Very nice for such a great price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

At the end of it all, with my minimal needs, he suggested this one - perfect for my needs, and the least expensive of the bunch! That's the kind of experience that brings me back.

Great Stereo Amplifier for the Money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really impressed with the build quality and the sound of this unit. The size and apparent quality of the power transformer and the power capacitors seemed to be at the top of the class for this price range. If all you need is a basic stereo amp without all the bells and whistles of fancier models, you will have to spend quite a bit more to get better quality than this. Unfortunately, I cannot speak to longevity as I returned the unit because I wound up having to buy a new TV as well, and I opted for a unit with ARC technology in it, but it seemed to be a well made item for the brief period that I owned it.

Great Addition to my Sound System
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great audio system. Clean and powerful. Love the built in Phono Preamp - cleanly boosts magnetic cartridge inputs to give you clean balanced record playing. Only have 2 complaints with the amp: 1. Has a proprietary FM antenna using single wire so it doesn't except amplified antenna inputs 2. Does not have PreAmp out and Amp in connectors to insert a multiband equalizer into the system But the pros out-weigh these to issues.

Great simple receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice stereo receiver, sounds great with my subwoofer in my living room. I gave it 4 stars because it does not have AM. I live in the high desert valley surrounded by mountains so I don't get many stations, but my older Sony similar to my (STR-DH130) in the bedroom has AM and gets the stations I need, such as Coast to Coast with George Noory. I hope Sony is more reliable than the two Yamaha receivers of the same model (HTR-5830) both of which went bad on me. The Sony's are much simpler without all the bells and whistles. At 70 I need simplicity.
