PIONEER DV-09 DVD Player (1998)

[MacGyver]

i did not believe until the day that i received this that PIONEER had made anything since of the quality that the REFERENCE/ELITE series was so well known for in the eighties. for late ninties products such as the unreliably designed and plastic-bezeled VSX-09TX A/V receiver, that assumption holds true. but THIS, however, is another story altogether. this sucker feels like it was built in 1988, not 1998!! a SOLID feeling 34lbs. that feels like a HELL of a lot more than that!! fit, finish, and build quality damn near the equal of the legendary PD-91/PD-3000 CD player. EXCELLENT sound and image quality, fanatical japanese precision and attention to detail throughout. there simply is no DVD or BD player in existence outside japan that come close to this wonder's precision and solidity. like all the great classic PIONEER REFERENCE/ELITE products, this thing is clearly built to last DECADES...
