Customer Reviews
 nice-old school component by W. Gillespie
A sweet receiver with a big volume knob, a phono pre-amp, and no provision for “video” inputs. This is for record players and other stereo RCA-jack-equipped audio components. Nothing that would surprise a guy who bought his last stereo in the 1980s–I should know. Sound is fantastic. It has a couple of knobs and buttons I haven’t had before, but I understand what they do and they are truly useful. Having bought this, I look forward to stubbornly refusing to upgrade my gear (or own a television) for another two decades. Music! Music!
Great Product by T. Blomlie
This is one receiver that will except the old style turn tables. Everything went great with this, the set up was easy, programing the tuner was great. Just a nice product.
Outstanding performance by Michael H. Mueller
I purchased this receiver to replace an Onkyo that died. It is worth every penny paid; in fact I’m not sure what you could improve on w/more expensive receivers. The radio has incredible sensitivity compared to my Onkyo. I live 40+ miles from any major city and get great reception now with the provided wire/loop antennas. I listen mostly to pipe organ, choral and classical music. Listening to my pipe organ CDs, you’d swear you’re sitting right in front of the pipes — unbelievable clarity.
The amp has no trouble driving Bose 301 8 ohm 75watt speakers, easily filling a large room with beautiful sound. The other reason I purchased this reciever was the low level phono input for my turntable input. Works perfectly. I’ve tried, but do not use the equalizer control — not needed in my opinion.
Still the best by Joseph G. Murray
My RX-595 just died on its 10th birthday. Its grandchild, the RX-397, was at the funeral and I hired her on the spot. She is a worthy successor — pure, clean sound for my classical collection and noise free reception from distant FM stations. With other reviewers I hightlight the “pure direct” feature which can bypass all treble, bass, and loudness filters, including balance control, to give the listener the most perfect sound possible. At its $200+ price there is simply nothing in its price range that can compete.
