When listening to the test cd revealed that there are so-called "blind" region. Recent frequency did not differ clean sound, but the mids sounded good.

Soft sound, nice design, Legato Link, in a word, Pioneer. The Pioneer PD-306 cd player sounds interesting, probably thanks to the Legato Link. To picky listeners and lovers of analysis, the stereo image may seem blurry, but at the same time it has a depth and mystery that is inaccessible to most devices...

Pioneer PD-50 CD-player

This being a Japanese-made player, it's no surprise to find it's Super Audio CD compatible. Although SACD is in the twilight of its years as a format, it retains a strong following in Japan, so it makes sense to include it, plus there is still a number of excellent, small labels releasing the discs. The...

Pioneer PD-8700 CD-player

What a cracking surprise this player turned out to be. Not least because pressing the eject key brings you face-to-face with a mini turntable platter (complete with rubber mat) instead of the usual CD loading drawer. Why the platter? Well, the basic idea is to avoid the little wobbles and resonances...
Pioneer PD-91 CD-player
Pioneer PD-91 CD-player

With its PD-91 Compact Disc player, Pioneer claims use of the "world's first true 18-bit D/A [digital-to-analog] converter." Even though the PD-91 has been scooped by another true 18-bit machine using the same converter chips, Pioneer's 18-bit entry does offer a measurable advance in the approach to...

Pioneer PD-9700 CD-player

Some £400 plus players are respectable pieces of engineering by any standards. This is the case with this relatively trim looking heavyweight, which includes extensive antiresonance measures and sits on five feet. The headline feature, however, is the so-called 'Stable Platter Mechanism' in which...

Pioneer PD-S504 CD-player

This player is already at the middle stage of the considered price category, but its architecture is almost the same as that of players of a higher class company Pioneer. PD-S504 has several advantages compared to models of other companies in this price category. First of all it is necessary to mention...

Pioneer PD-S703 CD-player

Despite of the traditional black taint, PD-S703 looks unusual. It is quite high device, the disc loader of which is placed in the middle of the faceplate. More precisely there is a display of blue glow in the middle, and unusually wide disc loader is under it. Exactly this distinguishes PD-S703 from...

Pioneer PD-S802 CD-player

Complete consensus is rare among hi-fi reviewers, as it is among hi-fi aficionados in general. But some products do more than engender disagreement: they inspire polarization. Pioneer's PD-S801 CD player-predecessor to the machine on review here and the first to incorporate Legato Link digital filtering-was...
Pioneer PD-S904 CD-player
Pioneer PD-S904 CD-player

A distinctive feature of Pioneer PD-S904 in the installation of CD is that it is installed in this player on a massive disc track up. However, a regular user of PD-S904 will quickly get used to such unusual way. The second is very neat and discreet design. On the front panel there is only what you need,...

Pioner PD-M59 CD-player

By any standard, this is one handsome CD changer. Like other' Elite series Pioneer components, the PD-M59 boasts a high-gloss black finish that invariably reminds me of a new Steinway piano. A few touches of gold complete the striking decor. Like other Pioneer CD-only changers, the PD-M59 uses a six-disc...
