Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
My Pioneer SA-9800 from 1970 Usually use it with my vintage Pioneer and Stax gear. Great performance and flat/linear character, best amp to pair with 600 ohm or old school electret headphone.- kuantings

Review by 'kuantings' on item 'Pioneer MASTER-1s'
The sound of master 1s is trully great for its size, especially the lower end. As you can see the NOS arrived with deteriorated ear pad and it still sound good with lot of bass extension. Even after removed the pad I listen with no pad at all still sound amazing to me. I think the Variable...- kuantings

[DIY Project] Pioneer SE-700RP: T50RP drivers --> Pioneer SE-700 (56k don't even try)
Any new update yet? I just re-upholster my SE-700 with cream white self adhesive leather, it looks much more 2014 now. Will add some pictures later. It is time to find a way increase the bass response, anyone have a thought on this? (Maybe tape mod like SE-500 by Takato?)- kuantings
