Review on 🔊 Lepy LP-2020A Stereo HiFi Digital Audio Car Auto Motor Power Amplifier: Unleash High-Quality Sound by Luca Washington

First I have to clear up a misunderstanding. People talk about 20 watts as low power, cheap and not enough. Hi-Fi flourished in the 70's and 80's. Pioneer was the most popular manufacturer of receivers. They were big, heavy and powerful speakers. I think people forget they were only 15 watts. Most of your listening experience is under ONE watt RMS. The difference was they had massive transformers and massive capacitors to drive the spikes. Electronics today are much smaller and more efficient. For less than $20, you can replace that useless wall wart that Lepy contains with a 12V 5A power supply that eliminates clipping and muting at high volumes. I did this. ASIN B01461MOGQ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01461MOGQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Lepi also likes high input levels. The Fosi DAC (ASIN B07VDQQY95) was originally purchased as a headphone amp but goes well with the Lepy. The photo shows a version of the Texas Instruments Tripath chip (TPA3118). I've been using it for 2 years now and I LOVE it! But the recent renovation of my office forced me to move the amp and speakers. At the same time 2 speaker clips broke. This amp is currently on hold so I bought the Tripath version as a backup while I upgrade my old Lepy. However, they didn't send what I ordered! They sent another class D. I'm not complaining. I really wanted that anyway. I will replace the spring clips with the original Lepa ones. The TI chip also runs on 12 to 24 volts. At 24V, the chip delivers 50W per channel, but requires a heatsink. Another misconception is that Lepy is a cheap Chinese imitation. Check out Kinter's reviews for bad solder joints, misaligned components, and poor quality components. Original Lepai reviews show mismatched screws, misaligned case components, and poor quality components. Lepy may be a Chinese replica, but China is the world leader in manufacturing. They are very well done! Many of the problems listed here can be solved simply by upgrading the power supply. And you get a $50 audiophile quality amp that fits in the palm of your hand! For those with static or noise, you have a bad block that should be replaced. If you want to try and fix it yourself, grab a can of DeoxIT Fader. Make sure it's a fader as it contains fat. Open the amp and gently press the volume and tone controls, turning each of them back and forth several times. This should fix it. If you need to buy DeoxIT, get 2 packs which contain regular contact cleaner and fader. You will find dozens of uses for them.
