Receivers & Amplifiers

Pioneer Elite gear gets more attainable and less "elite" with each passing year. In the days of Laserdisc players, though, the Pioneer Elite CLD-97 could run you $2,500. Thank you sir, may I have another!

Excellent product. Well made, reliable with great manufacturer back up. Lively detailed sound and relaxing to the ear for those long listening sessions late into the night. The preamplifier I used to compare the Boulder to was a Threshold FET 9E and I...

Pretty good device I would say. Precision clarity, so huge sound... One of the best amplifiers I have ever had. I have had PM80 MkII - stil having my son. But in other way, son is having most better floorstand speakers than me now .. :-)

The Terk Edge really works. It was very easy to install. I am now pulling in stations that were very difficult to hear clearly. Only one New York City station is still problematic but I rarely listen to it anyway. Give it a try.

This amp is perfect for my use. Its very small, which fools the wife into thinking that it is quiet. Wrong! When needed it packs quite a sound. Great value.

I've had a lot of gear in and out over the years, this pre is a real gem amongst them. I bought the MK1 model and upgraded it to the latest revisions (small revisions to both line and power stages)

Brought this second hand in 2003 for 200 pound UK. It currently drives a pair of Celestion A1's and source is normally a Cyrus DVD8 used as a CD player. DVD8 sounds amazing with CD's - better than my Sony CDP-XB920 which is no slouch itself.

[..]The receiver plays back a wonderful spectrum of sound, and the 32-bit processor is fabulous. The highs are perfectly clear--yet non-obtrusive--and with this receiver I was finally able to get rid of "tinny" or overly "bright" sound in my...
