Vintage Pioneer system in Sofia
After spending 25 years without any tapes and cassette decks 2 years ago I decided to by a modest vintage Technics system. So I have bought a deck, integrated amplifier and some basic speakers. The initial enjoyment ended pretty fast. The sound was far away from acceptable quality according to my ears. So I started upgrading. When I got a decent Technics system with SB-5000 speakers I saw a picture of vintage Pioneer rack. It looked gorejeous. So I took a decision to have a similar Pioneer system dated 1979 - 1981. Step by step I have reached the present situation.
Due to the lack of space the system is located in mine kid's room.
The R2Rs - RT 707 (bottom) and RT 909
Pioneer CT-F 1250 and the first CD player P-D1
Amplifier SA 7800, tuner TX 7800, deck CT-F 900
Additionally I have stored away: CT-F 750 (top) and CT-F 700
and equalizer SG 9800, reverberator SR 303, clock DT 400 (top)
... and some tapes
Creating this system was quite a fun and excitement. It brings me joy. Even only the look brings a smile on me. The sound is decent. I'm looking for a proper turntable - Pioneer PLC 590. I really hope that when I got it i will stop buying Pioneer equipment. It's a nice hobby but a cost centre too. The future will show...
