Fosi Audio DA2120A Great little amp

I bought this amp for my daughter for Christmas along with a pair of Polk T15 8ohm bookshelf speakers and an Audio Technica turntable. It all sits on a 5ft wide dresser and we didn't want to put the turntable on top of a full size receiver. We have a turntable in the center of the dresser, with speakers at each end of the dresser and an amplifier on the left side of the turntable. The unit appears to be quite solid and well made like the Fosi Audio unit. There's nothing fancy about the remote control, but I have to admit that it works and is easy to use. My only complaint is that the speaker terminals on the back are tightly spaced. I had to be careful stripping the wires, wrapping them tightly and making sure nothing was touching the back. If I had used banana clips this might not have been a problem. If you want to run a turntable, you'll need an RCA aux cable and a turntable with a built-in preamp. With this setting we get great sound from the player. My daughter connected to her iPhone using the Bluetooth on the device within 30 seconds of starting it up and I was impressed with the sound. This bedroom is approximately 15 x 13 and easily fills the room with sound. The amplifier slightly increases the volume of the speakers, which is too loud for the room. There was no sign of clipping or distortion at high volumes. When we use the player with the Aux setting, we get great sound from the device. . It was fun playing a song or album on a turntable and then listening over the bluetooth and hearing the difference. I appreciate the option to add a subwoofer, but it's not really necessary in her room. Total installation cost was less than $500 and could have been less had I gone with a cheaper turntable. Overall we are impressed with the sound and this Fosi amp packs quite a few features and is fully functional at a very reasonable price.
