Pioneer A-8800X integrated amplifier, produced in 1979 for the Japanese domestic market (JDM), 75 W per channel into 8 Ω, visually excellent condition and tested/operational functionality, weight 12.2 kg, dimensions 420 × 150 × 376 mm.
Description from the seller
Excellent cosmetic condition and excellent functional condition – fully serviced prior to sale. There are minor signs of wear visible in the photos, which are an integral part of the description and pertain to the item for sale.
The Pioneer A-8800X is the top-of-the-line integrated amplifier produced in 1979 exclusively for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM).
Unlike the Western SA series, this model is aimed at purist audio enthusiasts: it forgoes colored displays to focus all build quality on the purity of sound, introducing a superior internal architecture and a native high-level dual MM/MC phono stage.
Before going on sale, the amplifier was completely overhauled, calibrated, and internally cleaned by a specialized technician.
Technical Strengths:
Non-Switching Technology (NSA): Eliminates crossover distortion, delivering a warm and detailed sound like Class A, but with the dynamics and power of Class B.
Direct Power Supply: Power circuits are completely independent between the pre/phono section and the power amps to eradicate interference.
Stellar MM/MC Phono Stage: Perfect for vinyl lovers. Supports both MM cartridges (with impedance/capacitance selection) and MC moving-coil cartridges.
Important technical note: Being a JDM import model, the unit operates at 100V AC.
