    I needed a receiver that would power my 44 year old turntable and 6 CD player. It works perfectly, and has a sleek look to it. I have Sony equipment, and it is reliable. The price was very reasonabvle.

      Hi DrCw, That's great! We're glad you like the great sound quality and overall features of your Sony STRDH190. 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 Sony_US

    I replaced a JVC integrated stereo amp from the 90s with this. Everything works great except the included tuner antenna is very short and proprietary, so can't be replaced with anything else. The integrated tuner pulls in fewer than half the stations of my old JVC tuner, so I am using my older tuner with this device. Other than that, I like it very much. It supports my older stereo rack components I purchased in the 90s and allows me to pair with a mobile device via bluetooth.

    If all you need is a 2 channel receiver this is an excellent option. I needed to hook up a pair of speakers as well as a turntable. I also needed bluetooth for streaming. This receiver is perfect for all of that. Plus it puts out plenty of power and sounds very good. Way better than expected.

    needed to get back to basics, this did the trick, easy set up, easy to use, sounds great, blue tooth connection a plus, wouldn't mind one hdmi port, but not an issue, it does all i need without it, speaker wire clips not ideal but for the price, thats about the only draw back for me, handles my turntable and cd player, the remote is simple to use, my last receiver which shall remain nameless had a remote you needed a degree to use, anyway enjoying music on all levels again!!!!
