Designed for a system that revolves around vinyl
If you love vinyl and want a stereo receiver that will really make the most of it, take a look at this Sony. With its built-in phono pre-amp, any turntable with an MM (Moving Magnet) cartridge can be plugged in – no separate box required. The quality phono pre-amp is carefully positioned away from the power transformer, minimising interference and maximising music detail.
Optimised for Sony turntables
Although it works well with all turntables, the Sony STR-DH190 was developed with Sony’s PS-HX500 and PS-LX300USB. This means that when you pair either of these two decks with the receiver you can guarantee you’re getting the optimal sound quality.
Bluetooth connection for music streaming
When you’re not spinning discs, this flexible Sony is just as happy streaming music from your smartphone or tablet. Simply connect via Bluetooth and enjoy your stored music and favourite streaming services such as Spotify and Deezer. A neat extra function is the ability to power the receiver on from your smartphone, too.
High quality, powerful sound
Using a discreet amplifier, with separate components, gives the Sony a pure and detailed sound. With a large capacity transformer, there’s also power to match the purity – no less than a punchy 100 watts per channel.
The heart of your system
As a receiver, the STR-DH190 also comes with a built-in FM radio with 30 presets. Other music sources you might have are handled by the four RCA inputs – enough for a CD player, TV, streamer and other source. With two sets of speaker outputs, you can also have music in another room.
If you love music, then love all formats, with the all-inclusive Sony STR-DH190.

Capable turntable amplifier
Bought mainly to hook up with an old budget turntable, I'm certainly not feeding this with top quality input. However, what I can say is that the amp provides a capable solution if you have plenty of sources. In my case I'm feeding in an Audio Chromecast, turntable, cassette deck, CD, a further video Chromecast - and of course it has built-in BlueTooth and an FM tuner. The fact remains that this amp ticks many boxes, even if its sound isn't quite as punchy as its power would indicate. It has bass and treble controls, and this has helped massage the sound to my satisfaction, but they're only accessible from the supplied remote control - so don't lose it for the next lucky owner! I only give it average value, simply because I can't quite believe the cost of kit these days and it's not a criticism aimed specifically at this device ;)

Exactly what I've expected
The best £ 200 I've ever spent!
Is a 2 x 100, driving my 2 x 200 pair of Sony towers (SHmf750h) just great;
Got plenty of power, bluetooth, radio, is stylish with 2 big knobs, basically you take a lot of a receiver for these money.

Fantastic Budget Amp
For the price, this amplifier is amazing. I use it in my bedroom with a pair of 8 Ohm 50W speakers and it sounds great - even heavily compressed You Tube music videos. Just one thing to be aware of: using the Bluetooth connection may interfere with a 2.4GHz WiFi signal.

Precise, transparent sound & great value
I haven't tried all its features yet, but the phono stage is exceptionally flat (the spec says +/- 1 dB, and I believe it) and it has plenty of "oomph", getting the best out of my speakers at all frequencies. It seems particularly well matched to a good pair of Beyer Dynamic headphones, but I found it a tiny bit harsh with my AKG K550s. I always have preferred the Beyers though, so that suits me fine!
The bass is extended but not boomy and the treble is similarly extended but not tinny. In fact I haven't noticed anything wrong with the audio quality at all (so far).
Overall the sound is transparent - it sounds as if you're right there in the concert hall, and it feels like you're just hearing the sounds that the producer intended. There's no audible distortion, background noise or hum.
The only things I'm not keen on are the connectors - the socket for the FM aerial needs an adapter to connect it to a proper aerial, and the speaker connectors are just push-fit types - no binding posts or 4mm sockets. This isn't too important - it's easy enough to hook up a proper FM aerial if you don't mind doing a bit of DIY, and the speaker connections work perfectly well as long as you're careful to avoid shorts between the wires.
In most areas (where there's reasonably good FM reception) the tuner is almost faultless - it locks onto signals easily and only degrades gracefully if the signal is a bit weak (no nasty noises - just a gradual increase in noise). In weaker signal areas (like where I live) it's worth using a separate aerial though, at least if you want to listen in stereo rather than mono.

Excellent value
After 34 years my Ion Obelisk has finally given up the ghost, so I shopped around for a replacement. Richer Sounds have always been my local store so I popped in and ordered one (Sony STR- DH 190). I managed to install it and hooked it up to my record player, my CD player, my Apple Nano (by bluetooth) and my 34 year old Tannoy Eclipse speakers. .Brilliant sound and worth every pound of its £199 price tag.

Very good for its price
Bought to replace old but very good quality amp/speakers. Thought at this price it might be a bit warm/soft but very pleasantly surprised paired with Dali Spector 2. Sound is very good and clear, not entirely convinced about 100watts - feels more like a third of it but ample for a big room.
Easy to use, Bluetooth works very well from iPads and phones, plenty of inputs. At £200 it’s hard to find anything to criticise.

Fantastic service
Bought some cable from the Spitalfields store and a receiver online, staff help throughout the entire process was impeccable. So glad that this brilliant company is still booming.
