  4.0 out of 5 stars This worked pretty well considering my turntable/cartridge pair is not typical at all

  I read a lot about pre-amps, and MC and MM cartridges before buying. MY turntable, a B & O, has very low output, and uses an MMC cartridge (a rare bird). The Pyle was a good price, so I gave it a try, even though I wasn't sure it would be able to figure out what was coming from the turntable and respond as it would to any other setup. I wasn't really surprised that I had to crank the volume higher to get it to be decently loud. That probably wouldn't be an issue with a regular turntable. The good news is, even having to crank the volume because of the phono cartridge, there was only a little background noise, even when I was playing a Keith Jarrett album, which is very quiet music. And it certainly is working to what would be most people's satisfaction. It wasn't absolutely identical to what I remembered (I'm really fussy), though, so I went and bought the Rolls VP29. It kind of "went to 11", everything was there. But if you don't need that little push over the cliff, if it doesn't have to sound like the band is in the room, the Pyle works pretty well.
