😍😍😍😍😍. Kids with phones and Bluetooth speakers will never understand

[@RUfromthe40s]

mine but grandson told him" with those things in your ears you´ll never touch my components ,either than deaf you´ll be living in the 40´s" "what?" to what i replied "See"

[@ogoshen]

I have an SX 3800 and it was the nicest unit back in the day. I think I'm going to take it out of it's home and have it recapped and set it up again. Thanks for the excitement they are great receivers.

[@RUfromthe40s]

i think i could live all my life by using the sx-1980 ,but i have a lot more, i colect hi-fi components all my life since late 60´s but i own a late 50´s early 60´s complete system in mono from my grandfather, the one who passed to me this sickness(healthy one),i always have the loudness on, maybe a bit of treble or bass depending on the record

[@edithboozy1000]

5:04 Ok this entire sequence with the cameraman wrenching and snapping each knob and switch really triggered me.

[@isiahbethel5956]

didn't like that either

[@robertgunter6540]

Great demo with Bob Marley music. I once owned a Pioneer receiver. it was a less Powerful model. The sound of Pioneer was always classified as having tight bass and crispy treble. NICE!

[@roninnovastar1321]

The light blue leds look great !!

[@carlwood7588]

Amazing how clean this reciever is for its age,i love the recievers of that era,curenttly i own a sx1250

[@0AlphaAndOmega0]

You were conceived to such reciever

[@anthonyj.lobreto5544]

I just bought my old Sansui G9000 back it's very comparable to your 1250 but I'm not even going to plug it in it's going straight to the shop for service and or rebuild.

[@anthonyj.lobreto5544]

Plus I have XLS215's but they are married to bridged Crown amps

[@Audiomainia2310]

Nicest SX Pioneer receiver I've seen on years.

[@RUfromthe40s]

in the 90´s i also bought some three ways huge cerwin vegas with high quality finishings cost me at the time 1.000€´s each speaker ,and tested them with my SX-1980 but went to my new Nakamichi system ,what´s funny is all the ones i knew that were hi-fi enthusiasts all said to do not buy them ,what happened is that i had the best sound at home compared to my friends weird brands systems, audiophiles?!it´s a sickness if it sounds strange and it´s expensive they buy it ,than when in my house "what a sound!!!"

[@dannyrobles2668]

Beautiful sound bro beautiful look also! Great choice of music also! But tell your camera man to go easy on them knobs 🤦🏽‍♂️. I have a sx1080 love it will never get rid of it

[@rgmb12]

Yeah, that hurts poor knobs🤕

[@johnmorris3776]

I wish you went with the soft white or warm led lights. I think it would look a lot better. Just my opinion. I'm sure I'll get flamed for it🔥😃.

[@MarcoAGJ]

Good stuff.

[@LouisToteda]

Awesome!!!!!!

[@alexandershi-fiworld5090]

[@alexandershi-fiworld5090]

[@keithgilliard9191]

I love No Need for a sub with good speakers.....

[@chadergeist]

Sounds like it is in a huge hallway with that reverb. At 4:49...it sound very muddy.

[@roninmotors7466]

awesome video, was that first song Pearl Jam?

[@wsongco]

Cool

[@michaelgiovanetti7454]

That's funny I had the same pioneer and A pair of at15 Vegas

[@NeverTalkToCops1]

Just sold a 1980 I got from a yard sale, water damaged, for $25.00. Sold to an enthusiast in The Baltic States for $12,500.

[@josefbuckland]

Hey that’s a killer combo this Bloke has a similar setup - KZbin Josef Hi-Fi

[@ClarenceDoskocil]

Crank some METAL. Put this to the test.

[@Carlosaguilar-pe8fx]

Beautiful 😍

[@rgmb12]

Why did he turn the knobs so fast , 🤕

[@HarmonicMolecues]

You are choking the Vegas with that thin wire, get at least 12 gouge wire on those babies

[@eemgee9185]

oddly enough, it sounds fine. I thought the same thing when I saw that "lamp cord" (what the performer that works for audioquest refers to them when he's evangelizing the spectators at the hifi show). If it were my set of cerwin's, I would use better wire for sure. 12ga, 5ft, nylon covered, banana plugs preinstalled and soldered on, $30.

[@edithboozy1000]

Ya no buddy. Thats not how electricity works. This setup is perfectly fine with 16awg. Learn a bit more before you give out bad advice.

[@HarmonicMolecues]

@@edithboozy1000 depending on length of wire with low impedance and the current you plan to push along with back EMF you could be starving the low end drivers causing them to choke: fact

[@ogoshen]

Dude I was thinking the same think. Right on...😁

[@HandMade715]

How much and do you still have it?

[@HandMade715]

Do you still have the school 1980??

[@bidenneedshisbuttwiped]

Should have kept the original lighting

[@jimeagle6636]

they say the sx-1250 sounds better

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

Techs who work on these for a living seem to agree that the 50-series is built better than the 80-series, i.e., more "over-built", with heavier heat sinks and direct, point-to-point wiring, which resists heat better when pushed hard. Pioneer started cutting corners with build quality on the 80-series.

[@johnestes705]

I have a pioneer sx-1250 that I would like to sell as is . It needs cleaning . Make offer

[@God-has-entered-into-my-body]

well, it works, but sound isnt natural. almost like not seperation of music, and way to much treble

[@Witchhunter33724]

Who’s the goober flipping the knobs. Lol

[@johnsmirky3955]

Wth? What , 24 gauge speaker wire for power hungry vegas? Who rhe heck flips and spins switches like that?😢

[@GiVeMeAbReAkWaKeUp]

Wow speaker cable is thin as fuck lol

[@isiahbethel5956]

heard better
