Keith_W Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Sony SCD-XA777ES SACD player. Absolutely superb. Many people think that if this player is modded it's still better than most modern SACD players. One of the few rare SACD players with 5.1 output. Heck it's so cheap I might pick it up myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drizt Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 is that the same one as post 44?[/b] Its from the same ebay user, so perhaps he has relisted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Its from the same ebay user, so perhaps he has relisted it.[/b] yep, its the same. there were no bids originally (my link), so he has relisted it at a lower price (Keith_W's link). theres also a black SCD-XA9000ES that has been listed and relisted countless times over the last few months. i think the person dropped it to about $3800 in the end, but still it passed in. i cant see it listed anymore, so i guess they finally gave up.

Keith_W Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 There is no way the XA-9000ES would sell for $3800! When Sony stopped production, the Sony shops were clearing them out for less than $2000. I wouldn't pay more than $1500 for a used XA-9000ES. Having said that, it is a better player than the 777ES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardN Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 ooh i got something on ebay!!! Pioneer A-9 Integrated Amplifier![/b] I take it you've got something "for sale" on ebay, rather than you "got" something on/from ebay. I only say that cause there's still 9 odd days to go. Interesting looking device and I bet it wasn't cheap when new in 81-82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a nice guy and good to buy stuff from. Just dont listen too deeply to his advice on what else to get cos he can be a bit biased, but all salespeople are to some extent.

DSK Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 McIntosh Power and Pre Amplifier MC402 and C2200Not exactly cheap, but nice gear none the less[/b] I thought that step down transformers were not a good idea for high end gear as they reduce the 240v to 120v OK but leave the frequency at 50hz rather than the 60hz that the gear was designed to handle. This leads to the gear being unduly stressed and running hotter than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
