Is this better than the DJ-16 Bacon &amp; Eggs Mini Amps? I'm trying to decide which one to purchase.

That is a hard question to answer requiring someone to know both amps very well. I will say this. This one is super cheap and is not really an amp but more of a practice tool when you require a cheap and small way to practice on the fly or in the bedroom. It is not loud, amazing or incredible in any way but it is far beyond acceptable for solo practicing at the price point and therefore hard to beat for the same price. But after having a look at the bacon and eggs amp, I would go with that instead as it has a dual purpose and can be used like a pedal. My guess is it will be close to the honeytone amp if you keep your expectations realistic. They are both for solo practice only it would seem. But hold on because it seems according to a few reviews that the bacon and eggs amp does not permit the distortion to be turned off and the volume can't be lowered or so reviews state but those could be wrong. If they are correct, then go with the honeytone amp. Good luck!

I don't pay attention to the specs as much as I do to the actual performance. I will say this, I replaced my older Onkyo amp with this newer version because it's so much more quiet. I can't even tell when the power is on, but I could with my older version. I think you will be pretty impressed with the sound quality - especially if you are using a quality belt-drive turntable.

Thank you all for the response, I am seriously considering getting a couple of these for my mobile DJ setup. Your help is greatly appreciated!

In my opinion, nothing considerably better. You'd be disappointed with the work you put in for the Sound you get out of the amp. Spend the extra money if you have it and buy trusted name brand amp. Mibe already bit the dust. Upon opening ut, its basically a small chip in a big metal case. Id avoid this product and search elsewhere to be 100% honest

Most definitely. It is the same quality and performance I got when I purchased from Radio Sh*ck previously. The low cost only reinforces the high markup retailers use to pad their profit lines. I'm currently using two and have additional jacks in reserve because my College Student Djs tend to take them with them.

Hi. Their idea of 800 watts sounds much more like 120 watts, in comparison to a small Peavey or Kustom system (both of which I've owned before). Inside a coffee house, I had to turn it up to 60%, inside a sports bar more like 90%. You'll get more volume if you turn all the tone controls way up, but I don't like doing that.

Spec sheet says it's higher, but where did the six pounds go? It's possible the weight loss was due to the refinement of internal components other than the amp, but six pounds is a lot. I emailed Pioneer and they stated that they are using smaller, better components, but the quality is the same. I suppose we will have to wait for the audiophile reviews.

I'm running two of these monsters with a 2500 watt amp and they're in a ported single box, I've found they aren't very good at hitting the lows. Get the sealed box, trust me.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a mini...its an average size practice amp. (warning) can get very loud warn your neighbors.

In my experience the 2020A is a significantly better amp. It's twice the cost... but worth it. This amp has poor quality control, tents to overhead and perform inconsistently. For around $20, the 2020A is still cheap... and definitely preferable.

go with one of the pioneer digital amps and you'll be happy, those amps are relatively small and push plenty of power

Hello, I would suggest the Blackstar ID30 or ID60 for a little more power , and much more ideal for the type of music and sound you are looking to get. You can give the store a call if you wanted to order one of those 856-384-2725

Personally, my mini sounds better than I thought it would. Although I had a sound link, I would go with the mini for overall sound.

There has been a lot of discussion regarding this question on www.avsforum.com where you'll find TRUE audiophiles. The general consensus from those that have owned both setups is that the RC-Micros are the way to go, despite their smaller size, because they're of a higher build quality. But, if you'd like to research yourself, go to the website and do a SEARCH for the thread.

I don't know which is better but I've had this one for almost a year now and it is powering 4 component speakers and a kicker solo r5 and have not had any problems with it. Such a solid buy. I would defiantly recommend this amp. True grit! And I live in Phoenix so heat is not a problem for it! Hope that helps.

I've not heard the VIP but the Nano is a pretty nice practice amp or "hang out with your friends and jam" amp. The smaller speaker lacks the punch and bottom-end of a 10 or 12 inch speaker (i.e. it's a little bit thin sounding) but the built-in effects more than make up for it. It's super-easy to use and has a more than a few nice sounds to dial in but you don't get the flexibility that you would with a pedal board. If you want something you can take with you on a weekend trip and jam then this is your amp. If you are looking for something that is gig-worthy (even when mic'd) or something that can project over a drummer, I would look elsewhere.

I went to BB to listen to the Klipsch with a variety of different receivers and I would say go with the Energy RC micro's. I think they sound much better and it's odd since they are the same company. I paired my speakers with the Onkyo sr 507 and its sounds great.
