Bargains on ebay?

This very evening - Sony CDP-777ES for £560

Nice.

Wasn't the 777 one of the classic ones we never saw, or was it the 557 - I lose track of model numbers.

I think the last one of this series we saw in the UK was a single "7" digit IIRC. It was a smoothy as I recall and the last ones were flogged off for £550 approx in HyperFi....

You can tell he's chuffed as a badger, can't you? And rightly so! Keep on grinning from ear to ear, Stevey boy :lol: :eyebrows:

Oh, and welcome to the 777 club! :)

Dave, Mark will verify, but I'm pretty sure that the last of the truly great Sonys was the 777.

Marco.

At the time, it was being lamented that none came over here. Obviously some did, either grey imported, or a handful to the best city dealers perhaps. What a shame....... I believe the German audio scene was wetting itself over it and even Ash had some good things to say about these players (and I mean that as the sincerest compliment :lol:)

I am quite happy actually. Just hoping it's a good as it looks in the pics. The owner (he's had it from new) insists it's been only lightly used in the time he's owned it, so fingers crossed. :lol:

My plan is to get him to send it straight to Mark at Audiocom, so that he can get to work on it. Will be a bit tortuous not getting to see it first but it'll save postage cost and bother.
