Newbie Cuda440 here.
Ever since the day I walked into a stereo store in San Jose, California and faced an enormous Pioneer rack, dominated by an RT-909, playing "Old Judge Jones" by Les Dudek, I've been a fan (though my first "real" stereo was a diminutive Sansui 331, all I could afford in high school). The rack was beautiful with all those blue meters dancing and it sounded fantastic.
Fast forward (pun intended) 40 plus years and I find myself in need of a cassette deck last fall. What a better time to scratch my decades old Pioneer itch and go with a vintage deck? And so I scored a CT-1250 on ebay, currently my only piece of vintage Pioneer gear.
I'll post another thread later requesting recommendations from the forum on where to go from here with outfitting a system, as well as one about the 1250 (minimally refurbished, works great).
For now I just wanted to say hi.
