Sx-d5000

[kydog]

I just snagged a SX D5000 today for the BIN price of $135 plus shipping
It appears in excellent condition and described as in great working order with low usage from a seller with 100 percent feedback

Pictures to follow It will complement my SX D7000 & complete this rare series of receivers.

This is the last Pioneer receiver I'll end up owning when all is said and done. Likewise, I bought my absolutely mint SX-D5000 several years ago and it was under $100 shipped. I couldn't believe how big and heavy my SX-D5000 is. I had two of the SX-D7000s and sold them years ago, but kept the D5000. The reason was, that the D7000s were bringing in top dollar a couple of years ago, and yet performance-wise, there was hardly any drop-off from going down to the D5000, so I cashed in on the 7000s, and kept the inexpensive 5000 for my office system.

I'll keep the twins together for that reason I hate to be in the position of wanting the SX D7000/5000 after selling one & be priced out of the market, Especially ones in good cosmetic condition.

They do look different then most of the seventies/eighties gear, a unique bird indeed.

I agree the looks are unique, probably why I love them so much (along with my Communication Series gear). My brother was in town this past weekend for a visit, and didn't realize these SX-Ds are pushing 30 years old. I'm still amazed at how good these receivers look, sound and perform.

She finally got here safe and sound. Looks and sounds wonderful (what sounds better than a protection relay click?) I have this SX-D5000 giving my SX-D7000 a break. As Retro said, I can't tell any difference in sound or performance. Right now it appears the SX-D5000s are a great bargain, and in my opinion, one tough and good looking receiver.

Pic of my SX-D5000s (also my SA-8800 and an SX-3700 i just picked up). I think I'm almost done (lol).

There's an SX-D5000 on Chicago craigslist now for $125 if anyone's interested.

The SX D5000 arrived damaged free due to great packing from seller
Fantastic cosmetic condition with hardly a scratch on the face plate or cover.
The inners were almost dust free, So little cleaning and a lot of deoxit has it humming along
All lights working, Very quite and superb sounding unit, One of Pioneer best for sure.

For now it will see only headphone duty for late night listening This for me, will complete the SX receiver side of Pioneer Fluoroscan series.

Here's my SX-D5000:



This is my office set up. That is a new Grant Fidelity Tube DAC-09 way on top, and it is multi-tasking for me. I've got my computer, Pioneer Elite PD-65, and also use it for my Sennheiser HD-580 headphones. Then everything goes from there into the SX-D5000 and out to a pair of Design Acoustics PS-10 speakers. Awesome set up, if I do say so myself.
