Pioneer SA-708 Stereo Amplifier Operational (Read Description)IMPORTANT: The amplifier is fully operational and all functions are working properly. The unit has some scratches and stains on the front panel, but the Phono stage is fully functional. During testing, we noticed that when the amplifier is first powered on, the Fluoroscan display briefly shows two lines, which then disappear. We do not know whether this is related to the display itself or another component, so this may require further inspection.The exterior plastic panel covering the Fluoroscan display was refinished, achieving a result very similar to the original appearance.A test video was recorded to the amplifier. You can watch it on our YouTube channel (SSC Global Company) to corroborate your purchase and be sure of it.The Amplifier is located in a Warehouse in Miami FL 33166.ABOUT SHIPPING: Our shipping process works like this: we pay a warehouse who is in charge of making the shipments safely.

Ambitious ask. At US$450, this sits above the US$199 median and just under the US$475 75th percentile, so it’s priced toward the top of the current used market rather than as a bargain. It’s not outrageous if the unit is genuinely clean, fully operational, and presentable, but it does need to justify itself against stronger-value listings closer to US$104–US$199.
What keeps it interesting is the SA-708’s old-school Pioneer appeal: a proper phono stage, substantial build, and the kind of warm, straightforward integrated amp many vinyl listeners still enjoy. For this kind of vintage piece, proof of healthy switches, pots, and a quiet phono section matters more than cosmetic bragging rights; if those check out, it can still be a satisfying buy, but at US$450 the seller should be offering confidence, not just nostalgia.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Pioneer traces its roots to 1937 in Tokyo, Japan, when founder Nozomu Matsumoto, inspired by the thrill of imported hi-fi speakers, developed the A-8 dynamic speaker and launched a radio and speaker repair shop. The business formalized as Fukuin Shokai Denki Seisakusho in 1938, evolving into Pioneer Corporation and embodying Matsumoto's philosophy of "Move the Heart and Touch the Soul" through audio innovation.
The brand excels across diverse hi-fi categories, pioneering Japan's first headphones in 1960 with the SE-1 and the world's first component-based stereo system in 1965 via the PSC-5A. Pioneer's portfolio spans amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark car audio advancements like the 1975 Supertuner-equipped stereo and the 1986 in-car CD player, blending home and automotive excellence.
Today, Pioneer holds a commanding mid-to-high-tier position in the market, revered for reliable, performance-driven gear that balances premium quality with accessibility. Its vintage components attract collectors, while current offerings appeal to discerning buyers seeking robust, innovative sound reproduction without boutique excess.
