Review: Absolutely Amazing. This company knows... - What a great product! My old preamp was creating feedback at about half volume. I basically stopped playing vinyl because of this. Sure, it was half the price of this but there's a reason why. My albums sound pure with zero feedback. I really like to be able to adjust base and treble settings as well as the input volume. It did take me a while to tweak the settings between my receivers inputs in an effort to find which one worked best for my system. I don't have an RCA phono input which creates a problem. There's very few RCA inputs in today's receivers, specifically the Denon that I have. Very heavy on multiple HDMI inputs. The one that actually worked best for me was the Blu-ray RCA input. Hope that helps someone. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this preamp. It does what it's supposed to do and it does it in spades. I really like the on/off switch on top of the unit. It's very well laid out and very well thought out. For the price, you just can't go wrong. It's also very pretty to look at...
Review: Excellent upgrade for my Akai Professional - Absolutely a game changer. I tried a similar product that would only work via USB to my turntable, and immediately returned it due to an even lower sound platform. This pre-amp nothing sounds excellent with Independent bass, treble and volume controls, it also looks fantastic with the ability to change the tune lights from orange to green. In my opinion this is well worth the price if you are a mid-tier vinyl fan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ampapa nails it on the head
*by D***D on March 30, 2025*

I bought this to power dual mono block fosi V3s from my old Kenwood turntable into large Advent bullnose speakers. It sounded horrible. I only listen to vinyl, so I hoped this would be a very clean and direct method for improved sound quality. The mid range was too boosted and the entire sound was tinny...horrible! I plugged the Ampapa A1 into my Kenwood KA-7100 integrated amp and I couldn't believe how good it sounded. The bass response is a gigantic improvement, sound stage is wide and sometimes unbelievably amazing (Pink Floyd DSOTM), and is a huge boost in clarity. I send the mono blocks back and kept the Ampapa. I am listening to my entire catalog again as it is so improved. I love the LED function. It adds a bit of zest to my vintage look without overpowering it. The bass, treble and volume controls are very high quality with noticable effect. The whole package is perfect!! If you are in a similarw situation of wanting an improved phono preamp, do yourself a favor and buy this. My previous phono stage in the Kenwood was very good, by the way, but this blows it away.
