They do pump out some decent power - I wanted something small, and didn't have to be too high end for a home made jukebox I have sitting on my back verandah. Chris, you are correct - these units are often listed as motorcycle/marine/car amplifiers. Also, it shows the same with the other power adapter as well. On my digital multimeter when on the ACA setting at 200m the display shows 00.0 mA, but turning it to the 20m/10A setting it shows 0.04 (without the mA) so was a bit confusing. I did mean to say that I was dubious about the 0.04 A reading (either false reading or my misreading) for the reasons you mentioned. I had checked that and it was just showing the 12V DC, but I just tested the amplifier with a different power adapter (yes another cheap chinese one, that came with a LED strip) and there is zero voltage showing on the case with that. I would have never have guessed it was the power adapter. I've been a fan of Dave's videos for a while, but hadn't realised there was such a populated and prolific forum here. Thanks for your prompt and informative replies fellas, you're legends. Any idea of what could be the cause of this, and if it is possible to fix, or is it not worth it? From a basic visual glance nothing seems damaged or out of place. I'm a computer systems engineer so my electronics knowledge is fairly basic, but I'm trying to learn more. ![]() Even the 3.5mm audio jack and the speaker outs were 84VAC! However the unit operates completely normally aside from this. ![]() I opened the case and tested a few points and got the same voltage, although some points such as the two tone potentiometers in the middle as shown in the attached photo were sitting at 15 volts AC. I attached a wire to the case and to earth with my multimeter in series to take some readings and it is showing steady 84 volts AC, and 0.04 A. It runs of 12V DC so it doesn't have an earth pin, and something must be going wrong as it was a noticeable shock, though far from other electric shocks I'd received in my life. It is a Lvpin (also seen as lepai) LP-2020A+ as shown on this ebay link: The ones I've had before have been great little units for the price, and put out quite a lot of sound for the package. Hi, I have had a few of these cheap amplifiers which have been great for different little projects, but this recent one I got once plugged in gave me a minor shock from the metal case.
