Yes, the big Pioneers are the real deal
I have a SX 1250 serving duty in my beverage/kitchen area. It is serviced/CLA'd but not as you say restored.
There is a SX 1280 waiting on a restore/rebuild such as your 1250. It is already great sounding as is in CLA'd only condition.
I prefer the 1250 for looks and build quality, the 1280 wins on tec and specs.
They rotate in and out of duty.

I have an Amber Series 70 also. In fact the pre, tuner and amp as a system. Not real sure of my satisfaction with it, glad to hear your take.
Any additional thoughts?

Thanks

All I know is the more mods I make the better I like the 1250! Can't wait to hear what it sounds like with the new 22,000uf cans in place. Also going to replace all the 2.2uf electrolytic caps in the tone board with film - should help things also. Don't get me wrong, the Rowland sounds awesome, but it may have to go. We shall see!

Hi All,

I have this vintage Sony, a hand me down from my father from one of his old collections of amplifiers. I really like how it sounds on my HD800S, I have a Focal Utopia on the way and just wondering if it is safe to use this amp on it? the specs of the amp is:

Outputs : 3x Rec out (150mV / 1kOhm)
Adaptor out (150mV / 470 Ohm)
Headphones (25mW / 8 Ohm)
Speakers (2 pairs, 4...16 Ohm)

based on:

TIA

Here's my baby, Onkyo Integra A-817XD, JDM exclusive from 1988 that for reasons beyond my understanding ended up in Brazil.

That looks fantastic!!

One thought though...I guess one could argue that since Pioneer designed the system/rack, heat dissipation from the Amp should not be a concern, but I'm still alarmed by the Amp not having enough breathing room.
