Yes, those older Pioneer Elite Receivers were made in Japan. Built to last and had very cool Programming (atmosphere effects). No, those types of electronics are gone. Most everything in 2023 is junk from China.
Yes, I have a few very nice Pioneer items. Players- 59 AVi , BDP-09 , BDP-85.
Interesting system I have a pioneer elite reference receiver from 20 years ago with no HDMI connections. I use optical to connect incoming digital feeds and there are many which is very nice.
It's a really cool receiver and allows you to go from atmospheric effects , can you switch between Theater 1 Theater2, jazz, drama, and the changes spatially between these selections is very impressive. They don't do this anymore which is disappointing as far as I know.
Ja nice system, I saw the niagara 1200 with stellar reviews, I bought it. It sound good . Well built, it’s also on sale on amazon $995 with Audioquest cable.If you have not bought the wisdom cable power strip? This is a good one.
Sorry, did not mean to post the same comment three times. When I hit "post comment" the first two times I got a message that "something went wrong and to check the logs(?)". Third attempt was the charm but, as you see, the first two posts tagged along as well. Can't wait to see what happens when I hit "post comment" again.
Thank you- Slaw. Each spinner has incredible attributes. If I had to pick one, it would be the Accuphase! I was long into CDs prior to SACDs. Otherwise, the AYRE is the best player for SACD. The Esoteric, a close 2nd. I will continue to add more inventory as Time marches forward.
Wow the system is looking awesome! This is the first time I've noticed/realized you use the music direct as a timeline, very cool. I know you've put years of thought and listening into this, I cannot wait to hear the results!!!! Now hurry up and get some cables so I can come hear that beautiful system!
