I've been collecting Sony ES pieces from this era for a long time and this particular model is by far my favorite and best piece.  I have two of them and they are rock solid so I've decided to part with one of them.  Initially I was concerned about having it break so I purchased a second unit.   I have since learned about he reliability of this particular model transport and now realize how incredibly reliable and bomb proof it is so Im comfortable selling my second unit.  
To understand how well built this unit is all your have to do is pick it up.  It must weigh over 45 lbs.  Inside you will quickly notice the absolute lack of any plastic parts in the transport mechanism.  They are all metal and the laser transport runs on stainless rails.   The laser transport is made of cast aluminum and is regarded as the  most reliable laser ever made.  The power transformers are potted and the highest quality capacitors are used throughout.  There seem to be more regulated power supply sections than a CD could ever use.  The chasis is made out of solid copper and all surfaces are treated with some sort of anti resonant rubber material.  The PC boards are made out of epoxy and there are copper busses running throughout.  Some experts have speculated that there is no way Sony made any profits on this particular model.  Its as if the engineers were given an unlimited budget regardless of the selling price.  Subsequent models may look similar from the outside but they were made inferior with every generation to the point of weighing 10 lbs and not a single metal part in sight.  
Performance wise it's exceptional.  You'll be hard pressed to find a player that can access tracks any quicker.  Its almost instant as you scroll though the tracks.   Even the drawer is fast, providing a reassuring thump every time you operate it.  
On the back you'll find digital and analogue outputs selectable via a switch. The only bummer is that it doesn't have balanced outputs, just single ended. 
The unit looks extremely good for its age.  There are no noticeable scratches or wear marks.  The face plate is near mint and the display is bright and legible like the day it was made.  The classic rosewood side panels are included.  
I will pack this unit professionally and set the transport locking screw in place for safe transport.  
Available for pickup and audition in my home listening room in Ridgewood, NJ and pickup in Manhattan.  
Cheers. 

WHO WE ARE 


Skyfi.nyc is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning and reselling of select high end audio equipment.  



We only buy equipment the we admire and are passionate about.  No mid-fi, no gimmicks and no junk.  



Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ year of experience in the Hifi world.  If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specification it will not be sold.  We are select about the equipment we purchase focusing in mostly analogue high build quality American and European built units which we find to have an incredible long lifespan while maintaining good sonics.  



Through our sister company, which is an authorized dealer for McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, ClearAudio, Project and Sony ES, we have access to OEM parts and service support.  If you are local and are looking for any new equipment for the above mentioned manufacturers, please drop us a line as we can arrange both sales and professional installation in the tri-state area.    



TRADE IN POLICY 


We accept trade-ins of equal or lesser value under certain conditions just ask and let us know the exact model, condition and what accessories are included such as a box, remote, manual etc.  We will only consider high end equipment from mainstream manufacturers such as McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Audio Research, Krell, etc. and would typically pass on displays, projectors, receivers, dated processors and mid-fi equipment of any type.  We will offer a fair value for your equipment but keep in mind we are running a business and will need to be able to sell the equipment at a profit after investing a great deal of time and resources in testing, certifying, repairing, cleaning and packaging the incoming equipment.  If your looking for top dollar we suggest attempting to sell it directly to an end user.  



HOW TO VISIT US


We are currently operating from a residence in Ridgewood NJ.  Your welcomed to make an appointment if there is a piece of equipment you would like to see in operation before or after purchase.  We have a well equipped, dedicated listening room with tons of equipment of all makes and models.  We are not a store so please don’t make an appointment if your just curious as how a speaker or piece of equipped sounds.  In essence no tire kickers please.  



If you are in NYC and cannot make it out to Ridgewood, we can arrange pickup in Union Square (14th Street) after the purchase.   You can call or text  646 852 2073 with any questions or to schedule an appointment.  



Thanks for looking and please send us your email address if you would like to receive a list of the equipment we receive from time to time.  We promise not to bombard you with junk email.
