Excellent Audio-Centric Receiver
on November 20, 2021
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
A great audio-centric receiver. This isn't for the home theater setup, but rather for the classic system focused on delivering high quality audio to speakers for music. With Hi-Res certification, compatible speakers will playback with an expanded dynamic range. I'm very pleased. I've got a Hi-Res Sony player, turntable, minidisc, CD, cassette, and a host of CD jukeboxes connected to this. The audio quality is excellent, and cannot be beat for total value at this price point.

Comfort & convenience in a compact Bluetooth Mouse
on November 1, 2019
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
The MS Surface Arc mouse (in any color) is a great companion mouse for any portable computing need. Don't restrict the market to just MS Surface Pro tablets or Surface Notebooks - this mouse is great for anyone who needs a mouse on the go. The Surface Arc Mouse line is comfortable, with a silicone covered body and a smooth plastic click button (that conveniently registers both left and right clicks through the single button). It also powers on and off by "snapping" down flat. I use this mouse for my MacBook Pro and my HP Folio notebooks. It stores easily in any pocket of my backpack, and the AAA batteries last a good duration and don't require intermittent charging. (Sometimes disposable batteries are actually more convenient.)

A Great Hue lamp with nice style
on November 1, 2019
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
This "Edison" Style filament lamp (don't call them bulbs) combine the proven greatness of the Philips Hue platform with new decorative stylings in the exposed "Edison" filament tradition. These Hue lamps don't generate the heat that my previous LED filament lamps did, so that is a great plus. Also, the light from these lamps does have a very warm spectrum, but doesn't suffer from the overly yellow characteristics of the LED filament lamps that they replaced. The Hue system offers great functionality across the range of Smart Home platforms. The price is a little high, but this is a great option if you need an architectural-style Smart lamp.

These Apple-designed cases fit snugly over the curves of your iPhone without adding bulk. They're made from specially tanned and finished European leather, so the outside feels soft to the touch and develops a natural patina over time. The machined aluminum buttons match the finish of your leather case, while a microfiber lining inside helps protect your iPhone. And you can keep it on all the time, even when you're charging wirelessly.Just like every Apple-designed case, it's put through thousands of hours of testing throughout the design and manufacturing process. So not only does it look great, it's built to protect your iPhone from scratches and drops.

Great case, great color.
on November 1, 2019
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
Apple provides the best fitting leather cases on the market for iPhones, and this one is color matched perfectly to the new midnight green iPhone Pro models. The case fits perfect, protects the iPhone well, and both looks and feels great. The case aligns perfectly with the camera bump. I've owned other Apple Leather cases in the past, and I will continue to do so as long as they're offered.

This is an amazing return to the open world adventure of Red Dead. This time the story has progressed to the latter days of the Wild West. The controls are tight and responsive, the visuals are exemplary, the audio is fantastic. This game is an absolute must-play. Enhanced for Xbox One X and HDR displays.

Easy assembly, fits most, good not great
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased these Sanus stands to mount my rear Samsung Atmos speakers. The stands are "universal fit" so most speakers can be mounted in one configuration or another. That said, the fittings are very tight, and the stands are stable but don't feel super solid or sturdy. They're good, not great. That said, they work, get the job done, and help avoid having to hang speakers on the walls.

A Solid Slim-fit Wall Mount for large heavy TV's
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this mount for my 82" Samsung UHD television. The mount is solid and well-built. Installation was easy using the enclosed template. I located two studs for mounting the lag bolts, and I'm pretty sure I could pull the wall down before the mount came off the wall. This bracket was perfect and worth every dollar.

This Sony receiver has a built-in power amplifier for clear, distortion-free sound, and the rigid chassis minimizes vibration.
 

Can you hook up a equalizer

I would say "it depends" on the equalizer. If the EQ has speaker-level (not Line-level) inputs, then yes. This unit does not have live-level outputs for an external amplifier.

will a power outage damage stereo receiver while on? i do have it plugged in to a power strip that is a surge protector. Thank you.

Any power disruption, surge, etc. always has the potential to damage electronics components. That said, mine is plugged into a surge-protector (not just a power strip), and I've never had any problems.

Does this have a subwoofer out to hook up powered subwoofer is it 2.1 channel

No. It's a 2.0 channel. My sub is connected to the Speaker 2 connections, then the second set of speakers connect to the sub. Sounds great.

This unit does not have a built-in Sirius XM decoder. But, if you connect your phone, you can stream Sirius XM through the receiver via Bluetooth.

How many CD do these hold?

It's a receiver, so on it's own... it does not "hold" any CDs. You can connect multiple CD players, jukeboxes, etc. I have a single disc CD player, 6x 300 disc CD changers, and 2x 200 disc CD changers connected (using a few input switches in between). I've also got a Hi-Res Sony audio player, an Onkyo Hi-MD, a U-Turn turntable, and a JVC dual cassette deck attached. This receiver is amazing for audio-centric use.

Will wireless speakers work with this unit?

Not without an external wireless "broadcaster" of some kind. The bluetooth is only for connecting to an audio source it does not send.

I assume this receiver has a built in pre-amp since it has a designated phono input. Can I connect a turntable with a built in pre-amp to the phono input? Will running the signal thru 2 pre-amps create any problems?

Yes you can. It won't cause any problems. The receiver will be able to identify that the signal does not need amplification and will not use the internal phono signal amp. You could use the phono input for another component (if you didn't have a turntable), but you cannot customize the label.

Is the lip on the case high enough to protect the face if it drops? Thx

Yes. The case edge protrudes slightly to protect the face of the phone if it lands or is set face down. That said, a fall is rarely straight down and surfaces are rarely flat - so their is no guarantee of protection.
