Hi Toi
"However, after one investment in a stem to stern rebuild/cleaning/maintenance, my Pioneer SX 838 still "shines" in my ears. (I can hear some of you laughing!) The point is, obtain what you need to fulfil your own musical tastes."
Not me, I'm not laughing, I love my Pioneer! The Pioneer sx 3400 (have 3 of them) is one of my price no object reference amplifiers.
