      Hi JW8377, We're very pleased to hear you like the powerful sound it delivers. 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

    Gotta say I wasn't expecting much when I bought this, but I've been surprised in a good way. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it has the turntable hook-ups with the pre-amp and it sounds great. My vinyl has new life. I thought I was just going deaf, but it was my receiver that had bitten the dust.

    Using it in my shop/garage. Replaced a 1980s high-end Sony receiver, RIP. It powers 2 Pevey towers...each has 2... 12" + 2... 10" + 4 tweeters...low distortion. Clean Sound even at max. The downside, bad FM reception with the supplied/cheap antenna wire with the funky plug,..no terminals to attach a real antenna. I'm old-school. Still have an early 70s, Sony Amp, Pre-Amp and Tuner in my studio powering 4 McIntosh speakers. So, in short, I'm happy.
