It was definitely showing its age. The lack of HDMI was really getting to be a problem. About a week ago it started completely breaking down and stopped detecting audio properly; instead of detecting digital audio it would default to analog inputs and simply not play anything. Time for a new receiver. I am no audiophile but I can tell the difference between high quality audio and an undersampled MP3. That said, most of my comparisons will be with respect to my old VR-5090 as that's what I was coming from. I settled on the VSX-1021 because the feature set was strong, the 1020 had some pretty impressive reviews, and because after getting burned by the Kenwood Soverign line I wanted some solid tech that didn't really represent being an early adopter again. Yes the 1021 is brand new, but it's very similar to the 1020 which is a fairly well-tested design...

Both the Pioneer VSX-1019 and 1020 offered exceptional featureset (Ipod Playback via USB in the 1019; iphone control, blutooth and internet streaming i the 1020) in what were effectively entry level receivers in the minds of most home theater enthusiasts. In many ways, the Pioneer VSX-1021 carries the torch of its predecessors in offering features that were rarely found in last year's receivers at twice the price. More importantly, Pioneer demonstrated some important upgrades in the basic construction and build quality that would satisfy the more visceral needs of audiophiles. The VSX-1019 of 2009 was in many ways the darling of the entry level receiver market on the professional review circuit. Reviews praised it for its featureset and its ability to ascend its pricepoint in musicality. The 1020 pushed featureset over traditional...

Previously I had been listening to Blu-ray audio through a JVC shelf system, and since that wasn't fitting the bill, I purchased this Pioneer based on my parents' positive experiences with the brand in the 80s and 90s. I have to say that the name has not let them (or me) down!The sound quality of the VSX-1021 is amazing; I didn't realize what a difference surround sound would make for movies. Furthermore, it sounds excellent with my CDs and vinyl records too. I could never have hoped for better sound or picture quality. There are several features that other customers are complaining about "not working," and I'd like to clear up some facts here... First of all, Airplay is an amazing, flawless feature on the 1021. It allows you to stream music from your computer's iTunes library through the 1021. For this feature to work properly, you must allow file sharing and various... Read more |
