    This receiver is worth every penny I paid for it. It has inspired me to dust off my old CDs & LPs. I use it with 2 bookshelf size Athena speakers and an Athena subwoofer. Listening to music through phones and laptops should be criminalized. The sound of this inexpensive receiver takes me back to a time when an evening's entertainment was often getting together with friends listening to the latest LP release in its entirety and reading liner notes.

      Hi Mikogni,

      You made the right choice in upgrading to the Sony STRDH190! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality of the 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! Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Wanted a new Stereo Receiver with a Phono jack for my turntable. Seems to work great. Not crazy about the menu options but works good for having a CD Player and Turntable and has Bluetooth too so you can connect your computer or phone to it too!

    Sony 2 ch stereo receiver produces true un- adulterated sound. With high quality speakers it is a great pleasure. Bluetooth works very well. There should have been a sub woofer connection.

    Straight forward, easy to use, good sound. It does create loud "pop" sound sometimes between tracks when using my Mac Music as Bluetooth sound source. Nt sure why. This does not occur when using iPhone or iPod as source.

    We have this running our remote speakers in two locations around the house - the A and B of the speakers on the system. So - given that it isn't running our main system - I am very happy with the results. Good sound quality, plenty loud enough, and really like that I can connect my phone up via blue tooth so I can run Spotify and my phone's music through the system. For the price, would highly recommend and think it would also serve well for a main system - though it doesn't support a fancy multi-speaker arrangement. The only thing I don't like is the "feel" of the volume control - but that really is a minor thing.
