(More customer reviews)Been using this for several days now, just one of many drop amps I've tried over the years. It has good contrast, low noise, and smooth, even transmission across the full spectrum of analog and digital channels -- as opposed to several amps that vary in clarity between low-band and high-band channels. It certainly beats competitive products from Motorola, Radio Shack (no surprise!), and the noisy PCT amp with its reddish color balance. The only area in which it doesn't excel is that it lacks a subtle snap and sparkle that I had with my old PDI drop amp -- but that amp's 7 years old and showing its age. It seems to have a softer image than the PCT or PDI. But this is a relative judgment, and most of its competitors don't come close to its clarity of image and clean color. No drop amp is perfect. This one seems worth the few extra bucks. Take some care, though: 15db is more power than many people need. I'm using it with two 2-way and one 3-way splitter down the line, with a total loss of -12.5 db on my line. Thus I actually have about 2.5 db more power than I really need, so many people might consider a 10 or 11db amp as more appropriate. In my case I inserted 3db of Antronix line resistance to avoid overloading my tv and recorders. If it weren't for that slight difference in sharpness and sparkle, I'd have given this 5 stars instead of 4. But most people won't see the difference. For sure, I'd recommend this drop amp over any others at Amazon now in the under-$100 range.
