I have an excellent condition Sony SCD 777ES top loading SACD player. This is the one that was raved about at its original cost of $3500. In addition to that this player has been professionally modded with all the Audiocom.com mods, Superclock3, Richard Kerns propietary mods (see Audiomod.com) and is in mint condition. A total of $7000 has been invested into this player and it sounds it. It is the best source I have heard, period. I am the original owner. It has one issue in that with some Hybrid SACD's it plays them on the Cd layer instead of the SACD layer. You can restart the disc a couple of times and it will play the SACD layer with no problems.The problem could be that my discs are scratched from keeping them in one of those books with the plastic pockets for storing discs. The problem only happens occasionally and its easy to work around it. This player is in wonderful condition-probably 9 out of ten on the Audiogon grading system. Offered at $2000 shipped. You would have to spend more than double this to get better sound.
