Review on 🔊 IBoost 800: Top-notch Stereo Line Level Audio Amplifier Booster Amp for MP3, iPod, iPad, iPhone by Paul Sanchez

When my cable company upgraded their cable boxes, the new ones didn't have the line outs I used to use for my self-powered speakers in my basement gym. I was forced to use the TV's digital optical output. Since the speakers didn't have optical inputs, I had to use a 3.18mm optical-to-analog converter. Unfortunately, it turned out that there was a large drop in performance due to the converter. I had to crank the speakers all the way up to get enough volume. I came across this article that claims to offer 20dB of gain. I inserted it between the transducer and the speakers, which was easy given the inputs and outputs available on this unit. Now I have enough volume with this setting. The amp seemed a bit pricey, but I've learned from previous electronic purchases that you often get what you pay for. This device appears to be made to high quality standards and works well.
