Re: PIONEER RECEIVERS: Which One Do I Keep?

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but I have to say that you seem
to be too biased against "old stuff" to really be able to give me a
thoughtful answer.  I'm not trying to insult you, but it does seem to
me that you are one of those who thinks that "old = bad" and "new =
good".

You said it yourself - people are paying big bucks for vintage gear
like this.  You have to ask yourself: WHY are they doing it?  If there
is one area where people are very picky about getting what they paid
for, it is in the area of home audio.  If there wasn't such a demand
for certain pieces of vintage gear, the prices wouldn't be as high as
they are.  YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR more often than not!

I suggest you try to see past your obvious bias against "old stuff"
and listen--REALLY listen--to a wide variety of "old" gear.  You might
be very surprised at what you hear.

NEWER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER.  For proof of that, just listen to an
iPod.  UGH.
