Welcome New Members to ASR, introduce yourself here.

[AdamG]

Is it my imagination or are there more new peeps here than usual lately? I am being a little bit extra nice and not confrontational on the objective versus subjective to entice them to stay..LoL. Later I can be more objective and stuff.

I do a monthly back of the envelope summery on New Member numbers and they are pretty steady. Maybe a slight bump in the last week or so. Amir will correct me if I am incorrect.

Very cool. That's good information. Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I have been a member of this community for the past four years. Unfortunately, my account seems to have been hijacked or compromised in some way. I'm not exactly sure what happened. Regardless, I have decided to start fresh and have requested the moderators to delete my old account.

So, here I am, reintroducing myself. However, I don't quite feel like a newbie, more like veteran of this hobby.

In my experience, ASR stands out as the best hi-fi forum. It is rational, informative, helpful, enjoyable, and free from the usual nonsense.

I'm based in England and have been into audio for the past 30 years.

Hello everyone,

Welcome,

I've never posted a Hello to ASR members either, I guess this is a twofer. In spite of my neglect, ASR members have been a wealth of information with
a reserved set of ideas at the core, "show me the BEEF"

It took me several years to join for the simple reason, I finally retired and started looking into Forums. It took a while to find one of the better
ran forums too. I ran a BBS for 20 years and this is one of the most preteen BBS/Forums on the planet. It reeks of "I'm proud of what I do." AND they/he
should be.

I simply love the tools, the way it's ran, the attention to detail, the way it's moderated, the way the SysOp/Moderator(s ?) are open to interaction and
welcoming new commers with a gentleman's approach. Not the norm, that's for darn sure. AND NO FRIGGIN' ADDs.

A form dedicated to "here is the proof" vs this is what I think. Refreshing constructive information you don't have to weed through. I like philosophy
in general, but not the psychedelic philosophy of MANY in the Audiophile/Gearhead/Hording world of what ever you or me claim to be. I like all thing
mechanical, I HATE being shocked, BUT I like watching people get zapped. I can't help myself. "I wouldn't do that if I was you" ZAP! I love it.!

It's better than eatin' bugs. Speakin' of bugs, it's time to feed the chickens.

Regards

This is a great place for advice based in engineering and science, and some people here have incredible knowledge of audio gear and how to get the best from it.

Yes indeed

Well done and even more so for making it an open source design that others can try if they're so inclined.

Good morning, another a new member here (from the UK) having recently upgraded my main music system and Home Theatre. I'm currently running a Wiim Pro Plus into an Audiolab 7000A feeding Monitor Audio Silver 300 7Gs for music and a Denon AVR-X2800H feeding an old pair of B&W 603 S2s for HT. Having read the thread on the upcoming Fosi V3 Monos I'm considering adding a pair as power to my 7000A (as pre). Any thoughts on this are welcome.

 

[antcollinet]

Any thoughts on this are welcome.

Welcome to the forum.

Only a marginal upgrade in amplification comared to your 7000A. I probably would not bother. Bear in mind the 70W of your current 7000A to the 120W (into 8ohm) or so of the V3 mono, is only about 2.4dB increase.

If you want to discuss this further, please create a dedicated thread - we shouldn't divert this one onto a technical discussion.

 

[ABAstroUK]

Probably a useful upgrade to the amplification, but only if you need to go to higher SPL levels than you can currently achieve.

Also bear in mine the 70W of your current 7000A to the 120W (into 8ohm) or so of the V3 mono, is only about 2.4dB.

If you want to discuss this further, please create a dedicated thread - we shouldn't divert this one onto a technical discussion.

Thank you for replying, that's really helpful. To be honest I got caught up in the Fosi review thread and thought for the price they would be worth a try. I'll consider starting a dedicated thread as suggested to open the discussion.

Sorry I edited during your reply to downgrade my recommendation, due to the marginal power upgrade.
