New receiver - Sony STR-DA5000ES

Picked up a 2004 Sony STR-DA5000ES receiver yesterday.  $1,500 in 2004.  Paid $40 for it.  Always wanted to try out an ES series Sony.  Heavy sucker!  I'll be using it with my current 4.2 Heresy/RS-7/SVS SB-2000 setup until I sell the RS-7s.

Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow after work to set it up and give it a listen.

 

Anyone else have any Sony ES experience?

Selling your Pioneer in favor of this Sony?

I have never owned Sony ES gear.

 

Yes!

 

I haven't either.  This one popped up about 45 minutes from me on FB marketplace.  Listed for $50, I offered $40.  Couldn't pass that up to at least give it a try!  I love it!

Bit of a surprise to me to go for Sony as oppose to Pioneer but, maybe Sony has something nowadays...

 

Their regular line has never been raved about but their ES series has always had me intrigued, especially their 90s to early 2000s ES line.
