I am using this to drive some Polk Audio bookshelf monitors from either a Tascam DP-02 multitrack recorder or a laptop for recording and mixing music. Sound is strong and clear with even frequency response. I am hearing no distortion at high volume, as well as minimal hiss and noise when volume is high but the music source is turned off. I really like that it is small, it plugs into AC directly without a wall-wart, and that it has multiple inputs that are switchable. Overall it exceeds my expectations for an inexpensive mini stereo amplifier.

STRENGTHS: TDA2009A amplifier chip used in this design is good sounding, with good frequency response. Power output is sufficient (5 Watts RMS into 8 Ohms) for use with efficient speakers in small rooms. QUALITY CONTROL: There is a great variance unit to unit and the power supply in some units is a source of noise compromising the musical performance. ISSUES: There is a turn-on POP from speakers in spite of having a relay switched output. The PTA2 has DC offset on output when using Headphones. The front panel Pilot LED is much too bright for use in low light conditions. Treble adjustment does not give flat treble response when at the center detent. The Bass tone controls slightly compromise the 2o-30 Hz. Frequency response. The location of the Anti-oscillation circuitry in this design for the TDA200A chip differs from the IC application note recommendation. Read full review

It's a good buy for the price. Its nothing fancy but has plenty of power to cover a medium sized event with inputs for a microphone and accessories.

For the price this little amp works excellent. Not enough power to drive my large speakers, but I got it for use with my headphones exclusively. I personally like the the balance control, treble, bass and volume control for using headphones. I use with my satellite and cable box to customize the sound to my headphones. The size is perfect it has multiple inputs and outputs. The Sennheiser headphones sound excellent with this little box driving them. Pyle may not be high end equipment but for watching TV, it works very well.

We had one of the amplifiers for many years without a single problem. Will recommend it to anyone needing a low power audio amplifier.

I bought a used Pyle pta2 amp on e bay. The previous owner complained about the scratchiness of the volume and balance controls. So I cleaned up the controls and that thing rocks! It has a nice clean sound to it. Reminds me of my old stereo equipment from college back in the early 70's.

Got this from a very fair seller...deeply discounted. Sold as/is for parts....because it hadn't been tested....I was able to find a very small short....a dab of solder fixed that.... Works excellently.....just what I needed to kick up my computer sound quality and volume.... Great seller....prompt....very well packed I'm a very pleased buyer...
