319.0. "PIONEER PD-73 CD player" by SHAWB1::WILLOUGHBYD (The man with no personal name) Mon Nov 04 1991 12:00

Hi,

I've got the chance to buy a Pioneer PD-73 for half
price (reduced from 800 to 400 pounds). I've had a 
listen to it and it sounds pretty impressive, but I 
haven't been able to find any test reports about it.

Anyone know anything about the PD-73 ?

Would you snap one up if it were � price ?

Thanks,

Dave

319.1but when is a bargain a bargain?BAHTAT::SALLITTMon Nov 04 1991 13:1114
    re .0....
    
    Why so cheap? End-of-line or something like that?
    
    >>Would you snap one up if it were � price ? 
    
    Not until I'd heard what else was available for �400, in my system or
    one like it. 
    
    And lack of test reports/reviews isn't an issue, they can be a
    hindrance. Your ears count most.

    Dave,
    	Telephone Pioneer (don't have their number, but their address is
    in Greenford Middx) and ask for some literature on the PD-73, if
    there are any *Good* reviews in existence you can be sure they'll also
    include a photocopy. The lesser models PD7700/8700/9700 are very well
    received in the hi-fi comics and i listened to the 8700 together with
    a Rotel RCD965-BX and was most impressed (I did end up with the Rotel
    though @�299!).
