Angeboten wird „Sony MDP-999 LD/CD Player“ von Sony als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „CD Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2753072931 endet am 16.07.2026 um 13:49 Uhr.
Sony’s 3-CD changers are solid, practical mid-era hi-fi boxes: easy to live with, usually reliable when well kept, and handy if you want one player to cover a lot of discs without fuss. At €1,500, this is clearly ambitious versus the recent used market: it sits well above the €1,078 75th percentile and far beyond the €284 median, so I’d only lean in if this is a genuinely rare variant, museum-grade presentation, or comes with something unusually compelling.
If you’re buying for use rather than collecting, the appeal is convenience and Sony’s generally competent transport/DAC engineering, not sonic exotica. That makes condition, laser health, tray smoothness, and remote/included accessories the real value drivers. In good shape it could still be a nice daily spinner, but at this price the listing needs strong evidence of exceptional originality, low hours, or scarcity to justify itself.
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.
