A Perfect Receiver/Tuner for the Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to recently replace my 30 year old tuner/receiver and was looking for a component that was inexpensive but offered a tuner, Bluetooth and capacity to operate a CD player. The Sony is perfect with simple to use controls and sufficient to run my 2 Bose speakers. Zero distortion and a small size fitting well into my modular unit. A great buy if you’re looking for a straight forward product.

Good Performance, Low Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was replacing a Sony receiver that was having issues after several decades. I chose this one because of the good experience I had with my older unit, and because of the reasonable price. It seems to provide quality sound. The two downsides from my perspective: (1) it has only FM, no AM; (2) the all-black front looks sleek, I guess, but it is very difficult to see the controls and buttons in low or dim light.

We value your inputs and appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately, the STRDH190 does not have an AM tuner, only FM, along with all its other features including Bluetooth connectivity, dedicated inputs for a phono/turntable, and more.

Sony is the best!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to work with...I have 30 year old Pioneer and Kenwood electronics and I am proud to say my new Sony Receiver are compatible with all of them. I had no problem hooking them all to the receiver. Instructions easy. Great sound I must add! I just bought a new Sony bluetooth too! I'll review that next time.

Perfect for Vinyl
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're looking for something that also has the flexibility to play your vinyl collection, look no further. This blows away some others I've tried and just has a fuller, more visceral sound, at less than half the price. Handy bass/treble adjustments directly on the remote, so you can fine tune based on the song/album.

Worth checking out!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have not had luck with amplifiers lately. This one had great reviews so I purchased it. So far I really like it. No real complaints for the amp. I have it hooked up to a pair of Klipsch RF-7s. So far the amp has performed well. After the amp warms up and I find the sweet spot on the volume I turn pure direct on and it sounds great. I don’t believe you’ll find a comparable amp at this price point.

Good unit for garage tunes, poor volume control
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice unit for garage tunes. The volume dial feels rather wonky when spun by hand as many have reported. Blue tooth connection and automatic turn on of unit from I-phone is very nice feature! Unfortunately, the volume control from the I-phone is limited at "50" maximum on the dial display which is ok for casual listening but not cranking to rock out. Poor design by limiting remote volume management to some arbitrary mid-level value.

Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver for the price. We moved recently and had an extra set of Klipsch speakers. I purchased this receiver so I could use them in the garage. Always love Sony products. Great sound from the FM radio and I can pair my tablet to listen Pandora etc. Perfect for when I am working in the garage or yard. Also great for social distance driveway small gatherings.
