Many appreciate its affordable price and the inclusion of a phono input for turntables. While some users mentioned the bass could be improved, and the volume control could be more refined, the overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive.

    Nice clean sound at a real cheap price. No high power blaster, but when living in apartments can not do this. Paired up with a sent of Sony 6 ohm speakers this unit is a clean and just enough bass to be a comfort to listen to. I highly recommend SONY speakers for this unit because they seem to match better than other book shelf speakers I have tried.

      Hi 8225, Thank you for your purchase! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the sound quality and it works well with your vinyl record player. 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! -Sam Sony_US

    Paired it up with some Edifier stero speakers and the sound is phenominal for a pretty minimal setup. Bluetooth and other features are easy to use.

    I'm very pleased with this amplifier/ receiver, it has great clarity, and input flexibility: 4 inputs, a phono input, and bluetooth connectivity. It has a remote too which is awesome. I'm listening to it through a nice pair of Bose speakers, so that helps. I wish it had the option to adjust the bass, treble, balance etc. at the unit itself, those features are only accessible with the remote. A very good sounding amp for its price, I recommend.

    This is a simple receiver that works perfectly. My husband wanted to be able to control the music from outside in the yard. The bluetooth capability allows him to pair his iPhone and then control the music outside without having to go into the house. Great little receiver.

    A modest tuner/receiver that delivers exactly as advertised. I wanted a simple two channel pre-amp/amp with FM tuner to drive bookshelf speakers and also accept phono input, CD, and DVD sound. This does all that with acceptable performance at incredibly reasonable cost. The phono input is high-output moving coil and it works fine.

    Great basic receiver unit for what I use it for. A/B or both switchable speaker output can send music to my outdoor speakers or just my indoor speakers or both. Bluetooth connection from my Samsung Galaxy s7edge is perfect. FM radio only no AM or satellite. Plenty of inputs for a basic stereo reciever at this price point, including a phonograph input should you have a turntable.

    Great alternative if you want to still be able to hookup subwoofers for bass. Definitely a better more modern style versus the older outdated ones with no Bluetooth capabilities.

    This receiver is exactly what I needed to hookup my old Technics turntable and cd player. It was rated high overall for the price. Changing the pre-sets on the FM channel took a bit longer than expected.
