls but I am now back to flat, where it "should" be. Now tone controls add juice instead of getting it to flat... flat is flat now. I don't know how "tubey" this bugger is... it's not "yummy" or "syrupy" or whatever the audiophile head words are... it took the edge off and left all of the precision and beefed up the bottom and top. For me, a fantastic addition to the kit. Why no tone controls or volume control? I'm glad you asked... I use a WiiM Pro Plus as a hub of sorts. That way I can control volume and use the EQ in the awesome WiiM app. Fluance RT 82 with an AT VMN30EN cart upgrade, into an iFi Zen phono, into the WiiM... clean pass through RCA to Fosi P3 and finally RCA into Fosi BT20A Pro with Sparkos SS3602 op amp upgrade. Streaming and phono go through the P3. The BT20A feeds Sony SSCS5 and Elac 1010 Sub (crossover is about 70) very nicely. Someday I'll upgrade that Sony, but for now, it works well for me. Full recommendation for this Fosi P3 use case. I'll also add that the biggest impact upgrade in the kit was the Sparkos op amps. Those little bad boys do amazing things for class D amps.

This handles the regular task of being a phono preamp for my turntable great! Superb build quality, and all of the materials feel nice. But when you use the Bluetooth feature it makes your Bluetooth music sound muffled in a way. I’ve tired to mess with the eq, and setting but I just can’t make it sound right. I bought this for its Bluetooth feature but it’s unfortunately lackluster. The headphone output is nice but lacks any real power, so if you’re driving anything more than some Apple EarPods it’s not gonna be very loud.

Prodotto di altissima qualità, perfetto per ascolto di musica ad alta definizione. Lo ho abbinato ad un amplificatore Yamaha S-A201 e suona perfettamente, riesce ad aggiungere quella nota di calore che manca all’amplificatore.

Uzun zamandır fosi audio ürünlerini satın alıyorum. Zamanından önce teslim ettiği için Amazon'a ve de kaliteli ürünleri uygun fiyatlarla sattığı için fosi audio ' ya teşekkürler. Bu cihazı; Fosi' nin BT20A pro amfimin çokta parlak olmayan sesine katkı sağlar ümidiyle aldım. Genelde yorumlarda V3 ile eşleştirenlerin yorumlarıni görünce satın alırken biraz tereddüt ettim. Çünkü bu amfilerin zaten bir preamfi özellikleri vardı. İkinci bir ön amfi ile nasıl eşleşir endişesi taşıdım. Ama sorun olmadı. Bağlantılarını yaptım ve çalışmasında herhangi bir sorunla karşılaşmadım. Bu cihaz, BT20A pronun sesini daha açık hâle getirdiği gibi bas ve tizlerde de belirgin bir iyileşme sağladı. Bazı yorumların aksine tüpleri yuvalarına yerleştirmek iki dakikami aldı ve takarken hiç zorlanmadım. Bu arada bir tespitte bulunmakta yarar görüyorum. Bu cihazlar küçük ve her bağlantıyı bu kutucuğa yerleştirmek zor olabilir. Ancak yine de preamfi katıni daha kaliteli yaparak ve fiyatını o oranda yüksek tutarak insanların sürekli başka cihazları satın almak zorunda bırakılmaması yararlı olur diye düşünüyorum. Ancak bu tespit ve öneri; Fosi' nin işine gelmeyebilir. İlave özellikleri olan cihazları üretmek ve çeşitlendirmek günümüzün bir satış politikası olabilir. Ama yine de fiyatı biraz yüksek tutarak daha entegre edilmiş ve ses kalitesi artırılmış cihazlar üretmekte iyi bir pazar yaratabilir.

この商品は、インテリアとても良いと思います。 まず真空管部分ですが、通常はオレンジ色の電球色のみですが、青混じりで光ます。 音に関しても充分な出力があり絞って使用しています。 間に改造修理したイコライザーをかませていますが相性バッチリでした。 DACからイコライザーに繋ぎイコライザーから二つのアンプに分岐して電源Switch切り替えでヘッドホンとスピーカーの切り替えをしています。スピーカーの音とヘッドホンの音が近い音質で聞こえるので違和感なくかなり良いです！！ pcの純正ジャックに繋ぐと同じイコライザー繋いでいない為音が違うのは当たり前ですが、やっぱり耳に突き刺さりました。 それぞれ個人独特の環境作るのに役立つと思います。

My old and very cherished 1980’s music centre recently bit the dust, so I was looking to replace it in a cost effective way, but could not justify spending a fortune on an expensive amplifier which would only see occasional use, so after reading a few favourable reviews , I bought a Fozi V3 amplifier . I was a bit disappointed when I hooked it up to my Vintage Celestion speakers and connected my iphone to it to find that the sound was very underwhelming with a thin reedy sound so I put the V3 back in its box and forgot about it for a few months. One day , after a bit of googling I realised that I needed a pre-amp to boost the signal from the Iphone so I bought this Fozi P3 pre- amp for not a lot of money , connected it up to the Iphone / V3 amp /Celestion speakers and Wow ! , what a transformation. It sounded great . Inspired , I collected up all my old audio stuff, like a JBL 300 watt sub woofer I used in the car years ago, and I now have the best sounding sound system I have ever put together. With plenty of top end from the tweeters , I can really hear the high hats coming through , combined with earth shattering bass from the 300watt powered sub it sounds great . For the money, I think that this Fozi audio equipment is absolutely superb and fantastic value. This is an honest review, I bought the Fozi V3 and P3 with my own hard earned cash . I am really enjoying listening to music again !

Fosi P3 Calidez analógica. El último lanzamiento de Fosi Audio se trata de un previo a válvulas que añade una calidez que parecía perdida en el actual mundo digital ¿Qué nos ofrece el P3? Se trata de un previo analógico que permite la conexión de un dispositivo con señal de línea RCA y un dispositivo bluetooth, el P3 incorpora versión 5.1 Estéticamente se trata de un conjunto bien conseguido, donde las válvulas de vacío destacan en la oscuridad gracias una discreta iluminación de tono azul. En el frontal dispone de un selector de palanca que nos permite la desconexión del dispositivo y la selección de fuente, un guiño a los selectores de hace unas décadas. Además, dispone de un control de graves y agudos que permite ajustar el tono de la señal, una muestra de su calidad es que tanto en su posición mínima o máxima la señal no es distorsionada, recordando la ecualización de las mesas analógicas de alto nivel. En cuanto a salidas dispone de salida de auriculares en formato 3,5 mm. salida rca procesada por las válvulas y una salida aux. en formato 3,5 mm. para alimentar un sistema aux o subwoofer. Los datos de la salida para los auriculares son los siguientes RMS Power: 250mw @16Ω；150mw @32Ω；32mw @250Ω；20mW @300Ω Headphone Impedance: 16-300Ω Para las pruebas de auriculares he utilizado los Sennheiser HD25 y los Fidelio X2HR, consiguiendo un alto nivel de salida sin distorsión. Un detalle a tener en cuenta es que al activar la salida de auriculares desactiva la salida de línea del P3. La señal de línea del P3 puede alimentar tanto altavoces activos como conjuntos amplificador/altavoz pasivo en ambos casos aporta calidez a la señal. El tamaño del P3 es idéntico al amplificador V3 de la misma marca, permitiendo una instalación en conjunto y dotando al V3 de controles de tono y fuente. El tamaño permite tanto una instalación permanente, como una agradecida portabilidad que permite ubicarlo en diferentes áreas. ¿Para quién está indicado? Apasionados del sonido en general y uso de auriculares. Es una pareja perfecta para combinar con DAC`s sin salida de auriculares, mejorar la calidez de conjuntos con un sonido seco y amantes de la personalización del sonido ya que permite el empleo de una amplia gama de válvulas de vacío de 7 pines. La relación calidad/precio inmejorable como eslabón de la cadena de audio y unas muy buenas características técnicas.
