i think we're whipping a dead horse here. apparently, some people look at vintage CDPs with the glass half full, whilst others see them with that glass, well... TOTALLY EMPTY.

Amen.

because that 1500 came to me via UPS. WITHOUT the transit screw installed in fact. she hasn't shown me a problem one, nothing but elegant performance. do you think i would evangelize upon a CDP this much if it wasn't something special? just because some people sometimes have shipping issues...

ya know, sometimes it hits me just how downright loathed vintage CDPs are here on AK...:grumpy:

that's good to ya! personally though, i wouldn't touch a carousel CDP with a ten foot pole!!:yes::thumbsdn:

same damn thing my 2000 model PHILIPS DVD does! and i have done my lube on that one, too! i NEED a PIONEER DV-09!!:grumpy:

:thmbsp::thmbsp::thmbsp::thmbsp::music:

amen man, AMEN.:thmbsp::music:

yea, verily! seconded... DENON DCD-1500 Lady Ayeka Custom (1986/2008)

that's an easy fix. lube the tray drive gears, the gear track along the side of the tray, and any guide shafts. you can use a light household oil for this. i used the same on my DENON DCD-1500 and PIONEER PD-91. both open/close better than new!!

you could say that. it was my very first serious stereo reciever, and has held strong and fast against pretty much every other receiver i have ever seen. and believe me, i've seen just about every one worth seeing. really, the only gripe i have with the unit is the lack of rosewood panels...

PIONEER uses the same concept for their SR remote system. any cable with stereo or mono miniphones on either end will do. in fact, i think just about every japanese manufacturer's 12v trigger based system remote control system was sourced from the same OEM. case in point? i once hooked the...

indeed, mint only in the cosmetic sense. unless of course you happen to find some NOS. i recall a story a few years back about this guy that found TWO identical NOS 1970's PIONEER receivers at a store in canada. i also recall that they were the TOTL directly before the SX-1980 came out. (i...

this is pretty much my favorite DAT deck... SONY DTC-75ES (1989) i am currently working on obtaining one, in fact. it will be my very first DAT. the technology has always fascinated me...

i'd say that these bad boys here prove quite clearly that quality existed WELL past 1972... PIONEER VSX-D1S (1990) PIONEER SX-1980 (1978)

welcome, dude!!:thmbsp::music:

when you're done listening you can always grill yourself up a nice thick steak. you don't even have to leave your listening room to do it!!

such as these... CT-M5R CT-M6R CT-WM77R

is the "Almighty" SX-1980 really that overrated? granted, 1970's gear isn't my cup of tea, but even i want one!! still, i'd never do with out my trusty daily steed here...

i dunno, that backwards tilt bugs the hell out of me.:thumbsdn: i guess i just like "Monkey Coffins" is all...

you swiped those from Donkey Kong's living room, didn't you?:nono:

SONY CDP-101 (1982)
