Sony STRDH130 2-Channel Hi-Fi Home Stereo Receiver

Stacy O Norman: Nice basic receiver - add a Google Chromecast Audio to create a powerful full house solution cheaper than Sonos

La vérité S.V.P.: Bon produit et durable je crois.
La prise des câbles des hauts parleurs sont trop petits,
et délicats! Max Calibre16 c'est un peu juste pour 100Wrms
sur une bonne distance!

JEG: Found it easy to install and it has good sound quality, took a little time to get use to the controls. Will tell friends about the unit.

Artlandish: Excellent value, but had to return as I did not realize one needs a phono input to properly hear turntable. One can purchase a preamp for around $40, but you still won't get the true full sound vinyl offers unless you have a phono specific input. I'm into my vinyl.
I was blown away at how easy the return process was - thank you Amazon !!! ... mind you, it's been returned, but too soon to see refund. I highly doubt I'll have any issues; Amazon provided free return post on this item. Can't beat that with a stick!

StormTrackerJay2: I just purchased & received the Sony STRDH130 stereo receiver today from Amazon.com and unlike my prior 14 year old Sony AV stereo receiver, this newer unit is easier to connect to new fangled electronic devices such as flat screen LED/LCD TV sets compared to my older 14 year old Sony AV receiver. Also, this is a basic 2-channel stereo receiver and that's all I really need for my audio & video pleasures here at home. I had problems hooking up TV or video devices with the prior older Sony stereo receiver, but not with this newer Sony receiver.....I had everything hooked up correctly within 30 minutes of opening up the box and that simply made the purchase well worth it. Very completed remote control that handles everything comes with the receiver....as the same with my prior Sony stereo receiver also. Seems Sony makes a very thorough stereo remote control. My old Sony remote actually works with this newer Sony receiver...nice surprise. The stereo receiver unit itself is pretty basic and not cluttered and pretty easy to operate and very straight-forward with everything on this receiver. Sound quality is excellent and you can use 1 or 2 sets of speakers either set or both...

Crycky: Always liked Sony. This is a fantastic receiver for the money. Just wanted a 2 channel to drive some Paradigm Atoms for TV, movies, music. Replacing an old Techniques amp. I am overjoyed with my purchase. USB connection would be nice on this amp for MP3 player etc. but no big deal.

Pardero: Good sound and the controls on receiver are intuitive and easy to use. If you lose the remote, you could easily get by with the receiver's controls. The bare bones basics are there. I enjoy plugging in my smartphone and amplifying Pandora radio and appreciate Sony including the feature. The remote looks complex, but really isn't. It has half the controls of my vintage Pioneer. The remote allows this receiver to control lots of equipment, although I don't know if that only includes Sony products. I do not need it for any purpose other than FM and a Sony CD player, but it is nice to know that it has the capability. Plenty of power. I will miss the Pioneer's built in 7 band graphic equalizer, and a mid-range control would have helped soften that loss, but the bass and treble controls work nicely and I am fully satisfied. This unit may seem Spartan to some folks, but it has all the essentials and they have kept the price reasonable. Once predominant, stereo receivers are now a specialty niche, which Sony is covering nicely with this unit. Choosing this fine receiver over competing stereo receivers was an easy choice. This isn't a Chinese receiver with an 'audiophile' name plate stuck...
