Sony STR-DG520 5.1 Audio Video Receiver - Black
Sonos BU130 Digital Music System Used Prices, Does Exactly What It Claims, But A Bit Pricey.
Does Exactly What It Claims, But A Bit Pricey, Strengths: one hour and was set up.
Excellent customer support.
Great wireless range (we have problems with wireless phones, but the signal went Sonos 50 'through the old plaster walls and ceilings, no problem).
Excellent sound quality.
Tractor album art on their own.
Intuitive remote. Learning on the fly.
A lot of Internet radio stations and Sirius radio capabilities.
Weaknesses: very expensive.
Must use the wheel controller, no recognition touch screen.
A bit 'out-dated without video capabilities.
Needs its own wireless network device with at least one cable to your computer. Need a Bridge Zone $ 99, if you do not want to leave a complete unit is connected to the computer.
Not play protected songs on iTunes (most of them purchased from iTunes are protected).
Can only handle 50k songs, so if you have a large hard drive for music you can not spend it all at once.
Not up and down controls for the radio channel Sirius. must go to the menu w / track wheel to change channels. Also need to add $ 2.99/month to upgrade account to Internet radio, if you already have an account Sirius.
Managing music is not very robust.
Overall, its awesome, but at a price. For $ 999 for the combo it should not have many of the issues I mentioned. If the price does not mean anything to you, then it is five stars.

| Review by Thomas W. Chilek (USA) 2010-07-02 I bought this Sony turntable or about April 30, 2010 in order to play my Beatles records. I think vinyl is the only way to play the Beatles and this wonderful turntable allows me to do just that. It produces a rich sound and full stereo, CD player blows. However, I must admit that I'm also a good stereo amp. The Sony Tur... Read more Sony PSLX250H Turntable reviews | ||

| Review by S. Jones (Schenectady) 2010-09-01 Comfortable style and substance, but the poorer the sound of my old, cheap turntable Fisher. Worse, promises to take the computer, but I followed the (minimal) instructions and nothing happened - so I offered the phone and the Internet in the booklet, and both said they do not support the product (in the book where appear). Wow. With this product... Read more Sony PS-LX300USB USB reviews | ||
