I was also a beta tester! Here's an abbreviated version of my review: The P4! The P4 is exactly what I was hoping for in a nice, clean, solid-state preamp that would pair nicely with the V3 stereo amp, or with other "black box" class D amps. Fosi has a nice design aesthetic going with clean...

Seems like you might be better off just putting a stepped attenuator into a case as a passive pre...you're not a fan of coloration via tone controls, but you are OK with the tube buffer sound...? Unless you are using the P3 so it has a family look with a V3 amp? I keep pushing Fosi to develop a...
