At €145, this Sony CDP-591 is ambitiously priced compared to the typical used market, where the median asking price sits at €78 and the 75th percentile caps out at €111 based on three recent EUR listings. When this model debuted in 1990, it carried a new price of ¥29,800, making the current €145 ask roughly double the upper end of the current local market range.
The CDP-591 remains a well-regarded Esprit-era player known for its smooth, refined sound and robust build quality, offering genuine hi-fi value for those seeking a reliable vintage CD source. However, given the price exceeds the 75th percentile significantly, this listing only becomes a worthwhile buy if the unit is in pristine, original-owner condition with all accessories and no service history gaps. Without confirmed pristine condition or rare extras, paying nearly €70 above the median feels risky for a 35-year-old player.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
