    Review of Fosi Audio V3 Stereo Amplifier

    I was kind of biased against Class D, but this was a pleasant surprise. Mine shipped with the 32v supply, but I recently got a 48v one to take advantage of the higher power.

    Glass bezel specs for 3D printer?

    Here are some pictures and measurements. Top View: Close up of bottom side with channel: Taper profile: Silver paint on top surface: The width at the bottom is 7.82mm, the width at the top is as you can imagine harder to measure with the slope, but I measure 2.85mm. The height is...

    Glass bezel specs for 3D printer?

    I still have my 2255 bezel which isn't attached at this time. I'm not sure if that could help you for a MPI-4 though. Maybe it could be 3D scanned and dimensions could be modified to fit various models?

    Refreshing finish on C27 case

    Yeah, I do have Feed-n-Wax, as well as Restor-a-Finish in different colors and have used them on speakers and cases as well when they look dry or have imperfections that need to be blended with the rest of the case. In this particular case, it seems a lot like my 2255 case where it seemed like...

    Refreshing finish on C27 case

    What would you do personally on this case? Someone recommended naphtha first to see how it looks after cleaning with that and then go from there.

    Refreshing finish on C27 case

    What do you all use to refresh the finish on an old case. This is a pic of my C27 case: I have and can use Howard’s, but a friend who refreshed another McIntosh case years ago that also showed little grain and seemed tired used (I think) laquer thinner to make the grain come through more and...

    MC2255 Step-By-Step Glass Replacement

    I had my 2255 paired with a C35 for years, which doesn’t have a bezel, so going without made even more sense to me besides looking more modern. My bezel also has dings and scratches, so replacing the glass face with a brand new one and then putting on the old bezel wasn’t great either. I still...

    MC2255 Step-By-Step Glass Replacement

    About the plastic bezel, consider trying with it off for awhile as it looks more modern with it off. You can always add it on later. OP, if you’be got it figured out from the above, great. If you need more detailed directions, let me know. At one point, Tom Manley was kind enough to let me...

    Review of Fosi Audio V3 Stereo Amplifier

    I don’t think, at least based on the spec pages, that the V3 stereo uses the 10A. It just specs 48V/5A, or is that incorrect? I‘ve been using mine as a garage amp for some old Infinity bookshelves, but am thinking of moving it inside to use on a single Sony SS-M7A speaker that has two sets of...

    Review of Fosi Audio V3 Stereo Amplifier

    I came in late to the 48V power supply discussion, but recently bought this one: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805958893300.html Really inexpensive compared to Fosi’s and seems to work well on my V3.

    CJ PV5 Questions

    Excellent question, and I don’t remember! Not too long after I recapped it, I went through a whole cycle of rotating through new speakers and eventually changed them, added two subs, and am using a miniDSP Flex with corrective PEQ curves to compensate for room issues. All that being said, I...

    Potentiometer “Tightness” Question

    Faderlube worked perfect. It became looser/better the next day, and now it’s about perfect. Thank you. Real night and day difference and the owner who’s getting this unit back will enjoy the feel of this control a lot more than the struggle it was to move the knob. Especially with how...
