Nice Sx1980 (Great shape)@ Shaun: There has been lots of silver-faced Pioneer gear come into IA, as of late. And it sells quickly. A second pairing of a Spec 2 power amp and Spec 1 preamp is available and the Pioneer SX-1980 receiver, with original factory packing carton, which was listed @ $11K a short time ago, just sold.

It's getting pretty tempting for me to sell my own SX-1980.

Their all nice. but I like the way the SX-X50 Fm tuning knob spins, you can spin it fast.They are all crazy, even the junkers.
I'd like a 980 (minimum) as they have real wood veneer, but I don't need much higher than that. My 880 is quite nice now, but if I can only have one, might as well get real wood.
I prefer the dark meters on the x80 series v. the x50 series personally.
I also have the SX-1050 Its nice, The pioneer tape is one of the best w TDK and had amazing Recordings, touch to work on them, tape desk had a lot of belts which are hard to at (you need a system to keep track when taking them apart and time)I sold a few premiere vintage audio components back in 2014 to afford my Pioneer SX-1980. One of the pieces I sold was a beautiful Pioneer SX-1050 receiver. I never thought the prices, fetched for an SX-1980, would become this high. Glad I got mine when I did.

I have a Pioneer SG-9500. I bought one from Lee years ago and sold it, a couple of years ago, as I wasn't using it much in my system. There was/is a demand for this equalizer to complement the rest of the silver-faced Pioneer components. But, now I have another one which came in a bulk-buy ( I spoke of earlier in this thread). I haven't pulled it out of the packing carton, yet.
