Lepy Amplifiers Audio Component Amplifier, Black (LP-2020A Class-D) & Amazon Basics SW100ft 16-Gauge Speaker Wire - 100 Feet

I have a 40-year-old amp with the original TA2020 chip. It was never a bad little amp. Purists threw a fit when Texas Instruments bought the rights and "modified" it. Check out the reviews and you'll see people that have the new TI version love it. They did improve the sound. I also purchased a LEHOU 6 amp power supply. This is the great little amp that could. This is perfect for a dorm, apartment, workshop, office, etc.. Pair this with a set of Micca speakers and you'll be surprised. Connect a Bluetooth receiver and you'll have a tiny system that rivals a full-size stereo. Hide it on a bookshelf and amaze your friends. You can even mount the amp on a wall or under a shelf. As for the blue LED's surrounding the volume knob, perhaps Lepy listened. Mine has a gentle blue glow that's very pleasing, not bright at all. I have this little amp and 4" Micca speakers on a bookshelf in my office. When I crank it up it sounds great throughout the house! You'd NEVER believe the system is this small! The little Micca speakers have bass that rivals 8" drivers. The Leppy amp is not 100 watts, but you'd really never know. It sounds very clear and natural. The bass is strong but not boomy. The highs are crystal clear. Even at full power, it does not distort. My intent was and still is, to restore my 40-year-old vintage amp. But this really has me questioning that decision. I'm very impressed with this little Lepy.Advantages of the replacement power supply: The longer cord is nice, and it's like a laptop supply. No transformer plug. I hid the supply under a shelf. The power supply itself isn't breaking a sweat. It's completely cool to the touch. The Lepy has the additional power it needs for punchy bass.***UPDATE*** I restored my 40-year-old vintage receiver to good as new. The problem is, it took a week or so to the stuff I needed. During that time I had everything playing on this little Lepy. It was so smooth, balanced, natural, warm, and clear. The sound just got better and better. Now I've got a big, expensive, powerful receiver that can deliver everything the Micca speakers need... and it sounds like crap! At first, I thought the speakers came alive with this receiver. Now I think perhaps they were just screaming in pain. The sound quality of this little Lepy is just as amazing as the Micca speakers. They're a match made in Amazon heaven. Well, I guess the good news is, the old receiver is heavy! It has a gigantic transformer inside that must contain miles of copper. The payout for the scrap at the recycling plant will more than pay for the Lepy. Then again, you could easily dig enough change out of your couch cushions to pay for the Lepy! Trust me, if you're even THINKING of putting together a new sound system, GET THIS! Pair it with a $50 pair of Micca MB42 bookshelf speakers. Play it for a week. If you don't absolutely LOVE it you can flame me here and on my website day and night. I'm that confident you'll say it was the best $85 you ever spent. $24 for the Lepy and $11 for the upgraded power supply, plus $50 for the speakers... current prices as of the time of this review.Update 7/28/20: The original purchase date was 7/29/2018, so we are just about 2 years to the day when my beloved Lepy broke. It still works, kind of, if I don't touch the wires. I rearranged my office. My speakers are no longer on shelves on the back wall of my office. I bought floor stands and placed them behind my desk. The Lepy is on my desk. In the process, one of the speaker clips broke. I managed to put it back together, but it's not right. My Fosi DAC/Headphone Amp is on top of the Lepy, but the wires were pulling it down it the back. I put a couple of strips of double-sided foam tape to secure the units together. In the process, ANOTHER speaker clip broke. I found the spring but not the clip. I finally found the clip and lost the spring! in the interim, I just twisted a couple of pieces of speaker wire together and jammed it in! It's working as long as I don't move anything. Now I'm torn. Do I buy another Lepy, which has served me well for 2 years? It's inexpensive and sounds amazing. Don't let the bad reviews fool you. The Texas Instruments TPA3118 chip is the "improved" version of the TriPath 2020A. Anyone who says "not even close" has no clue what they're talking about. And 20 watts in its day WAS a power-house. Most amps were 15 watts. Want to bump it up to 50x2? Attach a heat-sink to the chip and use a 24-volt power supply. Or, do I go with the FOSI 100x2 using the TPA3116 chips? It's still the same TriPath family. I don't need the extra power but the Fosi has banana posts that will never break. No, I love the Lepy. I'll buy another AND repair/upgrade this one with a heatsink, power supply, and new spring clip block. I'll also have extra parts up upgrade the new one too. It'll go on the patio with a Bluetooth receiver and a pair of Polk Atriums when we get a pool or in the RV.

While sound quality is a little underwhelming it could just be my system,great over all

Cheap amp to use with some bookshelf speakers. Worked for a year. After moving the unit and trying to reconnect wires the plastic clips either sprung off unit or no longer held wires.

So we had a Radio, CD player, and AUX unit that finally died after 35 years! The brand was TEAC ... so it was a machine of pure quality. And to last for four decades (and several moves, getting banged around), hey, for $79 it served us well. That said, when the AUX feature quit working, we no longer had a way to play Sirius XM radio over my 50+ years old JBL air-suspension speakers (they're still AWESOME). So I ordered this unit, only needing an amplifier to plug my JBL's into ... and this unit ... I tell ya ... from the minute I hooked it up (which is brainless to do) and turned it on ... well, my JBL's have never sound richer, deeper, more full than ever ... just like when I first got them! It's a booming, solid, absolutely PERFECT sound ... you couldn't ask for more. And I know some of the reviews complained about not enough watts, but, hey, these are perfect ... and at full/fool blast, the sound rattles the windows. What more could you need? Buy this if you don't care about having a radio or CD player or AUX connection. You just hook one thing into this. That's it and it is PERFECTION!

one of the speaker connector failed on one of the units. I have four of them. I am an engineer and tech so I was able to fix it. it was a mechanical failure, the tension spring popped out.

I needed an amp for my record player to power the speakers. It works great, looks nice, the wattage was great for what I needed. All in all satisfied with the purchase.

I bought this (among other reasons) because it had mounting holes I could use to mount on the underside of my desk for some ancient 6 ohm speaks I have. I use it for my computer audio and to listen to some music while I'm working. In those roles, it excels. I ran < 50% volume in "direct" mode and it does what I want.Switching it to "tone" mode (so the treble/bass controls work) has a negative effect on overall volume levels, so I leave it off. Plus, I really couldn't tell that much of a difference. I'd rather have better EQ control through software in any case.Now, if I wanted to drive large speakers or run at really high volumes I would have been rather disappointed. But as something to listen to at my desk it does a great job and the easy access to the controls (without taking any desk space) is a big win.

Amp failed after a few months due to overheating of chip. Ordered adhesive-mounted heatsink from eBay for about $1.50 and amp works solidly. One might ask why the manufacturer didn't do this originally. A penny saved?Hence, the three stars.I'm using it to power bookshelf speakers for a flatscreen TV using the headphone output. Very pleased (now). Great sound quality and didn't have to find a home for speakers.

Para los que debaten si Lepy es mejor que Lepai, o viceversa; que no les quede duda ... Lepy y Lepai es lo mismo y en la caja lo dice.Lo adquirí porque a veces necesito checar bocinas de diferentes impedancias y esto no es bueno hacerlo con los equipos de casa. Debo decir que aunque es un aparato Chino, éste está muy bien hecho, su diseño es más que agradable y cuenta con muy buen acabado ... me resultó muy interesante saber como se comportan sus controles de graves y agudos, y estos hacen muy bien su trabajo, esenciales para controlar dichas frecuencias y evitar la distorsión; controles que otros aparatos similares como Mitzu no tienen. Se desempeña muy bien con bocinas pequeñas de 4 pulgadas (de 4 ohms), aunque también se pueden utilizar bocinas de mayor tamaño e impedancia (de 6 y hasta 8 ohms), incluyendo bafles para repisa o librero y tiene buen sonido. Es ideal para espacios pequeños en casa, oficina, o para llevar a cabo tus "pininos" en el mundo del audio.Le puedes agregar un receptor/adaptador bluetooth a través de su entrada de 3.5 mm o usarlo a través de sus entradas RCA. El precio que pagué ($ 422.43), definitivamente los vale ... no se los dice alguien a quien le gusta comprar artículos baratos o Chinos, se los recomienda un propietario de equipo de audio Hi-Fi Onkyo y Polk Audio.El paquete recibido, como siempre ... en tiempo, forma e impecable; saludos y suerte en sus compras.

Muy buen amplificador vale la pena por el precio, no lo considero que sea HIFI, pero se escucha bastante bien, a volumen medio y moderado casi no tiene distorsión, el tamaño es compacto lo cual lo hace atractivo para cualquier aplicación. Una recomendación por si quieren usar al volumen máximo sin que se corte, es que cambien el adaptador de corriente por uno de mayor amperes, de 4 a 5 amperes seria lo recomendable.

Este amplificador logró que conectara mis viejas bocinas (con un buen sonido) a un nuevo tornamesa. Es, sin duda, para uso casero, no profesional, pero por su precio es una excelente opción para quien busque adaptar diferentes sistemas de audio/video.

En un principio me sentía escéptico porque las reseñas mexicanas contrastaban lo las de los EEUU. Conecté el amplificador a un ecualizador de mi computadora y a unas bocinas que eran de un teatro en casa que compré hace 15 años. El sonido es cristalino y de alta calidad. Lo uso para mi oficina a volumen moderado.

Bought this to use my 10 year old hi-fi stereo system speakers. Works like a charm and breath a new life into the old but very good sounding speakers. The Amp produces clear and well balanced sound.And somehow I like it's industrial look. Very DIY vibe to it.
