About this deal

As for the turntables do not have a built-in preamp, you need to add an external phono preamp before connecting BT20A. So in this case the amp with 48 volts had 69 watts at 8 ohms and 146 with 4 ohms. You really wouldn't have expected more than 138 watts. So a bit odd, but not current limited.

Given its low price, I suspect very few Fosi BT20A Pros will ever arrive on the used market. Why would anyone buy a used one when new ones with a warranty are so cheap? This is the perfect “give it to a deserving musician or young person” integrated amplifier as you move up the component ladder. At 50 percent of its retail, it might cost as much to ship as you would get for selling it. Just give it away or recycle it when you are done with the unit. The Fosi BT20A integrated amp installed in Steven Stone’s audiophile system Who Is the Competition for the Fosi BT20A Pro Integrated Amplifier? I listened to a lot of records when comparing the two Fosi amplifiers, but to keep it simple, I’ll just focus on two of them in this review. At the risk of sounding vain, I’ve come to realize that part of my love for this hobby of buying audio gear lies in the fact that a lot of it looks really awesome displayed at home. Make sure there are no obstacles between your device and BT20A, obstacles will affect the Bluetooth operation distance.Yamaha is the name that has been on the amplifier/receiver market for decades, if not to say, for ages. Some may smile in nostalgia, some may even scoff. But the fact is Yamaha is a samurai that faithfully follows its path no matter what. Yamaha A-S301BL shows its predecessors’ style – brave and not shy to be big and bold, definitely not trying to hide itself from view. As a true samurai this Yamaha amp is able to find balance between following new trends in home theatre niche and staying a true protector of true audiophile values. With a set of standard RCA inputs Yamaha A-S301BL supports the digit with a coaxial and an optical inputs. So your TV and Blu-ray player are covered. With the optional YBA-11 wireless adapter A-S301BL can be wirelessly connected to a Bluetooth capable audio source, like a phone or a PC. Additionally, the capabilities of the amp include an option to connect two different set of speakers and easily switch between them. Nice thing to have if you want to power up two rooms. Next, we have an entire bunch of inexpensive amplifiers coming from under the same roof. They really go close to each other, especially considering their prices. On the other hand all of them have distinctive features that make them serve same purposes, but with different flavors. Fosi Audio BT30A is a mini amp that can probably go first, because it shows a good balance between power and frequency. Fosi Audio BT30A gives 50 watts per channel, which is pretty good for a small unit like that plus a 100 watt for a subwoofer channel. It only weighs less than 2 pounds and small in size, so it can fit on a desk or a shelf with no issue. It can also be moved around easily, because protected by durable aluminum casing.

This probably comes from my love of vintage audio pieces like my Marantz 2270 and my McIntosh MC 2505, both of which I have reviewed on this blog. I love sharing photos of these pieces while listening to music and people notice them and ask me about my gear when visiting my home, sparking fun conversations. I personally use TIDAL, and in the cable version I use my laptop as a source, and I connect my phone via Bluetooth. I was skeptical about the sound quality, but apparently the 5.0 technology works well because the difference between the quality when using the two sources is negligible. However, I recommend connecting the amplifier with your laptop through theHere we want to give an exclusive 20%-off discount promo code for the BT20A Pro to all ASR fans.

This nicely lands the BT20A Pro in the "very good" category of all amplifiers tested regardless of price: Fosi Audio reached out to us again, with an offer to review their new BT20A Pro amplifier. After the pleasant surprise of the TB10D amplifier there was no question we would pass up a chance to review another model. This amp is an upgrade to the already available BT20A; don’t let that price fool you when it comes to quality. Really, the only occasion we would suggest buying this amp is if it was on sale and better options were sold out. realise the Chinese audience probably loves Bluetooth and so there doesnt seem to be an easy or cheap way to switch inputs from BT to auxA handy and convenient feature that the BT20A Pro has and the original does not is its ability to clear a Bluetooth connection simply by pushing in on the Pro’s volume knob. This is the class D amplifier, it will cost very low power when it is in standby mode. It can be connected all the time and it is safe without power consumption. Connecting the amp was easy even for a novice like me. Everything is clearly marked on the rear panel, with the amplifier having the ability to work connected via an RCA cable as well as via Bluetooth. In the box, in addition to the amplifier, power supply and power cable, there were also gift connectors of the “banana plugs” type, which made it even easier for me. I would say you might buy this because it’s small and cheap and can fit almost anywhere. It would be a good enough unit to use as a secondary system in a small room or even in a garage workshop where you don’t mind it getting dirty. In addition to the unpowered analog output to your speakers, Fosi also included a proper 3.5mm PRE-OUT on the BT20A Pro. You can use it to connect a powered subwoofer or speaker but you can also use it as a preamp and attach it to a power amplifier. That lets you use the volume, treble and bass to control the audio, passing on all the work to the power amp. With 300W available already you may never need to make use of it. Seeing it on an amp of this cost is a very nice bonus.

The tests are in 48 volt unless I say otherwise (I had mistakenly assumed it was the standard, not the 32 volt). Here is our dashboard: The BT20A Pro includes treble and bass controlswith a central detent so they can easily be reset to the neutral position. There is also a line-level output linked to the volume control so you can easily add a subwoofer.

Its a much smaller box than the A07 Pro - so heat might be a problem if played loud for a long time - I imagine if op-amps are swap maybe some extra vents would be drilled into case Overall, the major sound difference between the two amps was more detail in the music, provided by the BTA20A Pro. Should You Upgrade to the Fosi Audio BT20A Pro?
