16. Can you hook a subwoofer to this unit?

• Yes, if your subwoofer is powered, you can connect the BOX  
  X3 directly to the subwoofer, but you need add a sub amplifier 
  between the BOX X3 and the subwoofer if your subwoofer is 
  passive subwoofer.

17.Which vacuum tube can be replaced to the BOX X3?

• If necessary, tubes below are substituttions: 
  6K4/6J1/6J4/GE5654/6AK5/66*In vacuum tubes, etc. You can 
  replace the vacuum tubes to DIY your stereo system.

18. Sound quality is not good?

• Make sure all the cables are fully connected.
• Adjust the treble and bass of the BOX X3 to achieve the right 
  tone.
• Please try to change the sound source and cables to test.

19. Can it be left on all the time?

• The BOX X3 is designed with a power switch. It can stay 
  connected safely without power consumption all the time, you 
  only need to turn off the power switch on the BOX X3.

20. Why the BOX X3 came with a broken vacuum tube?

• Due to long-distance transportation, the vacuum tube may be 
  damaged during transportation. If you find that the vacuum 
  tube is damaged or other problems, please contact Fosi Audio 
  after-sales email immediately, and we will replace the vacuum 
  tube for you.

9. How to attach ground wire?

• There is a post to attach the ground wire.

10. Is the gain enough to support MC cartridge?

• No. It is for MM cartridge.

11. My turntable has a selectable built-in phono preamp     
      or switch to the line. Can I still use this instead of 
      my built-in pre-amp?

• Yes, deselect the preamp on your turntable.

12. Can I hook the BOX X3 to the power amplifier for my 
      system?

• Yes. You can connect the BOX X3 to the power amplifier 
  through the RCA output.

13. Can this work with my turntable and headphones?

• No, it’s not design for headphones, and the 3.5mm AUX 
  connector on the front panel of the amplifier is input, not 
  output.

14. Can I directly connect this phono preamp to the 
      speakers?

 

• If your speakers are powered speakers, you can directly 
  connect this preamp to the speakers. But you need to add an 
  amplifier or receiver to the passive speakers.

15. What equalization is incorporated in this preamp? 

• RIAA equalization.
