Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this pre amp to try as a second one against my music hall mini. I have 7 different tables and and two different setups so I have a good comparison. I wanted to have both my tables connected to switch between easily and this was cheap. It does work. But the sound quality is lacking despite its specs. The highs are cut off and muted in comparison to the music hall. The quality is greatly diminished and doesn’t do the vynil justice. The grounding lug is so tight that you have to turn it by wrench. I am disappointed and will use it for now until I can get another music hall.

Plug and play. Very easy to use and works great. Would definitely recommend!

Low priced pre-amp. Easy installation. I installed it between a Stanton turntable and Marantz amplifier. It brought up the sound to line level without any background buzzing interference. It is a reasonably priced and simple solution to keep older audio equipment functional.

I am satisfied with the purchase of this pre-amp. It's not top of the line but it takes care of my needs. I replaced an old Heathkit preamp that was from the 80's and has analog controls that have worn out. Worth it if you have a tight budget and still want quality sound. I would recommend this pre-amp if asked about it. I am listening to it as I write this review.

Discovered when hooking up a new receiver that it did not contain an amplifier for my turntable like the previous model. The solution was to order this part that interfaces between the turntable and the receiver. Not happy to have an added piece of equipment, no matter how small, but it works well and I can once again listen to my 45's and 33's.

My old receiver does not have a phono input. I inherited a older turntable that does not have power. When I used the 'tape' input for the turntable, the volume was super low. With this amp in between, it all works great together. This was an inexpensive way to solve the my problem.

I wanted to get something inexpensive just to play records for my Sonos system. This worked great. I would have given it 5 stars if it had a power button.

It worked well for the price. Easy to connect and allowed me to use the Dual Turntable I had recently acquired to my Yamaha amp. Neither had a pre-amp. There was a slight hum at higher volume that wasn't noticeable to me when the music was playing.

I had just brought a receiver for a 40 year old turntable that I had. The new receiver would automatically lower the volume due to temperature increase. The preamp helped with this problem. The PylePro ultracompact preamp is small and easy to connect up and use.

Great Product! I thought I needed to spend a few hundred dollars on a new record player, however, turns out I only needed this small (and inexpensive) phono pre amp. Was easy to install and works perfectly. Thanks!

I like that it’s small. Hooked up my turntable plugged it in and works well. It’s always on. I would’ve liked it to go on and off with my turntable. Don’t know how long it will last being on all the time.

Inexpensive, effective, and easy to install and use. What else is there to say? Oh ya, work well with just the 9v battery option, but can also be plugged in.

This thing makes my old LPs sound like gold. It was easy to plug in and get working.

Really nice price and it even works. Probably not for the audiophile but it gets the job done. Beyond easy plug and play installation.

I am glad I found this product. It is simple to use, the price is right, and it fixed my issue. I have a modern amplifier with a phono imput but there is no preamp for the phono imput. When you hookup the turntable to the home theater phono imput there is no volume, this did the trick from turntable to receiver. Now I have another way to play my LPs thru a more modern devise.

I cam a casual user of my LP collection, most of which are over 40 years old and some are over 60 years old. My turntable is 45 years old. For the price (<$25), I am very pleased with the performance of this device so far. In my opinion, between the basic fidelity quality of this device and the various sound settings on my Yamaha receiver, I expect a quite satisfactory overall performance of my LP's.

Easy to use , turntable sound great after hook up, pile awesome

Ours is hooked up to a turntable and a very simple Bose radio. It works exactly as required. Without it, I could not get the turntable to power the speakers on the radio at all with it it works great.

It was very easy to set up and worked right from the start. The price was fair.

Upgraded my old receiver to include my surround sound speakers and still use my turntable so I needed to add this. Very simple to add along with a ground wire.
