Are New Sony SCD XA5400es Players Still Available?


Hello to all,

I am considering purchasing a new Sony SCD XA5400es. I am finding some rather odd information on the Internet and Audiogon. I am seeing Audiogoners saying the player is out of production and I am seeing others selling new players below the normal retail price of $1500. I also found a price on eCost.com that is for just under $900.

Does anyone know if there are “knock-of “ players in the market people may be selling or are the players actually available at these good prices?

Thanks for any feedback.

There are some good prices on new machines. Check out the Modwright circle on Audiocircle.com. There is a thread there devoted to this topic and a list of dealers.
Let's see, the Sony retails for approx. $1500, the DV-50 retailed for $5500. Duh, I guess it should sound better!
