recstar24 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Anyone ever heard of it? 1990/91, build quality seems insane. There is a local hifi that had it used for sale but it quickly went. Sony CDP-X777ES on TVK, detailed inside views AudiogoN ForSale: Sony CDP-X777es Quote
purk Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I owned the X707ES briefly and thought they sounded great but I still prefer the sound of the newer XA7ES, and SCD-1 to it. I would suggest you not to buy it as the laser units for older Sony CDPs are discontinued. Quote
faust3d Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 It's a good red book CD player. I had one of these for few days in my system several years back. If the laser assembly brakes you are done, unless you have a way to get a replacement. I really liked this Sony as a transport, much more than a CDP. Quote

Most buyers use these older units as the transport. Most older highend Sony CDP share the same transport as Accuphase units and Sony "R" series units. Quote
Pars Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 This player uses a KSS-281A laser unit, which seems to be about as obtainable as a Philips CDM-9 Pro, etc. As in, not. CD-Player-DAC-Transport List Quote
