The SX-828 was Pioneer's flagship receiver when it was introduced in 1972. This example has no etchings visible on the chassis, and sounds spectacular. The immaculate wood cabinet accents the subtle champagne face with blue readout. Turntable ready, with support for MC cartridges, this 54W receiver is ready to run your vintage system.

- Liner Notes
The SX-828 is a big power AM/FM stereo receiver with advanced circuit design, outstanding FM selectivity and sensitivity, and linear scale tuning dial. Here, in one of Pioneer's most prized packages, is a wealth of outstanding performance in an AM/FM solid state stereo receiver. The SX-828 is another in the long, proud line of advanced stereo components from Pioneer - and certainly one of the best. For music power that will fill any-sized room with clear, rich sound, the SX-828 features up to 270 watts (at 4 ohms). For FM selectivity and sensitivity that has no peer in a unit of this size, the unit features a large linear scale tuning dial, the latest solid state circuitry, and a pair of FM tuning meters. And, finally, for the supreme versatility that is so necessary to quality hi-fi today, it provides two tape monitor circuits for tape-to-tape duplication, and lets you use up to two turntables, three sets of speaker systems, two microphones and even too sets of headphones. All in one handsomely-designed, ruggedly built unit from the quality stereo people at Pioneer.
