Hey guys. Long time lurker and not much of a poster.
I guess I was excited with my new acquisition.. a pretty minty SX1010 so I had to post.
I love this unit. It sounds very articulate, authoritative, powerful and makes beautiful music. I wasn't really into Pioneers but can honestly say this is going to turn me into a fan. These things are pretty impressive considering I had some pretty nice gear running my speakers prior to this (Accuphase C200 and vintage restored SONY TA3000F amp) but this Pioneer really holds its own. I'm not going to say it sounds better, but it really gives the other gear a run for their money and to me sounds at least as good and in some respects better (bass).
The seller told me that the later model SX1010's had a redesign of the faulty PS board that mitigated the heat issues associated with these. Is that true? I was going to address that but this unit appears to need nothing at the moment.
Here's some pics...
