No competition at this price - very good value [Posted on 2006-04-29]
Not quite a 5-star item, and I can't vote 4-1/2, so I rate this a "4". Pro amps of this type cost well over $500, but at Amazon's price of a c-note this amp is a good performer. Runs circles around the noisy, junky Radio Shack and Terk models. Do yourself a favor, spend a few bucks more and get vastly better performance. Caveat: some buyers assume this amp converts S-Video to composite, and vice-versa. No way. If you have no S-Video components, you need a composite input source. You can use S-Video and composite at the same time with no problems, but there's no signal conversion. I'm feeding both inputs and getting much improved pic and audio over other units I used. Another warning: these amps don't 'clean' a poor input signal. Garbage at input = garbage at output (at least it doesn't make a bad signal worse!). Avoid cheap cables, avoid Monster and Radio Shack, get good connects from Belden, AR, or any other, and this unit will be a good performer at this price. It's one of many good values made by CE Labs (I tried their digital cable RF amps, they were good values as well). To get better than this, be prepared to shell out the kind of big bucks spent on electronics store displays.
CE Labs: No need to look any further [Posted on 2007-02-18]
I have tried in many examples, to see a difference between the signal from this device and from the video being connected directly into the recording device, and I can see no "appreciable" difference. I've tried "blind" test DVD's to see if I can see a difference, and I just can't. If you need to feed multiple recording or input devices, this is the device. You can't beat the price. This device along with other CE Labs devices are used in countless showrooms (Costco, department stores, etc.) to distribute video to the many TV's on sale. Blown away by the great picture on that TV on the sales floor? It is most likely distributed by a CE Labs product. That's how good it is. This device certainly meets the standards of the home consumer user. Get it while you can.

The CE Labs AV 400SV is a high quality distribution amplifier. What goes in comes out with the same quality. No detectable noise noticed. It is a Major Problem Solver. I highly recommend this product.
