Phono Turntable Preamp, Phonograph Preamplifier with RCA Input, RCA/TRS Output, Phono Preamp for Turntable Record Play with 12 Volt DC Adapter

It was exactly what we needed. Our old receiver had a preamp built in. We had to replace it & the new one didn't have one. This part made us be able to play the turntable through the receiver & have sound to the speakers.

Works like it says

For a cheap pre-amp, it does the job well.

I’m using this in line with my soundbar’s sub output (which had a very weak signal). It worked nicely to boost the audio signal so the sub now works as it should.We use our soundbar for movies, but often just for streaming music too (Bluetooth, Pandora, etc). Unfortunately, the soundbar’s sub output was super weak.Before, my soundbar’s sub output signal was so weak, it often wouldn’t even turn the subwoofer on (it’s an auto-on subwoofer that powers on when it senses an audio signal). And when it worked, the sub signal was so weak, it sounded like there was no subwoofer at all, even when the subwoofer’s volume was all the way up. You had to get right next to it to even know it was doing anything.Putting this in line between my soundbar’s RCA output and my subwoofer’s RCA input boosted the signal perfectly so I can now hear the subwoofer nicely. The volume knob on the subwoofer now will go from relatively quiet to full dance party mode.I had no issues with the “hum” that others have mentioned. It’s as quiet as can be, and I don’t even have the optional ground wire hooked up. It does have a ground wire connection on it, so connecting that to the chassis of your stereo, turntable, subwoofer, etc, would likely eliminate much of the hum people have mentioned (I’ve had hum issues on my other stereo and a ground wire connecting all the audio components’ chassis together solved it).I’d definitely recommend this if your system is sending a low level signal to another component that just doesn’t have enough uumph to get the audio levels that it should be getting.

The one I received was defective (channels cut out intermittently) so I immediately returned it. It appeared to have been returned previously by another customer (who perhaps had the same issue).

It works the way it should and for the price you cannot go wrong. I would recommend it.

The pre amp worked perfectly right out of the box. I was listening to music within a few minutes of opening the package.
