In Reply to: RE: Pioneer SX-1980 - is it really worth this much? posted by Todd Krieger on June 26, 2017 at 00:06:06:
Adjusted for inflation, the SX-1980, which was $1,250 new, would cost over $8,000 today. It was an expensive proposition when it came out, and it remains one now.
I have one and absolutely LOVE it. I bought a nice one about 5-6 years ago for $2,000, and had it completely recapped/restored for another $900. It sounds fantastic - definitely better than some similarly priced current "audiophile" gear I have heard. It's also for sure awesome to look at, and that adds to its allure, and also of course it's price.
The 1980 will likely always cost a lot. It always has. Only an individual can saw whether it's "worth" it. But mine will be with me until I'm dead and gone.
