Any other Sony STR-V4 Owners?

Any other Sony STR-V4 owners out there? I picked one up last July and I have loved every minute of it since! The 55 watt output is conservative...It hits way above it's rating. I have is hooked up to a couple Sony SSCS5 bookcase speakers and a Sony SACS9 powered sub and man does it sound good! It is powering a couple sources such as my Technics SL-D2 turn table, an old Sony CD player and iPad Pro for streaming Apple Music and Tidal. Just curious to see what other owners think?

These are nice units. A guy on audio asylum restored his and says it's the best he has heard.

I have one I restored last year hooked up to my computer with a Sound Blaster AE-5, and KEF Q150's. Also have a Tidal Sub. Looks and sounds amazing.

V6 owner. Bought it in basket case condition. Blown outputs, beverage bath (like cherry Coke or something), filthy in and out. After much love I have it to an almost acceptable level. Still have issues on the tuner board. Sounds very good but it’s HUGE.

I have the little V2. Not quite in the class of its big brothers, but still "nice." I'd love to find a V7 in pristine condition. (For cheap.)

I have had a V4 for quite a while. It is a nice, clean-sounding unit. I have not recapped this one.

The headphone out is also very good sounding.
