The Pioneer "eXclusive" Gear Thread!

[CCT1]

Hi,

How to say ? You get some and you lost some, not punchy bass but lush mid range and the overall better control due to the ss pre-amp ( I am not sure in case of the expensive tube pre-amp cause I have no chance to have one )

I've looked C7 preamplifier, wish you show me someone going to sell?

Thank you very much!

minhminh,

Just like you, I am searching for a C7.. already for a couple of years right now. FYI: there is a C7a in Japan for sale right now for a decent price. I am not interested since it doesnt support the option to connect to the V7 controller/videoswitch, this is an absolute must for me.. PM me for more info.

Aren't you the same guy who is searching for a C-Z1 as well?? (again, just like me..)

 

[capitanharlo]

I own a C7 (220v) and a P3 (obviously 100v, as far as I know it wasn't built outside japan), and desperately looking for an M8 and a couple of 3401...

:tears:

 

[capitanharlo]

I just buyed a couple of 3401,
but mine have white woofers...
Are there different 3401 versions?

:scratch2:

 

[jwfabrie]

Capitan,

Congratulations on your 3401's!
where did you buy your pair of 3401's? I don't think there was ever a different pair of 3401's marketed.. they might be reconed, or the drivers might be JBL, they do tend to have with cones as well.. have you already checked?

I have some more eXclusive coming my way as well btw..

 

[capitanharlo]

I bought them on hifido.
They haven't arrived yet so I couldn't check.
The woofers seems petty identical to the dark versions, so I don't think they're JBL.

I saw that Hifido sold two others pairs and all of them have white cones, and the woofer seems a Tad:

 

[capitanharlo]

Seems confirmed that exists a second version of the EL-403 woofers, with white paper cones:

 

[ukfan4sure!]

Never even SEEN any of this before... :tears:

 

[capitanharlo]

Never even SEEN any of this before... :tears:

Do you mean the woofer or the 3401?
:scratch2:
Anyway I do believe that this "release 2" of the woofer exist.

I've seen some in several japanese auctions.

Hi Capitan,

I don't see the whiteness in that picture; in fact, those woofers look exactly the same as mine do, it's all a matter of light and coloring in the photography to my opinion.

Congratulations anyways on this great purchase! you will love them to bits, Just like I enjoy mine every day, I just can't get enough of them.

What about the M8?

Cheers, JW

 

[capitanharlo]

Hi Jw,
still looking for an M8. but my budget is a little bit tight now...

I guess I will have to wait for some time before getting one, if and when it will show up.

:tears:

 

[capitanharlo]

Attached are two photos of my very old system (The Yamaha speakers did leave and then came back 2 years later!).

The Nsx-10000...:ntwrthy:

Do you still have them?

 

[siamac]

A short video, but the quality is not so good

[capitanharlo]

Did you put the record player ON the 2401??

:scratch2:

 

[siamac]

Yes, it is the only solution, I could find.
But these speakers are so heavy, that I coudn´t hear any disadvantage, even with high volume and heavy bass.

Maybe one day I find a C-3 preamp, then SX-1980 will move to another room and PL-50LII will be placed on the rack again.

:thmbsp:

 

[jwfabrie]

Siamac,

First comes the C3, than you need a pair of M6 monoblocks to power those 2401's! and they you need a P3 or P10..:yes:

 

[capitanharlo]

Am I wrong or in the Siamac's video I saw an Exclusive M3?

 

[jwfabrie]

that is indeed a M3 in Siamac's video. Which will soon be companied by some other eXclusive

 

[capitanharlo]

Can't wait to see the eXclusive pics...
