British Hi-Fi that's WORTH the HYPE? Fell Audio Review

AVForums Hi-Fi Editor Ed Selley reviews the brand new British-made Hi-Fi from newcomers Fell Audio. Released to fill in a gap in the market for quality affordable Hi-Fi products, the Fell Amp and Fell CD Player are the first products from retailer Peter Tyson's audio brand, but are they any good?

Just purchased myself the Naim ndx2 from Peter Tyson today at a great price...
They really are a fantastic retailer with second to none customer service!

[MohsinWadee]

I like the fact the amp mutes on startup - you protect your hearing and your speakers that way. Not a problem for me at all.

[sgtgrash]

I really do like the styling of these products, I'm getting strong Naim vibes...

As a repairer what I'd like to know does it follow the old British tradition of being repair friendly

[dangeorgecommunications]

A really informative video, thank you. The world's most affordable British-made CD and amp combo by all accounts.

Both the amp and the CD player house a ESS ES9018K2M DAC. If you're going to pair the two, did Fell Audio miss the chance of making a CD transport and price the CD player down, or invest in a better CD reader? Just a thought.

I think the 3 pin IEC plug is worth a shout too. More grip snd stability.

There's an A&R A60-ish vibe to the Fell gear.

Yesterday we were in HMV - Exeter.
One student selected & purchased 4 cds including One Direction 🎶

I actually feel cd is making a comeback, cd sales are up and there’s loads of new models coming out, I tried an expensive server streamer and didn’t like it. Bought a new cd player and sold the Melco. I love cd and buy loads. Even bought extra replacement laser mechanisms for it.

Have you ever tested a Tom Evans Pre-Amp?

[not_a_goth]

If the amp is supposed to be entry level, then I hope one day they come out with a mid level model with glowing green vu meters!

[adrianconti]

I’m not in the UK, but is this really a product we need, I would be saving more money for a Cambridge Audio CXA61 or for a Rega Brio, I just don’t see a market for these, competition is always a good thing!

[sbatty]

A good start for the brand. I'm holding off until the range expsnds.

[theaudiosenseinl]

This is the first time i heard someone say this type of player being an inhaler CD player. Slot loading, yes. But an inhaler? ;-)

[andrewhaines]

Ah. Like Cambridge Audio is to Richer Sounds! Unfortunately, I won't go near CA as I had a full system of separates and they all failed, amp, 2 x cd players and DAB radio kept dropping signal or just cutting out completely. I wish them well, but it's not an easy market to get into. They need plenty of reviews and testing to make a lasting impact on the market.

Hi, great video, I have Rotel a11 tribute although it didn’t have digital other than Bluetooth but pretty good amp, i like the upgrade version has dac buts it missing sub o/put that put me off . Great they bought out A8 tho .regards mark

[Bonafidecripple]

I just "fell” in love with these products 😂

[Markymarkvinylnut]

Hopefully we'll see Fell at the 2025 Bristol Hifi show?

[AitchAitch]

Why did Fell not make it a CD transport instead, seems you are buying the DAC twice if you pair the CD and Amp which they clearly want you to do.
