This system doesn't belong to me, but it is one I put together for a good friend of mine as his wedding gift. While he isn't what I would call an audiophile, he loves music, and just wants to listen. So the theme of this system was best sound within the budget while being easy to use. The receiver in this system is a Sony STRDH190. This 100w 2 channel receiver just came out in March, and while I was hesitant to buy it with out having any reviews, it was the only one available that would meet my requirements of Bluetooth and a MM phono input. From the moment I picked up the box I knew we had something here, as it was pretty hefty for its size. This receiver is built with a good quality, and all features including the Bluetooth streaming worked fantastic. It even has a few thoughtful touches such as a "Pure Direct" feature that turns out the display to minimize emi interference, selectable impedance, and an adjustable phono volume offset feature. I think its a shame no reviews caught on to this receiver, as after holding it and listening to the results it might be the best modern budget pick for a 2 channel system. Moving on, Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-BS22-LR bookshelf speakers were selected for their reputation as the budget speaker pick, I paired them with Sanus speaker stands. I selected a turntable from my personal collection, a Technics Quartz Direct Drive SL-QD33. This table was my first, and it is in great shape. I serviced it, and put on a new Grado Prestige Green1 T4p cartridge I had. I selected this table because I knew it wouldn't give my friend any trouble as it is very reliable, it sounds better than anything you can buy new on a budget, and it is automatic. It was hard leaving it with my friend, but I knew he appreciates it as much as I do. Interconnects are AudioQuest Evergreen, the speaker wire 16 gauge Rocketfish oxygen free copper. I also got him everything he could need, such as the AudioQuest Anti-Static record brush with gold contacts, oil for the turntable, and a magic eraser to clean the stylus. I was really impressed with this system's sound, and as per the theme, it was easy to use and affordable. I would recommend this exact combo to anyone looking to start out in 2 ch audio or vinyl while retaining your modern Bluetooth streaming.
