$100 can buy a lot of things, but can it buy a good pair of speakers for your desktop? I found the Edifier MR4s on Amazon for just over $109 and on eBay for $90, both new direct from the factory.
The Douk Audio ST-01 Pro Tube Amplifier has been all over YouTube this year. It surely seems like a very popular all-in-one amp and a hot brand right now in the Chi-Fi scene. I wasn’t surprised to see it arrive for review.
Security cameras keep advancing at a rapid pace with better resolution, more features, and lower prices. I’ve covered wireless cameras before like the Arlo models, but not cameras that are solar-powered and are cheaper than $70.
The least expensive Bluetooth two-channel amp on Amazon is… drum roll... The Tosicam T200W at $49 before any sales or discounts! When you think of an amplifier priced this low, you’d think it might be poor.
Arylic is always trying something new, and I’ve had the privilege of trying out many of their amps over the last year. Now they finally have a true stereo preamp packed with features for under $100.
SMSL is back with another awesome amplifier, the AO200 MKII Stereo Amplifier. No, this is not the AO300, this is more like a half-model-year car, a minor update to the current AO200.
Aiyima has some interesting affordable desktop components out right now and the T8 Digital Tube Preamplifier is definitely an attention-getter.
When designing the V3 Two-Channel Integrated Amplifier, Fosi Audio tried something a bit different than most Amazon brands, they asked some audiophiles what they wanted in a budget amp.
Aiyima is a pretty well-known affordable hi-fi brand often found on Amazon. I recently got the chance to check out their rather unique-looking A08 Pro Integrated Amplifier.
Art for the eyes and ears, Campfire Audio’s Solaris Stellar Horizon sets a new bar for in-ear monitors. They set out to fully re-envision the classic IEM, elevating sound and design alike to create something entirely new and dynamic. While at the same time sticking to what makes Campfire Audio, Campfire Audio.
Welcome to a new era of audio excellence with the Arylic B50 Bluetooth Stereo Amplifier and its “Swiss Army Knife” of features.
Andover Audio has just released its all-new SpinBase MAX Turntable Speaker. It’s an unusual product as it is a Bluetooth speaker specifically designed to support a turntable on top. It’s also the new and improved version from the original Spinbase that was released a few years back.
Affordable powered desktop speakers abound everywhere, but it’s often hard to find a good model that has plenty of features and most importantly good sound for under $100
Desktop audio has really been heating up over the past few years and brands like SMSL are now able to bridge the gap between desktop and two-channel setups with compact and incredibly feature-rich designs like the DO300 DAC.
I’ve recently been on a Schiit buying spree, having just purchased and reviewed the Magni Heretic Headphone Amplifier. When I went looking for a small and affordable desktop amp, I saw the Rekkr so I had to pick one up.
