Pyle Home Audio Power Amplifier System: Enjoy 2X40W of Mini Dual Channel Sound with this Stereo Receiver, Including AUX Input.

Derek grapentine: Revived my old box speakers with ease! Sounds great crystal clear no static. It's more than loud enough for my 2.5 car garage at half volume! Highly recommend this affordable reciever.

SRDasSRDas: Overall this is a really nice stereo amp. I'm getting good sound out of my speakers - much better than I used yo with a much bigger and fancier (though old) Onkyo amp. It does have bluetooth and other connectivities which is nice to have (and I tested but don't really use). A remote would have been nice to turn on/off and for volume control [a feature that's available in other lower power and cost models]. However one annoying feature is that the very bright blue LED (or right) for the bluetooth function constantly blinks! (unless connected). Customer support indicated there is no fix for (besides putting black tape over).

VirgilVirgil: Pictured: From L to R: mp3 player, included remote, Ipod, USB stick. Shown inserted into unit: 8GB SD, 16GBCruzerFit.

All inputs connect and function as expected. Of course, the bluetooth mode, connected wirelessly to an ipod or other music player is the most convenient since you have full control. The SD card and USB play one after another. Not a problem for me since I play music continuously and don't constantly hunt around choosing certain tracks. To play the next song on the SD card or inserted USB you simply press the "NEXT" button on the PCA2 or on the remote. Choosing next scrolls through the SD card and then the USB.

The sound is good for mp3s which is what I primarily use it for (set it and forget it). Plenty of power that's for sure. There are 10 volume marks around the knob; I only need a 2 or 3 to play at a nice volume that I can hear fine in several rooms. For soft background then even less than 2 is enough. I have the PCA2 hooked up to 2 well made circa-1980-1990s Bose 4 OHM indoor/outdoor bookshelf speakers.

Yeah there's a very slight hum but only if you put your ear right next to a speaker with nothing playing, no matter how high I turned the...

Jamie Sherwood: Initially I was quite pleased with this amp for the price. But when I had a warranty concern, this is what I was told "We do apologize but after checking your shipping address, you're located in Canada.
We're still working on a warranty and shipping solution for our Canadian customers."
So if you buy something from Pyle be aware that it should be considered disposable.

Kyle: Using this little amp to power a pair of JBL LOFT 50 tower speakers for my PC. I would say it's loud enough for a bedroom, small living room, garage or for powering outdoor speakers. No issues with noise or anything. Having an FM tuner is a nice bonus! The tiny footprint of this amp is great for fitting on a computer desk.

SheGull: I purchased this unit (PCA2) for my office desk.
I wanted an inexpensive, but functional unit. I hadn't looked for such a device before so I didn't really know what I would find. I did look at several units designed for more karaoke functions with dual microphone inputs on the front, so I filtered those out.
I just want to say I found it! This unit is the perfect size and has all the features I could want (plus some I was very pleased to discover).

Observations:
- Size: Perfect for my desk.
- Case: Black Metal case, solid. Seems well constructed. It does have some weight to it for the size due to the components required inside.
- Sikscreening: Looks good, all words are clear and crisp and straight and aligned where they should be. Both front and rear.
- Potentiometers: Feel very smooth and provide a good resistance while turning. There is no discernible audio loss while moving them, no crackling or static. Very pleased here.
- Buttons: The buttons do depress with a click and they do bottom out when fully depressed. They don't sink into the unit so there is some backing here which is good. So they feel solid and you get a good click.
- Knobs: A little...

Yottabyte: As a quick solution its okay.

I work as a editor and bought this as a fast and cheap while waiting on a replacement.
TL;DR
Overall good, Don't buy it if you don't like a constant humming due to the lack of a grounding wire. It is distracting.

The problems are as follows.
1 - There is no grounding wire, so when the device in turned on there is a constant hum outputted to the speakers. It is just audible and can distract and confuse the client and other people, especially if you are trying to remove the humm.
2 - Very bright LED - This LED is not the most irritating but when you are in a dark room it all of a sudden looks like the sun. A minor offences but I just covered it with some gaff tape.

The good things are as follows.
1 - I have 2x 40watt speakers and it powers it quite well. I often have it on the 10-15% volume as it is quite loud.
2 - Relatively small and compact.
3 - Does not produce a ton of heat.
4 - 110v - 240v switch, a bit old school but still does the job.
