Pionner SA-5200

[phergus_25]

I have to say that there have been alot of things in audio that have suprised me, and this is deff one of them. I bought this reciever off of e-bay fo $55 shipped from Canada, not a cheap shipping charge, and I couldent be happier.
It has a Phono stage, tuner input and two Auxs. Its rated at 10 watts but I have the volume to about 8'oclock and its making these insignia speakers sound great.
If anyone is looking for a cheap solution to power some speakers then I would deff suggest an older Pioneer amp.

This is not a receiver, it is an integrated amp...(receiver has tuner on it)...I know what you mean, honestly and deff I miss my SA-6500II sometimes...

My bad, I ment to say that, but it didnt come out. but for the price I think that this is far better than any thing I could have gotton new.

Iv always though that the older stuff looked amazing. I plan to add a tube buffer stage internally as well as replace the side MDF peices with some solid wood.
