Pioneer is a good line, they offer great value to the customer. It however has a inherant flaw in the design of the ground isolation circuity on the preamp section and this flaw has been there for over 15 years. You think they might have gone and fixed the design by now.....

Not all units are affected by it, I have had more than my share of them that have had zero noise related issues. A good install can quite often cure what ails you.
