AVLand taking Pioneer DV-747a Pre-orders

[John_bones]

Thought there were a few people on the forum who may be interested and are not aware of this.

£899.95

First come first served and apparently according to avland they will only be available in silver!!! Gutted wanted one to match my 859 amp.

Been available for pre-order for some time via the HCH site:)

get ready for a price reduction though, and i`ve currently got one sat here for working on a mod over xmas - first units ship jan 18th to Pioneer.

Justin,

any idea of price and how good this thing is?

I'm damn tempted.

Will there be a Gold one (I know but it's the only was to sneak it past the wife!).:clap:

[John_bones]

Thanks for the reply Justin, I was aware they were on your site but thought a little competition can only help us punters ;)

Price drop sounds interesting and I'm glad they aren't coming until January as my CC's are a little bit stressed at the mo'

Any comments about it's capabilities?

Could this player by an option for me :D
I sure hope the price reduction is enough for me to afford one :D

Go on Justin, give us a clue to the price reduction.

The 646A went down from £599 to £399, lets hope the same percentage happens here or is that just wishful thinking :)

Oh and Justin, whats the layer change like on the 747?

[GarethH]

Oh and I forgot to ask, what do you think of the player so far?

[David Allum]

And does it suffer from the chroma upsampling bug of earlier Pioneers?

[GarethH]

Pioneer tell me the RRP is coming down to £800-£900, now all i need to do is see how much Home Cinema Heaven knock off that RRP. :D

If I tell you my budget, you'll probably tell me "In your dreams m8"

We're getting there slowly :D

Basically Silver 646, but better built, PSU, seperate power stages and audio stages, and SACD / DVD stage. Not a bad performer at all so far:)

price will be £799.99, just not changed web site yet.

Err, no Pioneer has suffered from this since the old 505 and 909, some 4 years ago!

Actually the SRP was £999 brought down to £899, which is why everyones quoting £899, but we`ve already got our order in and know what we`re getting charged, hence the £799 price to go up this week:)

[GarethH]

******! £600-£700 is the absolute max for me. Just have to wait until it comes down a bit more or wait for one of those offers you do :-)

I really want the 747 cause of the DVD Audio and SACD, i will wait patiently :)

[GarethH]

Empire Direct are gonna sell it (Region Two Only) for £670 in Jan

Damm, £70 out, just need to get a place that can do it modded now!
