Review on 🎡 Pyle Phono Turntable Preamp - Mini Electronic Audio Stereo Phonograph Preamplifier with 9V Battery Compartment, Separate DC 12V Power Adapter, RCA Input, RCA Output & Low Noise Operation (PP555) - BLACK by Isaac Maze

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor performance of the device, the replacement cost exceeds the cost of the original device.

BUY SOMETHING BETTER. When I first received this product it worked great and sounded good. However, only after the 2nd or 3rd use of this product did one of the sockets stop working. I ran the cables and was able to determine that the preamp was the source of the problem. After checking the warranty I thought i would see if it could be sent back. However, Pyle's warranty requires that $15 be included in the return shipping (plus I have to pay for shipping etc.), so, after all, it's a lot cheaper to just buy a new one than to see if my current unit gets fixed /can be replaced. In short, I strongly recommend simply buying a more expensive device with more reliability. Upon further testing, the output will ALWAYS turn off after approximately 5 minutes of use. As if the circuit would overheat. In short, I strongly recommend simply buying a more expensive device with more reliability.
