The amp arrived and looked great for a refurbished unit. The price could not be beat. However my unit only ran for about ten minutes before the circuits began shutting off and on. So I let J&R Music World know about the problem and was told to return it at their cost. I received an emailed ups label and dropped it off to go out next day. I got a fast response from J&R and a proper credit was made. So although I didn’t get a working amplifier, I did get the kind of service that would allow me to shop with confidence on Amazon.com .

i purchased this amp as an add on for one of my customer’s home audio systems. i plugged it in and everything worked fine for a few minutes. i turned it off to add cables to the tv, and while it was off, it caught on fire! the manufacturer says that was an amazing fluke. the store i bought it from has no more to replace it so they gave my money back. i found another one at a different store and purchased it. that was a month ago. now the website for the store is under construction, i have not recieved the amp, and they will not respond to phone calls or emails. i want my money back!

I purchased this amp based on the great customer reviews. It is the most frustrating piece of musical equipment I have ever worked with. I do alot of recording and it’s impossible due to the fact that the amp does not turn on until there is a signal sent to it, therefore you never hear the first few beats of a song when you press play. It sucks. What a waste of $100. I guess I should have splurged on a higher quality amp.

I bought the AudioSource Amp 100 to replace a 30-year-old Harmam-Kardon that had died – I used it to make cassette copies of old phonograph records. The Amp100 does accept the signal from my turntable and pre-amp and puts the sound on the speakers, proving that there was nothing wrong with my system but the dead stereo amplifier. However, although the Amp 100 clearly has stereo output jacks, the signal there will not provide anything useful to the cassette deck. Way down in the fine print of the instructions I discovered that this “output” is referred to as a “pass-through”, which apparently means it is unamplified. Phooey!
