5.0 out of 5 stars Good choice, November 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: ONKYO TX-8211 Stereo Receiver (Electronics)

I needed a basic stereo receiver to play my old LP's and cassette tapes as well as my newer CD's. The Onkyo TX8211 does it all very well. Good sound, easy hookup,low price, and adequate power. Yes, 50 watts is sufficient power for a normal sized room. It is obvious that the previous reviewer does not own an Onkyo TX8211 or has even gone to the store to look at one, or he would know that this receiver does come with a built in phono input. The alternate to this receiver is the ... Sony STR-DE185 but the Sony would require the addition of a ...phono preamp adapter to play LP's so the total price is back up .... The ...Onkyo will save you a lot of hassle and give you slightly better numbers (THD, etc.) than the Sony albeit the Sony is a 100 watt system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Onkyo TX8211, February 9, 2003

This review is from: ONKYO TX-8211 Stereo Receiver (Electronics)

Overall a well-equipped receiver with enough power to keep most listeners happy. I chose this model for its excellent price and phono input. I'm pleased with the crisp clean sound. A few drawbacks keep this unit from perfection. The remote only controls volume and input source, although there are plenty of controls for other Onkyo components, which may eliminate the need for multiple remotes. Also the Tape 2 input is intended as a monitor that overrides other inputs when selected and must be turned off before listening to other sources, a minor inconvenience. Tape to tape recording capabilities are limited, if not impossible.

If you are looking for an inexpensive Stereo receiver that sounds GREAT this is it! This is NOT an AV Receiver and does not claim to be. It does exactly what it was designed for and that is play great sounding stereo music. I bought to use in my office at work and Love it. The unit comes on when I walk in at 7 AM and stays now till I leave around 5:30 PM and have NEVER had any problems with this unit. Unlike my Sony unit I have at home that cost me 3 times more money. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to an Onkyo unit, you will not regret it!!
