Pioneer PD-S95 cd transport

I have had one for about 7 years now, and I still love the way it sounds, looks and operates. It is so luxurious. The case is made from individual panels of thick machined aluminum, and there is even a thin layer of rubber gaskets between them for additional damping.
The inside is a work of art, with everything clad in copper. I have never had a moments problem with it, and the clamping system is the best ever. No detail was left to chance with this transport, and if the price is right, I'd say buy it. It's a classic.
What is the askng price? That's a factor for sure, since it's an older piece.

George,
I think we are talking about 2 different things. There was a PD S P5 with a dac, but mine is simply a transport, and there is indeed a machined platter. I had also heard that the casework of this other model was pressed steel, I believe it was something I read on the vintage knob.

George,
I don't understand what you are saying. You show a picture of the PD S95, which is indeed just like mine, but you said yours had a sub par DAC. This model doesn't have a DAC, so I don't see how your's could be the same. It's clearly marked transport.

I hear you George. Mine doesn't have one. It's a dedicated transport, and it doesn't have a plastic platter. It's all lathe turned aluminum.
Thanks, John

Stereo5,
I agree. I also bought a used PD 65 on the advice of a dealer, and enjoyed it for several years before buying the PD S95 and mating it with an Audio Note DAC. I found it full bodied and colorful as well as balanced.
I thought that the PD 65 was excellent, and so did my friends. I kept it as a backup in my garage, but when I went to use it a couple of years later, 1 channel was out, so I got rid of it. Great player for the money though, and the stable platter was a great idea.
