Review: I had a short range mid-fi setup mostly vintage (technics turntable, grado green 3 stylus, jvc amplifier and behringer monitor speakers) where my weakest link was an emergency phono preamp, a pyle pp444, I manage to get from a friend when my integrated phono preamp failed. I had this for a while and although I was aware there was a lot of room for improvement I didn't want to get a new costly amplifier. I read reviews on the fosi box x5 and due to its budget price tag decided to give it a go. I cannot express how much the sound of my setup has improved. Rich and clear bass, very clear mids and crisp yet not overbright highs. The dynamic range expanded to the sky and lots of headroom in overall performance of my audio equipment. It is one of the most price quality ratio equipment Ive ever invested. If ever in the look for a affordable and competent phono preamp, look no further. Fosi rocks!
Review: I bought this after a lot of research. It actually delivers what I found out through the research. If you need a phono preamp without a hole in your pocket just buy Fosi X5 and look no further. It instantly gives the required kick for your vinyl setup. Satisfying to the core.
