Vintage Sony CDP X303ES CD Player Superb 10/10 conditions.

This was purchased brand new on 4-19-1994 from Myer-Emco in Baileys Crossroads Virginia and I am the original owner of it. An impressively built and handsomely elegant top of the line vintage CD player from Sony.

The CDP-X303ES is from 1993 and was the second most expensive cd player in the Sony ES line second only to the top of the line X707ES. Consensus has it they are internally the same machine with the addition of gold trim, balanced outputs and thicker steel lining added to the X707ES for extra weight to impress the easily persuaded and unwary.

The X303ES weights a hefty 30lbs which is in line with some of the heavy hitters of the early 90s. Performance is exceptional offering buttery smooth loading mechanism and almost instantaneous reading of most digital discs upon loading. This unit reads both original and burned CDs without any problems and sounds superb.

The X303ES features both fixed and variable outputs along with a coaxial digital output for use as a transport. The headphone output is another standout feature on this machine, it delivers incredible dynamics and ear pounding performance with most medium to high efficiency headsets. 

This unit was used sparingly and it as never needed any service due to low usage. You just get to sit back and enjoy it. It is the gift that keeps on giving.

This CD player comes equipped with remote control and wood side panels which enhance the Elevated Standard look and are an added bonus since most X303ES sold by other sellers don't have or offer them in their listings.

Condition is 10/10. I literally cannot find a single scratch on it. Overall rating is a strong 10/10. The remote control is original to this unit and so is everything else that you see in the pictures.

There you have it, it you are looking for a solid digital reference component with quality and elegant looks to match your ES high fidelity system or simply a top notch CD player/transport to handle digital media duties in your audiophile set up this player is for you. The pictures don't do it enough justice therefore if you need additional pictures feel free to ask. Due to the heavy weight shipping overseas may be high. Local pick up is highly encouraged and will obviously cut out shipping charges. Actual shipping charges will be charged and calculated (just need your zip code) based on weight and your location. Everything that you see in the pictures come with it which I kept since the day I bought it. Not sure? Ask questions. The only stupid questions are the ones that you don't ask. Need a reference? On eBay they are 2240 positive's and 0 negatives under the same user ID.
