Review on 🔊 Lepy LP-2024A-HA LP-2024A+ Hi-Fi Audio Stereo Power Amplifier Car Amplifier, 3A Power Supply: Enhanced Music Experience on the Go! by Cedric Edwards

I bought this amp because it was advertised (on the website, on the box and on the case itself) as a 2x20w amp and was identical in appearance to the Lepai LP-2020A+ that the I bought last year but now sold out. When plugged in for comparison, the sound began to distort at a lower volume than the 2020A. Then I noticed that they use different chipsets (Tripath TA2024 and TA2020) so I searched the web for datasheets. These sheets showed that the TA2024 is only 15 watts per channel into 4 ohms, while the TA2020 can deliver 22 watts into 4 ohms at the same distortion levels. I wanted those few extra watts in my application, especially when they're almost the same price. This device is suitable for undemanding applications, but I deduct stars because of false advertising and the often cited poor power supply. I returned this block and Revain processed the return in their usual exceptional manner. Now I've found a Lepy LP-2020A+ that says it uses a Tripath TA2020 chip so I've ordered it and hope for the best. Surprisingly the price was the same as the Lepy LP-2024A+!
