 Rediscover great sounding music November 1, 2009

I just picked up much of the original Beatles collection on vinyl at an estate sale and dug out my turntable, with Audio Technica AT91E cartridge. My Sony integrated amp/receiver did not have a phono input. Reading the reviews here on Amazon, I decided to order this preamp. The first listen to Sgt. Pepper was glorious! I have fallen in love with music again. Records have dynamics. CDs are highly compressed. This preamp sounds awesome.
I also tested a 1980's Kenwood receiver that had a phono input. I connected the Pyle phono preamp to the line input and did an A/B test between the Kenwood's phono section and the Pyle. The Pyle won. It had better frequency response, wider image and was more organic sounding. The output of the Pyle matched the line level input of the Kenwood but sounded a little low on my nicer Sony amp. So, the complaints below of low output level may be dependent on the amp used. There was no noticeable hum or noise. The included "wall wart" 12VDC supply is not regulated. Unloaded, in measures over 15 volts. I may build a nicer supply for it but, I digress...
The only negative I can give it is that the RCA jacks were slightly tarnished. The unit I received may have sat on a shelf for a long time. Still, it worked flawlessly. A ground wire attachment point would have been nice but I easily connected the turntable ground wire to the ground on my receiver.
If you want to rediscover the great sound of records, the Pyle Phono Preamp will get you there. I recommend it.

This pre-amp device installed easily, without a ground wire, and worked perfectly. The specs didn't tout an RIAA Equalization capability but I figured it must have one or else it couldn't be a phono pre-amp. Apparently it does as the sound on the DVD is just like the LP, except better as I used Magix Audio Cleaning Lab to clean up the LP noise. Buy one in confidence. (You can get a 15-day free trial of Magix Audio Cleaning Lab software that is extendible for another 30 days.)
Re-living LP's! September 10, 2009
Mark J. Hess (Blackwood, NJ)
I was very skeptical that this was going to work. I dug up my old turntable and wanted to play some old albums through my new home theater system. When the sound was barely audible even when the volume was turned all the way up, I looked onto the internet for some help. I came across this product and decided for 20 bucks, I'd give it a shot. At first I was disappointed because I couldn't get the "buzzing" to go away. But a little more help from the internet and I found out that I needed the old "ground" wire plugged in the turntable. And "Voila!" - instant gratification. It is great to listen to the old albums I grew up on.

For the price it's ok. Even when grounded to unit, there's light rumble generated via the amp. Software didn't remedy it completely. You get a serviceable unit at a cheap price and that's it.
Works Great ! September 3, 2009

The sound is great, even turned up all the way and there is plenty of volume. It plugs in easily with in and out RCA jacks and I put turntable ground wire conveniently on one of the PP-999 case screws to eliminate that buzzing noise. I'm using a boom box as my amp with the aux input jack. You can play your old vinyl or transfer them to a PC and Ipod. I never thought that at this price I'd get such a great product but it's true the PP-999 Pyle Pro is everything you need to bring that old vinyl back to life.
