The Pioneer "eXclusive" Gear Thread!

thanks for the comment clyde.

The M6 sound is great! I am very, very curious how they would sound combined with the C7..
I'll keep looking for a V7 (beware.. they are rare.. even rarer than a C7..) and if you find a C7 somewhere I'd like to hear it from you ;)

I am guessing here but I think C7 would sounds great with M6 too. But I have a split hair idea that C5 would be a perfect match to M6 since they are meant for together.

From digging of the Exclusive data on the TVB and other Japanese sites, there seems to have a lot of design changes between C7 and C5 so I wish you could listen to both of them with the M6.

I will be sure to look an eye out for another C7 with the V7 connector for you.

Does the V7 supposed to control the C7 volume if they are connected together?
 
I was thinking about going after a C5 for that exact same reason as well.. they are indeed designed to go together.. Although the M6 is more a sort of "in between model" which was marketed here in Europe together with the C7.

The V7 indeed offers the option to control both the selection switch as well as volume of the C7. When I found my V7, it was without the remotecontrol... I thought there would be little if no change to find one; however, Pioneer Japan still had a new remote for me!! can you believe that? after almost twenty years, they still have a brandnew remote!! Luckily I was surprissed to see the connection cable came with the V7 as well after I opened the box, so now (apart from manual) it's fully complete..

some pictures just for fun:

Hey!

Almost there :) I received the P3A today and it is a very nice turntable. I wondered if it could have really been an improvement over the P3 and I am glad to say it is worth the extra investment.

I will post some photos later. For now I arrange the listening room around some HUGE Technics SB-10000 speakers.

By the way, do you have a contact for Pioneer Japan? I have a P3 and I would like to find some spare screws to fix the platter. They are special shoulder screws.

That's a nice one!

I don't have a specific contact at Pioneer in Japan, I do however have my way to contact them, I'll let my guy ask them about it, I could use some of those for future movements myself as well..

Sweet. A P3 and a P3a. I luv my P3.

What do you find the main differences between the P3 and P3a sonically?
 
Congratulations on owning that great amp! I am still looking for one, about three years now.. they do come available every now and then.. but not to often. Is yours a 100 volts Japanese model or 220 volts euro model?
 
Hi,
It is 100V Japanese model, I bought it directly from Japan.
You are right, it is a great pre-amp.
 
I was thinking about going after a C5 for that exact same reason as well.. they are indeed designed to go together.. Although the M6 is more a sort of "in between model" which was marketed here in Europe together with the C7.

I see. I didn't know C7 is marketed with M6 as well. You gotta try with both then. There are a few combination like this?

C7 with M6.
C7 with M7 and M8.
C5 with M6.
C5 with M7 and M8. hehehe

Very nice eXclusive literature you have! Wow! You must have some good contacts to find a brand New Remote for V7 in Japan after some 20 yrs.

Can you get your Japanese Pioneer contacts to find me a binding post for M8? One of the binding post is turning without locking. I will pay all the costs if you can help me find one.

By the way, I don't see C7 but I see a really nice C5. You got PM!

Here she is!


Very Nice TT. It's how all TT should be made. :thmbsp:
