Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, very well built. Bluetooth for your modern devices (phone/laptop/tablet, etc). If you need a basic receiver for playing MUSIC, this is for you. I'll save the research: if you're playing music, you don't need more than two channels because music is recorded on two channels (i.e., stereo). In fact, in my experience, playing music over a multi-channel system (5 or 7) takes away from the music. It makes it very hard to get into the "void" when you're with Alice D.

Simple and clean
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a stereo receiver to play music while working on projects in my workshop. I got tired of small Bluetooth speakers that simply cannot represent sound the same way two spaced out speakers can. Pushing two MTX floor standing speakers and I’ve been enjoying work a bit more. Definitely Recommend buying used if you don’t need Bluetooth but Covid has made keeping old electronics from collecting dust difficult. Garage sales wouldn’t be smart right now.

Posted .Hi Freddysfocus, Thank you for purchasing our Sony STRDH190. Good to know that this is what you're looking for in a stereo receiver. 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

A great amp at a budget price

Home Amplifier
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good amplifier for turntable, and for my CD player. FM tuner very good for most stations, but has some noise on my favorite station. Distance from the station may be the problem.I will try moving the antenna to get rid of the noise,

Nice Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’ve never used Bluetooth before for connecting a source of music this thing will blow you away. I currently use it with a PC that has a Bluetooth connection. I turn on the PC and it automatically turns on this unit and allows me to stream the music directly from my PC through to the speakers. Sound is fairly clean and I’m happy with the purchase. I really didn’t expect it to work as good as it does for the price.

The Basics
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This does exactly what i need at a good price(especially on sale/open box). I have it set up with two channels in my office with a Chromecast audio and RCA cable from my CRT for retro games. Looks great and sounds good. I just wish it at least took banana plugs or had some audio calibration

Posted .Hi cryan9, we're glad you are enjoying our product! We appreciate your feedback regarding calibration. Unfortunately, this STRDH190 does not have audio calibration or Test tone function. You can find this function on STRDH590 or STRDH790 models.

Sony Stereo
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All in all, it is a very nice receiver for $200. Including built in FM radio, it has inputs for phono, bluetooth, 4 inputs (cd, tape, etc). Power is rated at 100 watts which is very sufficient for my small Klipsch speakers, which sounds very good. A minor drawback is there is no AM radio, but it was no deal breaker here. Overall, I am very pleased with it

Great Hi Fi!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit was priced on sale for $150. It's easy to hookup and has a powerful amplifier. It has a built in am/m tuner and comes with its own antenna. It has phono input to hook up our own record player, which is hard to find these days. Sounds real good with no distortion on our 12" 3-way speakers. Very Happy with the purchase!
