Review on πŸ”Š FX-AUDIO TUBE-03 Tube Preamp GE5654 Tube Hi-Fi Preamplifier - Perfect for Home Theater Stereo Audio with Bass & Treble Control - DC 12V (Black) by Jared Stauder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent value for money product with self-improvement capability

This product offers some of the essential characteristics of desirable tube sound. In many cases, the solid-state sound of some modern audio products can be a bit harsh. They lack compelling warmth, depth and solid punch. Many high quality, premium audio products use tube or solid-state (hybrid) combinations to achieve immersive analog sound. This product allows you this combination by positioning itself as an integrated isolation amplifier with many flexible applications. DAC output, preamp output, car audio head unit output and more. I am very happy with this product and it allows me to further improve the sound with DIY applications (tube and op amp swapping etc.). This important piece of information was accidentally omitted from my first post of this review: The manufacturer should update the product's user manual. how the various product controls work. Specifically the tone controls (bass and treble). I asked a question about the FX-Audio Tube 03 product on Revain and received responses that I needed to verify. The bass and treble controls work the same as most rotary (potentiometer) controls. The midpoint means no change in tone; Clockwise indicates a variable frequency increase; Counterclockwise means subtraction of the variable frequency.

Pros
  • Receiver and Amplifier
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance
