Very Hard to Beat
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I rate this based on value to performance. However, I will say that this is more enjoyable to listen to than some more expensive receivers. I've returned receivers costing almost five times as much because the Sony can be more fun to listen to. It has a really good phono stage, which is what I primarily use the Sony for. The sound is transparent and you clearly hear all instruments. Don't listen to audiophile reviews. I did and I wasted so much money until I stumbled across this gem. If you like music with tons of bass, you may not want to purchase this product. It is meant for music that contains a lot of instrumentation, such as rock, country, jazz, etc.. This receiver presents the treble, midrange and bass very balanced. This is a very good thing, but some folks may like more punch, so they may want a different receiver. Keep in mind that sound reproduction is a compromise, so if you want more bass, you may miss out on other musical details.

Useful Utility Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a receiver in my home gym to power up some old speakers I had laying around Pros- Price ($99), Bluetooth, Ease of Use , Set it up and started playing music in 5 minutes Cons- Size . Not really a Con, but we are spoiled now with portable speakers and I haven't used a receiver in 10+ years. Smaller than what I had though for sure

Posted .Hi Size, We're glad to hear you feel that the Bluetooth feature and ease of use of the STRDH190 is worth its price.
Whether you choose to enjoy the warm sound of vinyl via the phono input, or stream music from your digital music collection, you’ve found a perfect match. Don’t forget the receiver’s A=B function lets you connect two pairs of speakers. You can easily switch between A or B or use them all together at the same time. When you factor in the low-profile design, we’re sure you’ve found the flexibility and performance you’ve been looking for! Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam

Amazing Power and Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing! I wondered why my Best Buy had 15 in stock. WOW!; This unit ROCKS. I hooked it up to my old Radio Shack Mach 3’s that have Rockford Fosgate 15” Woofers. I needed an amp that was 6ohm stable. I bought 2 on sale. Surprised isn’t the word. I run it HARD! It gets hot. I use a small fan to help keep it from burning up. The 2 year warranty shows you how confident they are in this product. For $150, this out-performs $600 amps. Buy it, you WON’T be disappointed…

Sweet Stereo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All I needed was a receiver that had Bluetooth to stream from my iPhone & computer to practice my music with & this receiver is absolutely excellent for my use. All the connections one needs, great sound, user friendly. Love the remote, never have to get off my seat to do what I need to do as far as music. Play pedal steel. Would recommend.

Sony Rocks it!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for an inexpensive but quality receiver to replace my 40 year old Hitachi solid state receiver which would have cost a small fortune to refurbish. Totally surprised by the sound, the features (including bluetooth), and the sleekness of this product at a very affordable price. You cannot go wrong with this receiver.

Plenty of clean sound.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a receiver with phono inputs so I could resurrect my quality Sony turntable from years gone by. It was a perfect match. Plenty of power and no noticeable distortion at a good volume running thru the Klipsch speakers I paired it with. The price was very reasonable as well.

Solid receiver to power whole-house speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using the received to power 11 in-ceiling speakers (5 indoor and 6 indoor). The receiver is two-zone (A and B) and provides plenty of volume for these speakers. Price point is excellent value for the quality. Also works well with Phono and Bluetooth Audio (e.g., from your iPhone), which turns on the receiver remotely.

Vs Nobusound Mini, pretty good investment
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a nobusound when I was recommended this as an alternative, obviously much pricier. The Bluetooth functionality is excellent, especially since it is an older piece. It will display the name of the connected device without programming, and it turns on when connected for music, so you can start it from the device. There are many other features that didn't review well with others, and I may also run into those challenging, but for my purposes - connecting to a speaker via speaker wire then to Bluetooth this was a great choice with lots more potential uses. I love that nobusound mini, but this is a good receiver.

Good Value Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality sound that offers the versatility that many of the more recent devices lack. Enough power to give you the volume you need while still having clear sound. Has the bluetooth capability that you couldn't get on receivers in the old days!

Mesmorazing
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.¡WOW! I'm just mezmorized the sound for the price is like having a AUDIOPHILE SYSTEM that is worth THOUSANDS I was skeptic at first because i only had 2 very old Panasonic bookshelf speakers with only a small 4.5 woofer and a 2.5 tweeter that can hold 50 watts RMS and boy I was so surpriced. I don't need anything else. I'm so happy.
