PIONEER SX-525 STEREO RECEIVER * BEAUTIFUL TUBE-LIKE SOUND * Introduction
VERY NICE, X-CLEAN, EXPERTLY SERVICED, WORKS AND SOUNDS LIKE NEW
EXCEPTIONALLY MUSICAL;
Audiophiles know very well that these low power vintage receivers have sweeter sound than the big ones;
Lower voltages are easier to control and implement.
Surprisingly loud too, when needed
All-original (except new lamps), never blown, no repairs.
Fully tested, everything works.
Clean in and out, dust-free, smoke-free, all lights work (bulbs replaced with matched 8V dial / 6V Stereo);
All controls deoxed/lubed using pro grade D100/G5, move smoothly, are noise-free;
All potentiometers inside deoxed,
MPX Stereo adjustment done;
Bias adjustments all done.
This Pioneer will be tested for local Ottawa area buyer at the front door with FM radio, turntable, CD player and speakers;
Can be shipped, keep reading.
Early (pre-1976) Pioneer receivers are known for their outstanding deep tube-like, very much life-like sound and excellent build quality, crafted to last one's lifetime.
