Flux Lab Acoustics FA-10, FA-10 Pro, FA-12, FCN-10 & FA-12s Amplifiers - Summit-Fi for the People?: Reviews, Impressions & Discussion
Jun 15, 2020 at 6:09 AM Post #166 of 2,598
In chatting with Flux Labs they seemed confident that FA-12 was powerful enough for Argons and they were definitely pushing me towards the FA-12. Thinking we need quantify the difference between these two amps. It's clear the FA-10 is more transparent (more power) while the FA-12 is pleasantly colored. Maybe we need to find and join a Russian forum?
What Russian forum that you speak of ?

Yes, can tell the FA-12 able to push Argons. Give you a thicker, more bodied sound and also power sufficient.

I wonder how does the FA-10 compete with the Volot then........
We will see once it comes out in the market. If they had it available at the same time then I might have gone with Volot although the difference in sound won’t be as much as to justify the price difference between the two. Also Flux is kind of unknown to me so better to take less risk 750 vs 3k

Hi it is funny ! So why you go for FA-12 ?
Nothing like like a balanced Class A amp, so its got to be the FA-12, I love tubes too but I grew up in a recording studio surrounded by Class A gear and it was always my favorite with the exception of mixed Class A and Tube. I don't care about distortion whatsoever, so perhaps I am not a true audiophile but Class A done right is really a lot of fun.

Then why FA-12 over FA-10 ? If you are talking about value, the FA-12 is competing with the Rebel Class A Amp (The green amplifier).

FA-12S is the direct competitor for the Rebel Amp but we do not know much about that yet, but to be honest the Rebel is really interesting as well and its great to see products coming out that have strong character.

Just remember that Ukraine is not Russia, k? (And official language in Ukraine is Ukrainian which is not Russian)
And AFAIK, they've just started production fairly recently there isn't much in terms of reviews of the amps, they are waiting for people to post in different forums so you might or might not find it in a Russian language forum.
Regarding Volot, they told me it should be out soon enough. (So yeah, it's not out just yet).

i am more interested in the fa-12s cause of the form factor and probably verstile usage between headphone and iems
