Modern Stereo Receivers

Use these for running lavs receivers into a mixer/recorder. No problems, but you have to be aware that it doesnt work for some devices depending on mono/stereo issues. For example this doesnt work to run a Sennheiser G4 RX unit into a single XLR input- that requires a stereo mini to split XLR channels.

Perfect replacement chord for some stereo receivers; in my case an RS 700 Yamaha receiver. Also works for some Fender guitar amplifiers. Did the job perfectly.

I purchased this STR-DH190 several weeks ago and have been very pleased. It has good sound and all the features for the modern stereo system, including Bluetooth. It is a good value and as far as I can tell beats the competition with similar units.

I have a vintage and modern hi-fi system, using an old surround sound receiver I have been using as a stereo. I don't usually care for surround anyway. My focus is music. I go from cassette and reel-to-reel to as modern as minidisc and CDs. So having great sound to hear it all is important. I found this series on a whim, and I opted for the S701 originally. I then realized the S501 suited my needs better for my size room. It's roughly a medium living space. I have these paired with some older and newer Sony speakers. Installation is super simple, and being able to use banana plugs is a huge plus. I do like the idea of having optical and coax inputs, as I can finally use my TV in an integrated amp. There is not too many on the market that can do that. One of the best parts is being able to install two recorders in the unit. This is across all the models in the range. Overall look is that perfect balance of vintage and modern. If you want that true vintage feel, go for the silver. Black suited my needs as 95% of my units are already black. Aluminum face, but plastic knobs. The knobs are still quality though. Very smooth operation. Remote is simple to understand with few functions. That might not matter to some, except for the volume control. After playing around with the bass and treble a bit to find the right sound, I realize the bass is not as deep as the previous Pioneer surround I used prior. However, I feel it is deep enough. I feel like the the sound is actually cleaner and with nice range. I like bass, but having too much could be a bad thing. Overall, the S501 is a perfect price to performance balance that will allow you to have any style of set up you want from vintage tape decks and turntables to just a stereo for watching TV or listening to CDs with. You won't be disappointed.

Modern minimalist looks that can be placed any where.

You could pay more for other high end receivers, but why would you?

Modern technology at its finest!

I am triggering my receivers at 1/4000 TTL :-)

Can use with a variety of monitors and receivers. Love it.

Cool in an old school way. Convenient in a modern way.
