In 1990:
730ES tuner was £300
X77ES CD player was £1300
Multiply by 2.5 to get it in today's money. Would have been an expensive stack.
Note that 'ES' models intended for the UK did not have the wooden end cheeks. No idea why that was.
Yeah, the Japs are funny about stuff like that. Expensive, yes, but I'd have thought more so... I reckon that the pre and power amp would be killer.
I also thought it was my CDP in there, which is an X-777ES, not an X-77ES, unless that was a typo?

Some items not quite vintage maybe, but getting there-

Though the B77 and Tandberg TD20a are certainly vintage..
In the pic you posted it's an X77ES. Only two '7's :)Quote:

There was both an X777ES as well as an X77ES. The 777s fetch more on the used market than do the 77s.Quote:

Same era but 777 components were top of the range. Basic rule of ES is higher numbers better except single digit designations which are in their own little hierarchy, again higher is better.Quote:
