I just remembered that in the 80´s had a AV receiver from Pioneer that was fine at the time at least for my living room , it had front and rear levels was huge and was capable of handling video and audio , i´m not sure but i think it was a VSX-9700S, that i looked for it on the internet, had...

Never found one that could be aceptable for music in stereo, had a few top model AV receivers from Denon and Pioneer, were ok, not as good as a integrated amplifier of the same price range

the 606 S3 were very good sounding, that i can tell you the FMP 4 don´t even are apealing to me maybe to watch a tv sitcom or any other type of show, for music the 606 S3 or 604 S3 are amazing, currently i´m using some CDM7 from B&W. only AI ,i wouldn´t take it in consideration , maybe what...

CDM7 B&W and A-91D Pioneer

speakers active ones, a bad choice, can buy a amplifier and speakers with better sound with the same budget

DD67000 speakers from JBL , or Utopia Grande Evo from Focal Progression S350 from Dan D´Agostino ,both control and power amplifier(the relentless are very good too, maybe e a bit better) TechDas airforceone III a nice turntable cartridges there are several that work good with it SACD/CD...

No receiver from Pioneer sounds better than what was built untill 1979, lot´s of options and superb sound , new speakers just make´em top sound quality if we aren´t talking in 25.000€ to 50.000€ each component. Only today they are very old , they need to be restored to original...

Nice piece of furniture, i´ve seen others in metal and wood and they look very good at the same time protected against children, and good choice of speakers, i´m still using more the old CDM7 from B&W but i´m going to look for some Pro Ac (if in second hand)or some from Canton ,i heard some and...

i don´t know both options but the main problem with the SL-1200 arm was always because of cartridges not so compatible with it´s arm, that is excelent, worked 35 years with two Sl-1200 mk II bought new,at home had others with better sound or cartridges but in a time that even professional...

I think every being looks cool with sunglasses and a electric guitar, even my ex-wife(when i write ex-wife, i feel a kind of a shivering inside)

My father passed away almost 5 years ago, he made me caught the bug, i´m a hoarder of hi-fi components colector(more fancy), never had problems with all my better halfs , i think i´m a pentagon! but whenever someone used to go to my home, they would be crazy wanting this or that and like...

The correct association in "...phile" from the "Latim" is love , audio loosely is in English , High-fidelity also a English term, loosely in a different sentence can be vague or the opposite of tight. My knowledge comes from studying Latim, English and my original language, Portuguese comes...

Didn´t even think of it, but was a nice car ,not that many on the roads also a unique model for the brand at the time, it´s a way better driving experience than a IBIZA FR , it ´s not that good or average, i say this because i know well old cars and had some and my father colected them, by the...

Yes, not with the 2m black from ortofon, but with other i bought first by reading the specifications, the Grado prestige Gold III ,it´s a lot better with very low sound, only having bought a thorens pre-amplifier ,it´s louder, also have a Sl-3310 and a SL-3100 (77, both) with 207C cartridges...

i used to prefer Pioneer turntables but as a dj had two SL-1200mk II, now i sold both my dj turntables and started to use technics turntables at home, and also have from other brands but now i´m a technics guy, have three in the same room and they sound very good with original cartridges...
