    Default Pioneer amplifiers

    Used to own a Pioneer SA-706, and loved it. Kept it for 17-years, until it was beyond repair. Ideally I would love another one at some point: Not necessarily the same model but something like a SA-7800. Just love the dancing wattage lights or VU meters, great aesthetics compared to most modern amps. However, I'm choked off a little by the reliability of an amp of that vintage.

    No issues with the Leema, a real hoot to listen to, but like most modern equipment they're a little bland to look at.

    Your views on 1970s and 80s Pioneer amps, please.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
