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.
