Cambridge Audio Sonata Ar 30 Stereo Receiver

Works like a dream with my Cambridge audio receiver bought in 2011. A great receiver, on which I can now play all the music on my iPhone and iPad. An incredible bargain. One-minute installation.

Fits well and hold well in my Sonata.

this works great with my wireless lav receiver that combines 2 channels of audio into a stereo output. This cable isolates the two channels so I can record the channels separately into a recorder.

I bought this about a month ago to replace a 34 year old (!) Sony Stereo receiver. The old one had AM-FM receiver capability. This one only has FM Receiver built-in, but it sounds a lot cleaner than the older model. This one has fewer output jacks than my older one, but is more than adequate for my setup (Sony Stereo Cassette Deck - going on 20 years now also !), and a bluetooth Audio-Technica Record Player. This model also contains the regular size headphone jack AND a standard audio output jack on the front for older style cassette players, walkman's, etc. Very unusual feature but useful for me as I still use some of that older gear from time to time. I primarily bought and use this product for its bluetooth capability which works excellently. I have my phone, and computer able to play music to it through bluetooth. I realize bluetooth specs don't carry the full frequency range for a lot of audio musical pieces (such as classical music), but for the everyday average pop music it's just fine. This is a great entry level unit for a person who is not an audio-phile. I also bought this because of Sony durability in its products. This thing is built like a brick. Good design accents, solid metal frame, heavy duty components. I will always buy Sony products - good balance between cost, design, and functionality. Couldn't be happier with this product.

After my stereo receiver died, I needed a way to play my old vinyl music. I got this preamp to connect my turntable to my PA System! So now it's nice and loud, and full sounding. Note: You still will need to ground your turntable to your audio power chassis, or you'll hear hum. Remedy: Wire audio ground wire (not power ground) up to a screw on the back of your audio system.

Worked perfectly to transfer stereo audio from a computer to a stereo receiver. Also required a mini stereo female RCA to L&R male RCA jack adapter. Used for playing on-line music.

The best stereo receiver I’ve ever owned! If you want the best, this is it!

This stereo receiver was one of my better online purchases!

In planning to replace my 30+ year old system, I wanted do eschew the traditional stereo components and take a more modern approach. There were a few requirements I set for consideration of my new audio system. -A compact footprint to fit our downsized living space. -A system built around music streaming services. -Ability to play audio from my television, turntable and multiple networked devices. -Keep within a modest budget. -Audiophile sound quality. The Sonos5 met all these requirements in a single box. The speaker yields impressive room-filling stereo sound. The only negative, is the lack of real stereo separation from a single enclosure. (You can add a second Sonos 5 for a full stereo separation effect).

I wanted a stereo speaker system for a backyard movie night for up to 30 or so people. For my purpose, this system is great and plenty loud. There is no latency with the bluetooth so the audio is in sync with the movie. That makes the setup easier since I don't have to have an audio cable from the iPad to the speakers. The stands seem very solid as well. I haven't tried the microphone, so I can't comment on its quality. The only caveat I would mention is that the sound does seem a bit narrow and if you position them in a certain way it can make the sound feel a little odd if you're sitting in the center-front.
