Former Sony High-End, Champagne front players.

...ah, back in the day, or something else trite, I had three of the Sony ES Champagne colored CD players.  I believe they were the CDP-X777Es, and the same letters with 707 and 779 in place of the numbers.  I am likely just reliving an audio memory or senility has started.  If any of you have owned any of these models anything you can share of your thoughts and experience would be welcome.  I think I will take a little time off now and fire up the Studebaker Avanti.

Hi,
the last of the breed, i owned a 707es and after a xa7es both with identical innards but different drive. All X777, X779, X707 are the best built ever ES players with silk operation and all metal transport, that may last forever. The X779, X707 shared nearly the same analogue stage, the X777 being different and that reflected to a more analogue sound. Also had the slight edge as a transport. At that time Sony did create the R3 & the ultimate R1, R1a all better than any Es player.
