    I still have vinyl and this receiver has good sound quality for the small area I'm using it in. Really nice to have a remote compared to the 40 year old pioneer that used to do the phono.

    This thing can push some serious watts. I've heard receivers with twice the wattage sound weak and maxed well before it should. I don't get to really crank up to often but when I do, it rocks!

    I purchased the receiver to use with my turntable since i didn't buy powered speakers. Works well with the turntable and speakers. My setup is pretty much an entry level system, didn't want to break the bank to listen to vinyl again, the vinyl will be expensive enough.

    Excellent power and features. I needed an old school receiver with radio and phono inputs yet adding Bluetooth and this is one of few that has all of that. The radio receiver is not super strong though and does not pick up well but I may expand the antenna to see if that helps. Plenty of power.

    The demand for 2 channel receivers is probably quite low these days with numerous home theater options offering 7 or more channels . I personally have a quite nice home theater with a Samsung 4K curved TV, 5 top of the line Definitive Technology speakers , and a high end Denon Receiver and sub. I bought this receiver for my mom who just wants to listen to music , and this unit Really does the job . Extremely easy set up and use, Mom didn’t know it was possible to wirelessly stream music from her iPhone , and this basic Sony receiver fills the entire first floor with crystal clear music . This has to be the best bang for the buck piece of electronic equipment I’ve ever purchased . For about $100 I’m a hero in moms eyes !! If you want to listen to music without the need to have a home theater set up, you could seriously consider this product !!
