romekaff Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Item Condition: Used Shipping Options: Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Narre Warren South State: Victoria Payment Method: Any Reason for selling: Upgrade Further information: Regretful sale of my rare gorgeous Pioneer A-09. This really is an exclusive which was the hi-end division for Pioneer at the time. This was imported from Japan at considerable cost. I paid $3250. Proof of purchase available to any serious potential buyer. It is in amazing condition. I would rate it a solid 9/10. There have been a couple for sale over the last few years but none in this condition. Pure class A at it’s finest. I lusted over one of these for years. It sounds just superb on my JBL’s and can go to silly levels....can just about drive any speaker out there. Price is firm and I won’t be going any lower as I think it’s miles ahead of anything in it’s price range. 480000y in 1992 makes it quite expensive in its day. Last picture sourced online. Couldn’t get a good enough one of mine. http://www.thevintageknob.org/pioneer-A-09.html Photos: PLEASE READ If you are advertising multiple items, you must post one bulk price only, or post seperate ads for each item If you include any reference to pricing whatsoever in this section (excluding RRP), your ad will not be approved If you don't include photographs of the actual item being sold, your ad will not be approved Edited July 4, 2020 by romekaff pic 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemini07 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Could you please clarify the power input requirements for this amp, ie is it 240V or 110? If it is 240, was the modification done at the factory or elsewhere? Also, I know my eyesight is not what it used to be, but I cannot see a power input socket anywhere. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooming in on the rear photo shows that it is a 220-230v unit, unusually power cord connection must be under the machine? Very nice looking amplifier and, glwts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festooned Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 The rear photo looks lifted from a European site so I wouldn't put too much store in things you see there. Best the seller answers I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my ad says it’s a Japanese import. Step down will be supplied as well. Power cord is located under the unit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resonance-2-Rythm Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Very nice amp. I remember reading about it on Whathifi Mag, 1998 issue and salivated with the just the thought of owning one. Would definitely consider buying if was 230v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 This is one of Pioneer's best ever! A friend of mine has one of these gorgeous things and I love the sound of it. The sound stage is wide and presents with plenty of depth. The midrange sounds velvety smooth, coupled with glistening highs and strong, well controlled, never bloated bass and all without a hint of ever being strained. This amp effortlessly produces amazing, highly smooth and sophisticated sound with excellent clarity and transparency - a real testimony to the great engineering work of Pioneer's engineers. A startling appearance to cap it all off, makes this amp fully worth the out-lay. My only criticism, if you could call it that, is that this amp will show up any bad sound engineering in any source but; it will reward you highly when playing anything of substantial quality. To me its simple, if this was my amp I would be hanging on to it. Amps of this quality only come around once in a blue moon. Have a think about it before letting it go buddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
