I have been blessed to buy a Mint Pioneer 59txi with remote from this rich guy in a Lexus for $180.00. It is a museum piece. She is heavy, complex, and absolutely beautiful sounding. Prior, I had the excellent Nakamichi AV-10 that would not die. My ears have been accustomed to a very refined sound. I’m disabled these days. I don’t have the capital to replace it. I don’t know how reparable it is. I have enjoyed many Haflers XL amps and several other models using MOSFET A/B. I don’t want a “d”.
You all, brothers and sisters. I need your council. If you have had work done on the pioneer, has the part streams dried up? I have a Yamaha RX-V3800 I picked up cheap. It’s proven to be a great stereo receiver, but not anywhere near Pioneer with all channels rolling. I don’t trust most sources for honest reviews. I have enjoyed many Denon AVR-3300,3805. Kids have them now, but again, not worthy.
if need arises, give me a solid used replacement that will make my RBH Si770/R speakers sing. I’m not a snob with vague attempts to show off my gear. I am chronic pain guy with a butchered and bolted lower back. I’m working on day to day survival. I have been isolated for 15 years. Music is all I have left. It’s so important to my mental health.
Thanks all
