What do you think of Fosi Audio P3 Vacumm Tube Pre-Amplifier?

Fosi Audio has few introduction on this pre-amp, but I really like its design

I don't want tubes myself so don't see any attraction to this product myself. I gasped. though, when I first looked at the $ amount on the page, thinking it was a price What is the projected cost? I suppose if you like the tubey thing and the limited features of gear like this, it might work for you....

What is it you particularly like about it, though?

It's about $65, the amount on the page is the donation, not the price of the single product.
I like the tubes, I guess they will make the sound "warmer"?

Not many here dwell into tubes, I don't think. Yesterday's technology.

Better ways to alter the source material than tubes.

At that price hard to believe the tube thing is well executed either, even for just a pre-amp. Warmer is the general myth. EQ or even plugins can accomplish such as well.

Got it, thanks!

At it's price, and with the higher voltage power supply, I was impressed by the Fosi V3 Amplifier. I think it's a good buy. Now for this pre-amp, I'd be more impressed if it didn't have tubes, and maybe more inputs. Like @lovinthehd there are better ways to EQ than tubes and good pre-amps should be clean and not inherently add their own sound to the signal. I think in Fosi's urgency to cash in on the V3 they missed the mark here.
