We’re wondering what the revised stretch goal rewards will be as they have said they are planning to improve on what’s listed because a single MUSES op-amp isn’t very useful when you’re buying two amps.

Fosi Audio V3 Mono Amplifier Review

In the email I received today these might be changing.
nor a single xlr cable! Mind you there is a difference, as you would need 4 op amps not 2! ... language issue here in the marketing methinks
For some odd reason I thought it was implied to be one pair of cables but you make a good point if it was indeed just a single one.
-Ed
I know confusing! I actually just edited my reply to reinforce your point!
We shall see.
Yeah…although the op-amp thing is arguable because they said that theoretically you could just do one of the two gain stage pieces (per amp) and it would still work, just less of an effect. Either way I can think of better things for them to give us. The XLR cables, even a pair, does nothing for the backers who don’t run a balanced chain (I do, so not my problem, but then I already have plenty of spare XLR cables on hand as-is).

PS Admins pls don’t thread ban me, I’m just trying to talk about stretch crowdfunding goals, not the subject matter whose name shall not be mentioned.
Ditto.
Regarding the cables people can choose RCA.
There are a few things for Fosi to 'tidy up' for clarification in terms of marketing, and indeed some technical aspects. They do seem to get there though, so I'm looking forward to these revisions and updated info.
Could this be an RCA vs. balanced connection issue? I'm clueless on this stuff but that seems to be the difference in the way Amir tested vs. the Williston Audio video.
I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill, it could be there is a simple explanation and everything is fine. I'm trusting Fosi when they say the 10A is essentially the same as two 5A, or at least that they'll make it right if it's not currently.
Oxymoron
Oxymoron? Not really. Except if you take things extremely literaly. You nitpicked quotes from my post out of context. My qualifier 'not a bad review (if you can call it that)' was not meant about the quality of the review itself, but about the quality of the Fosi amp (based on the reviewers subjective opinion). I thought that was pretty clear from my whole post
. I don't see an oxymoron there.

It is not RCA vs. balanced I extremely doubt, but it should not be about trust! On all places but here on ASR!
A simple explanation is probably due here

No problem - and you are absolutely correct: I did misquote your post.Yeah sorry, I am a bit emoticon dyslectic
Well personally I think that the kickstarter page will be one of the first places they list the revised rewards, and also that they won't change the rewards posting location (or keep a revision history on them). Its still where I will be looking out for them.
When Big D (Williston) did the max power dyno run at 1% distortion at 4 ohms on 2x mono amps using a y-splitter on the "10A" power supply, both amps engaged a safety power off. When he used a single amp on the "10A" at 4 ohms 1% distortion, it did not do a safety power off.

Thinking about these since my Sabaj A30a purchase didn't pan out, I don't really need that many watts ( very efficient DIY 3-way speakers) but the PFFB and the pricing is tempting me. Would I need a RCA-splitter to connect the 2 monoblocks to my SMSL SU-6 DAC?
Of course not, they are monoblocks, each one has only one channel, therefore only one RCA cable

You are correct, now that I thought about it properly I can just connect the monoblocks to the R-L RCA channels of the DAC, should not ask such stupid questions in the morning. Order placed for 2xMono V3 with 2x 48/5V PSU.

$20 bet: One of these amps on a single 48v 5A power supply provided by FOSI, will score a higher power rating at >1% distortion and 2 Ohms on a dyno, than it does when two are connected to the 48v "10A(Max)" power supply provided by FOSI (also, it will have a lower noise floor).

No doubt if the 10A one is 6.3A after all as suspected by some previous posts.
I'm still waiting for @Fosi Audio 's response on this matter, if so I think it would be correct to allow those who chose the option with only 48V 10A to be able to have the combo with double 48V 5A instead
