| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? Define "back in the day", please. When are you talking about, archison? | |
| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? I have a very good integrated. That being said, I think the very best will be high quality separates. If you want the most value for your dollar, that likely will be a single component. If you're not worried about the budget, that's different. L. | |
| What cable is best? I own both versions. They're very close, although the Corona is still very new. When I bought the Red Wave a year or so ago, I was amazed. | |
| What cable is best? The Corona is wound in a counter-spiral. No mention of that with the Red Wave cord. | |

| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? My next amp won't have volume control, either. If I want the music louder, I'll just move closer. In all seriousness, my integrated amp has all that old-school stuff. Bass, treble, balance, loudness. Most of the time, it isn't used, and is in fact... | |
| How many people here generally buy used? Some of each. Used comes into play when I couldn't afford to buy new. | |

| have you ever bought stereo without listening first I was able to listen to my first pair of good speakers before I bought them. Almost everything else, the opposite was true. The integrated amp was the biggest leap for me, probably due in part to it being a big leap money-wise as well. No regrets. | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? Yes, contrary to one of the posts above. If a company builds a crappy product and sells it for a high price with ridiculous claims, that’s one level, and should eventually sort itself out in the free market. If an overseas company builds an out an... | |
| Unreal prices I had a lot of fun doing it, and learned some things. I assumed you had a bit of knowledge on the subject when you mentioned the 'current limiting device'. You have a great receiver, but I'm biased towards the x50 series. All the best. | |
| Unreal prices junkman, I actually recapped my SX-750 with online help. Took forever, due to the process, but turned out great. All with the help of a few amazing folks in the Pioneer subforum at AudioKarma. | |
| Unreal prices SX-1980, Pioneer’s most powerful receiver ever. The SX-1250 is considered my many to be the better model. It might also be good to remember that the prices on these when new were not cheap. The SX-1980 in 1978 sold for $1295. The SX-1250 in 1976 w... |
