Pioneer PD-S504 Stable Platter Mechanism VS Pioneer PD-7100 test

The advantage is that even little damaged cd's played good while the pd-7100 skipped them. This cd player also read cd-r. The sound is a bit harsh when compared with the pd-7100

I'm gonna tell you a secret. All cd players sound equals. Have you tried to identify a cd player with a double blind test? I've tested cd players with sound analyzers, and all are the same, but that is not enough, there are some characteristics or "faults" that the sound analyzer detect but, audiophile ears don't. The most important in a CD player is the capability of play cd without cuts, noises or other reproduction problems. And, I'm tired of seing shittiest capacitors replaced by "audiophiles". The "audiophiles" causes more problems that real solutions.

Have to agree. The PD 7100 sounds a little cleaner and more open! But the older Pioneer is not bad for the price! I have an old Sony I got for $9 U.S. That is adequate with vintage gear and old speakers. I find Vintage gear tends to "soften' digital sources in general, make them sound warmer and more musical. Here's a cheap system that will sound pretty darned good. Any OLD SU-V Technics Integrated New Class A or AA amp-circa early '80s--85 watts x 2 or greater ($20-40) A pair of Boston Acoustics A-100s (two way 10" acoustic suspension) ($60) ANY '90s Sony CDP original MSRP over $250 which you can buy for $10-20 U.S. used. For around $100 U.S. you can have a more than decent system! I run one of these in my basement. Very musical, good sound stage, imaging, and decent bass for a sealed 10"-will play to 39 Hz (+/- 3db)! However, my best player is a Jolida Music Van MKIV (a two stage, four tube CD player). There is something about TUBE players that is satisfying. I also have a newer Harman Kardon HD 990 player (MSRP $499/SALE PRICE $399) which sounds pretty good with modern gear. Though I do believe that the Marantz SA 8004/5 series is the best price to performance CDP one can presently buy at the $1000 price point and below (I know that's pricey, so I don't have one myself, lol).

The boston speakers are hard to get here. but indeed the rest you mentioned is very good priced. it is always the trick to find the good stuff for the lowest price possible. New stuff out the shop is almost always equal priced but old stuff you can find for a real bargain. My living room setup i have complete for 200 euro! 200 euro because that is what i paid for the speakers. The akai am-93 with matching tuner and cd player i bought for 150, sold the cd player for 165 so what is left I had for free, It is hard to beat that system for a price under 4000 euro new in the shop.

Hee andre weer een leuke video ik heb een Pioneer pd 9700 gehad dat was een mooie speler .

[@asklipieionvita8736]

Hello.How is the sound of this cd player? Treble is soft, neutral or harsh?The bass is deep or just adequate?I found one SL-PS670D used.Is it warm sounding in general or cool sounding?

[@grahamevans9606]

I had a PDS 703.... beautifully detailed CD player, and built like a tank.

[@XX-121]

sucks you had to remove the audio. but thanks for your opinion.

[@tomelesss]

S504 has richer honey sound - like musician - bb

[@andrewcrain5461]

love me some George Benson!

[@vintagestereo]

in fact, george benson is one of my all time favorite artists. perfect guitar player, beautiful songs

[@olaniyi570]

The top pioneer has a stable platter mechanism the bottom one doesn't

[@iris3186]

If there is a difference in sound, well I can't see it.

[@vintagestereo]

to be true, when testing, i heard a clear difference but could not tell what it was while i was filming. When the buyer heard the difference( i also let him hear the pd-7100) he told in 30 seconds that the s504 sounded sharper and only than i knew what the difference was in words. I am not strong in describing sound differences. I hear them but hard to put my finger on it where the difference really is.

[@vintagestereo]

btw, he didn't mind that the 7100 sounded better, he paid after all only 15 euro for it, thanks for the tip about the zero 5's, my nephew is very happy with them.

[@iris3186]

vintage stereo in my country Magnat Zero 5 is 265 euros.

[@ariesoro1098]

7100 more clear.

[@PandoraStyle1969]

Табло умерло.

[@grahamevans9606]

I think the PDS 504 was one of the last stable platter players with Legato Link Technology....the 505 was possibly the last around 1995/6. The standard one was approx £200 when new....but you could buy a special edition one for almost double!!!!!!!

[@darko7633]

15 euro....man... where i live ..in Serbia 50euro. 7100 60-70 euro ....😭 PS:PD 7100 won.

[@openheimer968]
