FR ChiFi
ChiFi stands for “Chinese Hi-Fi” and refers to high-quality audio products that are manufactured by Chinese companies. These products are often noted for their excellent value, providing high-quality audio performance at relatively lower prices compared to well-known brands from other countries.
Steven Stone seeks out more super budget components and emerges with a two-way that does it all, a nifty no-brainer bluetooth adapter, and a small but mighty amp.
“What Dalibor was asking me to do was remove nearly $8000 in equipment from my system, and replace it with a DAC only slightly larger than a deck of cards that retails for $150.”
“I’ve grown to appreciate not only how they function as a company, but also how they manage to produce such remarkably beautiful and functional products that are all essentially hand-built.”
“Why You Could Hate the Budget Component I Love; Warranty Time for a DAC; and the New Vera-Fi Scout Loudspeaker”
“When I discover a component priced well under four figures that performs well, that excites me. Those are the kinds of products that raise the bar for everyone.”
“One of the comments I expected after my first installment on budget components was ‘How much does the Chinese government pay you for these reviews?’”
“Some of the best values pass unnoticed. This series—Steven Stone’s Super Budget Components—will be an attempt to remedy that a bit.”
