I bought this ZK-MT21 for $13 USD when my Polk subwoofer blew up. It uses the same chip as the rather famous Fosi 30D - but a simpler box - and costs a quarter of the price.
My Yamaha Receiver also has died - itās a bad month. I wonāt tell you
how that happened...
I was impressed with how it ran the subwoofer, and hooked it up to my main speakers - but my son paired up bluetooth and played music whilst my Yamaha Receiver was still turned on 
Anyway, just to let you know - this thing is now driving my Monitor Audio Bronze 2 speakers plus the Polk Subwoofer upstairs, and Iāve another 2x50W version (just $6 for that one) downstairs to drive my B&Wās.
Bluetooth 5, works well - window rattling power from a 19V laptop PSU (I use an old Asus) and with less power from an old Sony Bluetooth player PSU (rather modest volumes for that one)ā¦
Class D amplifiers do HiFi quite nicely - wherever I go with my laptop/tablet/phone 
all my speakers are now active bluetooth now.

Yep Class D amps a fine but a bit bass light compared to class B but it could be the later is coloured in the bass?.
Not any more for sure, bass is smooth at least down to 28Hz on my boxes - Iām genuinely shocked thinking it would only be good as a limited subwoofer amplifier.
So you are super human and can hear if a 28hz tone is within 1db at 28hz. Lol. I did not even say the bass was bad i said it feels bass light meaning it is different to analog produced sound that could be its cleaner you know its only a cheap amp cant be compared to the best not even against other class D amps. the bass is not as powerful in delivery from the Fosi 20A as my Yamaha 1000, (through Ruark speakers old but top flight if a bit power hungry) nor is it as clean or musical but still is better than most analog amps that is for sure and so small. very impressive for the money mind you.
I was looking for a sound bar for the TV. I didnāt find anything I liked. I ended up with this:
The S.M.S.L AD18 is a very compact Class D amplifier and works very well in this application.
I have been happy with this setup since I installed it. I got all three components from Prime Day sale, so it only cost me a little more than the sound bar I had liked most.

Been a while since Iāve posted here, heck I took a couple months off and used my phone rather than a computer since it almost does everything I wantā¦ almost.
So, been a lot of purchases, but Iām only going to share a few, starting with
The laptop stand came in yesterday, it reduces clutter on the desktop by doubling as a phone and tablet stand. The computer (Lenovo FLEX5 5300U/8/256/14HST) I got about a month ago, and the keyboard a few weeks before that. Love the computer, running Gnome, and most features are working, and those that donāt are mostly a matter of me not making the effort to get them working. I might possibly get around to writing a review and posting it on my blog some day.
Another purchase is because itās Halloweenā¦
Another inflatable, saw the dinosaur and couldnāt resist ordering it. Can you tell that I enjoy Halloween?

This: 725ml for Ā£1.70! Thatās almost the same size as a bottle of wine. Absolute bargain in the UK. Lots of tasty Asian cooking to be done. My last bottle was only 250ml for about Ā£2.50. Yum!

I have this exact bottle, I canāt figure out anything to use it for other than Thai chicken over rice. Its been in the cupboard ever since. Any recipes you plan to make with this?
Well basically speaking Fish Sauce is a bit like Soy Sauce, itās salty with a bit more flavour and aroma. In Japan and China they use Soy Sauce but in Thailand and Vietnam and some other East Asian countries they also use Fish Sauce as well as Shrimp Paste and other things to add to flavour. Itās not a case of recipes, itās more a case of experimenting. Fish Sauce has a strong aroma though. You can add it as a condiment but if you donāt like the smell then you can add it earlier to cook it in and avoid that.
I donāt really follow recipes anymore, Iāve been cooking all my life. I suggest a bit of research online. There are plenty of good ideas out there, but once you get comfortable with what ingredients can do then you donāt need specific recipes anymore. Itās a journey. All I would add to that is donāt add friends round to a dinner party until you are happy with what works and what doesnāt!

Adding this as a condiment is a nono for me, the smell makes me wanna throw up. But cooked, wow, its like sweet and salty at the same time, tastes amazing. Iām chinese and soy sauce is a staple in my household because I do all the cooking at home (my wife doesnāt cook), but fish sauce I hardly touch, maybe I should experiment a little like you said.

Glad you liked it! Another thing worth checking out is Spanish Smoked Paprika. It really needs to be the one from the Vera Region if you can get it. It adds a very special smokiness to almost anything. Itās really quite addictive. You can either cook with it or add it like a sprinkle like pepper. Itās like a better barbecue seasoning or like the smokiness from smoked bacon, except without the meat or obviously the texture. I recommend the sweet version, not the hot one. You can always add chilli heat through other sauces/powders.
i wholeheartedly agree with this, thatās how cooking works.
I went about this the other way around: Iāve invited friends to play around with ingredients. everyone got to mix and match a small numer of ingredients out of a large choice. then we all sat and ate, trying out every dish and deciding for our selves what we like best. we called them cooking sessions. after gathering and deciding for a theme (asian cuisine, mexican, etc), we would make a shopping list and go shopping together. sometimes we would spin a globe to see what theme we would choose.
