Fint skick i originalförpackning. Har använts sparsamt som SACD-spelare samt som digital källa för CD, och som sådan står den sig mycket väl mot modernare modeller (se t.ex. tester av dylika Sony ES-spelare på audiosciencereview) med hög ("extrem") byggkvalitet. Jag köpte spelaren ny och är ende ägaren. Lasern bytt av service-verkstad för ett antal år sedan (efter att den först nyttjats som DVD-spelare). Pris 3000 Kr. Upphämtning i centrala Göteborg.
What matters most here: is kr 3,000 close enough to the usual market to justify a quick buy? Yes — against your local benchmark, it’s basically at the median of kr2,932 and only a hair above the 75th percentile of kr2,966, so this reads as fair rather than cheap or ambitious.
That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is complete and working properly, because this is a well-regarded ES-series Sony with strong DVD picture quality and respected SACD playback. The included cables and accessories are a small plus, especially on an older digital player where missing bits can be annoying. The real buyer check is functional: tray smoothness, disc loading, HDMI/component output, and SACD/CD playback. If those are clean, this is an easy-to-like pickup at the price.
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.
