IMG Stageline SA-50 Compact Universal Stereo Amplifier & AmazonBasics 3.5mm to 2-Male RCA Adapter Cable - 2.4m / 8 Feet

Highly anticipated the arrival of this amp to be bitterly disappointed. looked to tick all the boxes, multi RCA inputs, aux input, manual treble and bass adjustment all in one neat and compact amp.... it went straight into my basket!1st amplifier arrived, connected to a nice pair of Cambridge Audio speakers (which are well within the power requirements for the amp) and connected a new set of RCA leads to it. upon playing any type of music at any volume the audio cracked when trying to deliver deeper notes... ARGHNot to worry, Amazon to the rescue with their rapid assistance and smooth exchange policy. We will send you one out right away they said, it will be there tomorrow! So with baited breath i sat by the door waiting for the delivery to arrive (bar a brief run to the post office to send off the 1st amp and to make a cup of tea!). The amp arrived and i scampered to where my audio equipment resides. Carefully un-boxing the new amp and connecting it up with the care of a surgeon.Powered the amp on, selected the correct input and pressed play.... Only to be greeted with the faintest of crackles from the amp (nowhere near as bad as the first one, but nevertheless still there).So to conclude this story if you value your audio quality at any volume i would save a few more pennys and purchase a better quality device. As for me i need to go in search of another compact amp that looks the business but doesn't break the bank...

I am beyond disgusted with this product ! If I had kept the box I would have returned it . I read the reviews but landed on the assumption that as amazon recommends it , it must actually work . The sound quality is horrendous on any output , it buzzes constantly and this ruins any input . This has been mentioned in 3 other reviews and I wished I’d paid heed. How can amazon sell something that doesn’t work ? DO NOT EVEN THINK about buying this .

Pretty stoked with this for fifty quid, seems very well put together and feels rugged and sturdy. Plenty of watts for a typical front-room, perfect size to slot on a bookshelf etc.Bass and treble controls do a 'good enough' job, especially if you've already EQ'd the input, otherwise -being hyper critical- I'd say the mid-range is a touch too strident, but nothing a bit of .5k/1k/2k cut doesn't fix. Playing through my old Wharfedale Delta 30s it is way better than I imagined for £50.So I've deducted a point for a 'less than perfect' mid-range response & the lack of a balance control, but apart from that this is a cracking little amp for the money.

if you are lookign for something that will sound nice for 1 hour okmine is attached to my computer for gaming sounds and communication over a long period. adter 2 to 3 hours audible distortions occur , these dissipate if the device is turned off but as long term head resides then so the distortions get worsethis is not fit for purpose unless you do not care about good quality sound and do not plan to listen for extended lengths of timeas i a point i am not an isolated disgruntled customer who got a bad one just that these products are not up to my standards for reliability and useDO NOT BUY

This is a very well built (surprisingly so) unit, with high quality feeling knobs on the front, and decent feeling connections on the rear. It sounds absolutely fine, probably not up to some audiophile standards, I'm sure, but more than adequate for most users.I really cannot state enough how good the build quality of this unit is. It's entirely made of metal (except for the knobs) and the switches are tough and don't feel cheap. I wouldn't have been disappointed if I'd paid double for this.The only thing I do not like about it is that mine came with an extremely bright blue LED power indicator, not the red one in the picture. This was fixed simply by sticking a bit of blutac over it, which doesn't look out of place considering most of the things I own with blue or white LEDs have received the same treatment.

This amplifier is brilliant for the price. Seems well built, solid feel, nicely finished. Plenty of options for inputs from CD player, FM tuner, iPod etc. Very nice sound with ability to boost bass and treble. Minor complaint might be that the input selector switch is small to grip for my fingers. Otherwise, excellent value for money. HiFi buffs may shun this, but for average use, I cannot complain. As with most modern electronics, if it works fine for the first 2 hours, then it will be fine for it's service life. So I am fully expecting several years of good listening.

I bought the IMG Stageline SA-50 to connect to a Chromecast Audio. Unfortunately, the audio crackles and is distorted. Other amps. in the house don't have that problem when connect to the Chromecast Audio. Thinking it to be an issue with that particular amp., I returned it and bought another, but that also crackles and plays distorted sound.

Unpackaged the amp... great I thought, waited until the new leads also arrived and with eager anticipation I connected it all up to the system. Powered up, got good old Whitney Houston on the player belting out her tunes ... all I heard was this deafening buzz and nothing else. LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS THAT TALK ABOUT THE BUZZ AS IT IS THERE AND MUSIC CANNOT BE HEARD ABOVE IT. Awful product and would not suggest anyone purchases it as it may sound all singing and dancing but it really isn't . One product being returned to Amazon asap.
