Like most vintage receivers, properly restored, the Pioneer SX-950 has comparable or better performance and far better construction quality than almost any modern receiver.
Pioneer has manufactured a plethora of audio components: power amplifiers, integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers, receivers, tuners, CD players, tape players, turntables, equalizers, loudspeakers, and more! Like other audio companies, Pioneer's golden era was arguably the 1970's, and Pioneer components from the 70's are very popular with audiophiles and collectors.
