I’ve bought two pieces of this product for my friend and I, hoping we could revive our old albums.
We both tried to connect this pre-amp (cheap, no manual) to the 21st century amps – but nothing worked.
Connecting the turntable straight to the amp gave a better result (which was quite bad).
I wouldn’t recommend it all.

The sound out of this pre amp sounded terrible from my record player. I returned this product and bought the ART DJ Pre II Phono Preamp and it sounded fine. I am not sure why things sounded bad. It could be that this device has no ground.

Pyle Phono pre amp purchased & REFUNDED thru Amazon. Used with the Xitel Inport Deluxe software to covert my vinyl LP’s to CD. The pre amp worked for about one hour. The software is easy to use. I recommend a better & more expensive pre amp. I am trying another phono pre amp, DJ PreII by ARTcessories ($45), seems like a nice unit with gain control, signal/clip LED, analog switch between 100pf & 200pf and low cut filter.

Manufacturer’s installation instructions were non-existent! I had to spend an awful long time finding something via helpful websites. Also, you’ll need a pair RCA Y plugs to make connections from amplifier’s cassette record output to preamp, and turntable! (I believe there are more ways to make connections but this choice made the cut for me.) If you’re a novice, go to a place where musicians shop or an high-end audio/visual store for advice. I also purchased Xitel’s product, Inport Deluxe–Hi Fi to PC which didn’t help me with pre-amp install either, though they recommend getting one if you’re going to record from a turntable. Well,
One LP down: Bill Withers, “+justments,”) and 100s more to go…. Next? …I dunno, maybe, Chuck Mangione, “Bellavia”… or Morgana King, “God Bless the Child”… or “Carmen McCrae at the Great American Music Hall”… or Marvin Gaye, “Here My Dear”… or Harry Belafonte at Carnegie… or…Kahlil Gibran, “The Prophet” (read by Richard Harris), or… Ahhhh… what bliss awaits me! Have FUN!!

Bought this product looking for a simple way to connect my turntable to my new receiver (which, as with most receivers these days, lacks a phono input jack) and to my PC soundcard so that I could digitize vinyl tracks….
From first connection, experienced a steady hum in one of the channels…after trying several different RCA cables and input/output combinations, I narrowed the problem down to the pre-amp’s left channel output. Obviously something wrong with the circuitry.
Returned to Amazon for full refund…..have no idea whether this was a fluke or if this is simply a bad product, but decided to figure out another solution (dug an old mixer out of the closet, and now run the turntable through that — a bit excessive for what I need to do, but works just fine)
