    I guess you are right

    Very interesting post, I have always been fascinated by the Esprit range.

    I have the TAE900 s/n 600001 as new and boxed !

    Also have 5 x TAN900 all as new and boxed.

    And 2 x TAN901. TAD900. SEP900.

    Also have 5 of the wooden cabinets TAC90 TAC91 boxed and unused, probably one of the only new ones left in the world!

    Hopefully will have time one day to do some photos and information.

    Still looking for a pair of APM6 speakers and PSX9 turntable.

    Regards

    Hi Mike

    Were the APM6 speakers repaired?

    Did you sell the Sony Esprit equipment?

    Your best bets for a PS-X9 are keeping an eye out on eBay Europe or Hi-Fi Do in Japan. Hi-Fi Do's website allows you to set up alerts so that they email you when an item corresponding to your alert comes in - this is how I found mine.

    Thanks

    Yes always watch eBay, not done Hifi do yet.

    But would like a 220v PS X9 if possible rather than jap 100v one.

    Do you have any photos of your X9 ?

    Don’t ask me why.
    It just does...

    My father was a watchmaker and when my twin brother and I were 14 he gave us both a
    Russian watch.
    Mine lasted for many years.
    Timex watches he sold were very good, too.

    The Sony Esprit system with Sony APM6 speakers is now fully up and running after 35 years in boxes!

    Sounds incredible!!

    But restoring the APM6 bass drive units did cost a fortune!!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
