They are stunning amps. I have had mine from new. Just love the Pioneer kit of the 80's
Great video!
I just love vintage silver Pioneer - bought my Sa-9900 in 1980.
She still produces awesome sound today.
What a wonderful informative video. I sold mine just about a month ago for a SA-7800. The SA-7800 sounds completely different to the 708...a little more subdued but a beautiful sound. I wouldn't mind loaning mine to you for a few days to see a comparison video between the 708 and 7800, if you are around Johannesburg. 😉
excellent video. i have that one stored, sadly haven't used for 30 years cause is 220v and i currently have 110v. i still remember the great Quality sound, and beautiful look
Un amplificador excelente yo lo tengo y es sencillamente espectacular,lo recomiendo
Hi i got the same one...still working good after 40y...luv the pioneer quality!! ;o) grtz from belgium!
Awesome video. Enjoying the channel. Keep up the good work.
Wonderful review! Imagine my delight tonight watching this video after picking up a fully functioning set of the following for $80 not knowing if they were completely worth it:
Pioneer tuner TX 608
Amplifier SA-708
Dynamic Processor RG-2
Reverberation Processor SR-303
Graphic Equalizer SG-9800
Tape Deck F-650
I believe those output transistors are actually from the Japanese Fuji Electric. I wonder if the MT200 Sanken transistors like 2SC3264 would fit. Still obsolete, but much more recently.
Great video. How do you get the amp so clean?
Hi there. Have a look at my other videos where I show how I wash the amplifiers.
Great amp! I prefer the sa606 though
Love the video Dewald, very professional.
Hola, muy bueno tu video. Tengo un SA-510 desde 1980 y suena maravillosamente bien. Ahora adquirí un SA-708. Estoy enamorado de él y de la linea azul de Pioneer. Que parlantes me recomendas para el 708?. Saludos desde Argentina
Buen día. Gracias por sus amables cumplidos.
Estos amplificadores son realmente muy buenos y están bien diseñados.
Cualquier buen altavoz moderno es el mejor para conectar al 708. Como los modelos de B&W y JBL.
¡Disfruta la música!
@@elektrickerybydee muchas gracias y sigue con tus buenos videos. Saludos
This is a very informative video Dewald.
I am planning on getting a solid entertainment table because I would like stack it with amplifiers such as this ones. NO television
Thank for this review, sorry i’m not speak inglés, i have a SA 5300 reciént i buy Linton , I want to release them with the amp, can I have a problem with the watts 10 per channel when connecting them? Thank you,
You will be fine just dont drive the amplifier hard.
Sería factible conseguir el folleto instructivo y el plano del modrl SA-708, gracias

Che differenza passa tra piooner sa706 e sa 708 ?
Amazing vid, just got one of these from my granddad. Im just getting into vinyls and needed an amplifier. Is this one a good start?
Hi! Yes it is a very good amplifier in any standard. It will be a good amplifier for life. Get it serviced.
@@elektrickerybydee thanks alot for the answer
Are there any major differences between this model and the SA 608 model other than lower power (45w)?
The best is to compare the two circuits but I know Pioneer never scaled their circuits. Each model had it's own circuit.
Savez pourquoi les faisceaux bleus de cette série on tendance a être désynchronisés visuellement ( droite et gauche ) en cours d'écoute ?
Les circuits de comparaison sont un peu primitifs et donc la réponse pourrait être compromise. Si votre appareil est très déséquilibré, les potentiomètres ne sont peut-être pas réglés correctement. De plus, l'âge des condensateurs est un gros problème. Je remplace tous les condensateurs d'un coup.
@@elektrickerybydee merci de m'avoir répondu , sur mon sa710 oui il y a un déséquilibre de faisceaux pas non plus éxhorbitant mais assez génant tout de même notamment sur les sons ambiants
@@elektrickerybydee donc cela viendrait il des potentiomètres , impossible en tout cas de régler le soucis en jouant avec la balance , j'ai fait révisé l'"appareil dernièrement le gars m'a certifié qu'il ne pouvait rien faire a ce niveau , et ce qui m'inquiète c'est que j'ai vu d'autres appareils identiques sur you tube avec le même souci visuel , j'aurais besoin de votre opinion , merci d'avance 😉
@@boyerjuliano21 Les condensateurs ont-ils été remplacés ?
Does this amp sound better than the new line of Pioneer like A 616 and 717. because I like vintage amps and receivers and I'm thinking to change my A 717 for one of those.
I dont know if it sounds better but it does sound very good!
@@elektrickerybydee
Thanks for the reply!
I just got my SA-708 serviced and doesn’t sound the same,it was louder before it went for service.
I wouldn’t think of turning the volume past 4,now even if I bring it to 9 it doesn’t even reach the same loudness as it was before
It is possible that your service tech has messed up the circuit! Get it checked by someone compitent!
@@elektrickerybydee thank you for the reply,will check it out 🤝
What is the price range for this ?
It is not for sale sorry.
@@elektrickerybydee thats all good, i have one from a deceased estate that i’m looking to sell but just have no idea on a price range that these go for.
