Which amp to buy?

[Agazed]

Hello! I bought a Lepai LP-2024A+ amp about 3 months ago and it is one of the cheapest products ive ever used.

 

When it arrived, the L- speaker output wasn't working, so I had to run my speakers in one channel which wasn't a big deal for me. Then, about a month later the LED on the volume control blew out, which also wasn't a big deal.

 

But today, the entire amp stopped working and nothing turns on. So I need a new one now

 

Anyway, here are my requirements:

 

• No white noise! The Lepai one made the speakers hiss when turned on.
• Same wattage as the Lepai one is fine.
• 2 channels
• Bass and treble knobs

Most quality small amps don't have bass and treble knobs. Can't you do the EQ'ing via your PC?

 

Have a look at SMSL and Muse's offerings on eBay.

True, but for me it's annoying changing the settings. I prefer physical buttons, but it's not really a must.

 

Do you recommend specific models?

A good PSU, from MeanWell for example, is essential if you want no white noise.

12V 3A is recommended.

The 2020A+ is pretty much the only good lepai amp.

Edit: also the amp you got was likely a lepy not lepai.
