Former Sony High-End, Champagne front players.

777es 9000es, all the ESs I used, were just wonderful. A true sonic nugget, few know about.. I bet the quality stacks up against, 3-4000.00 silver disk spinners... The only one I didn't use was the multidisk ES. 
I use the 777 and 5500 (?) now.. Big bang for the buck..

Second they match very well with most of my gear...Not supper picky about ICs either..Silver clad wire with certain covers can be BRIGHT. though. They like pure copper or silver.

The PC not to big, it just sucks the life out of the SQ...Good PC if they have IECs, if not, think about replacing, the old or adding a new IEC.

Regards, yup great stuff...

I know what it was. You could buy @Corian caddies and put them in the 777 and 9000. The AM caddies were made somewhere in Japan also. Spendy little guy, 1000.00 or so... 15 years ago.

Thanks for the replies.  So I can temper my senility with some thoughts that I might have know a bit about what I was hearing....ah yes, back when I could hear.  Just joking, but these are the times when we must not take ourselves too seriously.  Like a good comedian said, "some people have a way with words....and others....ooooo, not have way"


 

I think I will take a little time off now and fire up the Studebaker Avanti.

Hey, at least you’re not still using a buggy whip.  

The Avanti was too advanced for the whip to work very well.  However my Grandmother always used the whip on her old Rambler.  I am not sure it got it to go any faster, but the car seemed to enjoy it.  But that story gets a bit complicated.
