Pioneer Equipment Reviews

I remember reading and enjoying Stereo Review during the mid-1970s to the early 1980s.  When going over back issues on microfiche at the local library, I was surprised to find just how few of Pioneer's components had been reviewed by the magazine's Hirsch-Houck Laboratories during this period.

I looked at the index for each year between 1975 and 1982.  In some years they didn't evaluate a single Pioneer piece of stereo equipment!  In fact, during those eight years, only two receivers one tuner and one tape deck were tested.  The following list is amazingly short. If you are aware of others in Audio, Stereophile or other magazines, email me.

SA-9900 Amplifier August 1975
SA-9500II Integrated Amplifier April 1977
RT-707 Reel-to-Reel Tape Deck November 1977
SA-7500II Integrated Amplifier November 1978
SX-1980 Receiver December 1978
SA-7800 Integrated Amplifier October 1979
A-8 Integrated Amplifier June 1981
F-7 Tuner July 1981
SX-8 Receiver May 1982
