The price was great and the receiver met all of our needs, including a phono input/output. We purchased this receiver recently and we are very pleased with its performance. Very pleased.
Money well spent. For the average person who does not have golden ears this receiver has plenty of power with no noise or coloration added to the sound processed through it. Onkyo receiver has plenty of power to drive my Advent floor standing speaker. I play a lot of LP Disk on a Daul Turntable and the premap on the Onkyo add no coloration or noise. I recomend this receiver.
I was stunned. I could get Eric to sing really loud, but he couldn't take off the clothespin or get too far up out of the can. I found a local guy who diagnosed and fixed my Marantz for less than $80. I wanted to replace a 35 year old Marantz 1060 amplifier that had started blowing fuses. I got this thing and set it up and played a record and it sounded like Clapton was singing down inside a big can with a clothespin clamped to his nose. I gave it one star because you can plug it in and turn it on.
The service center was rude and unhelpful (hung up without telling me where to send it). Now I have to pay for shipping, will be without the receiver for at least a month since the service center in Colorado has a 14 day turnaround just on diagnostics, then 2 weeks to fix, then time to ship back. After reading the reviews, I was looking forward to getting my new receiver (old one, Sony, broke down after 20 years of use, I can't complain). I am not a happy Onkyo customer and will not buy their product again. Hope this saves someone else my same grief. New receiver broke down after less than 6 weeks. Buy Sony.
It is enough to fill my small listening space with plenty of warm vinyl sounds. Not a big deal to most. My vinyl sounds very nice through this piece. but. with a small listening room in a town home it is needed.
The features are also well laid out. This receiver puts out plenty o clean swat. Not too many receivers offer this amp and a phono input at this budget. It is hands down better than my previous kenwood integrated amp. The receiver is fairly transparent. Okay now for the good stuff. It pumps out plenty o watts for the buck.
The bass and treble controls are at a nice frequency as well. It cost me a whopping 152.00 refurbished. With all the nice clean onkyo features they left out the loudness contour. Budget audiophiles rejoice. However, one thing bothers me. While it is no way my deceased marantz 2270 it is a heck of a deal. I have this attached to two koss cm 1030 towers from 1981, an audio source dual 10 band eq, and a fisher 6330 turntable with a shure mx97e cart installed.
I warn you, feed this guy some larger speakers because it will more than likely destroy most inferior models.
