Thed: Don't know if lasers are still available. This example reads CD-R's so that is indicative of a strong laser.
Arrow: I'm not getting a high pitched whine or any other electro-mechanical noise from this player. I wouldn't mind getting a PD-91. I had a couple of older Denon DCD's and thought the sound a little dark. Don't know about the newer ones...
That unit is so nice looking on the inside, i'd build a plexi case for it so i could see in.
really nice!
very nice, Sam!!!
do you have the side panels for it?
Ive had my X55ES for 15 yrs now ,,,play it all the time... I dont know how long the laser will last...But the laser disc sled is built like a tank. Sony built this one to last. I wish i could find another one.
How about a picture of the mechanism with the drawer open?
The top of the line Denon players often used a Sony mechanism, if I remember correctly. Problems with the laser may occur eventually, but the sound is great.
I don't know how much use the 777 had before I got it. It will be 19 years old in March. Don't know if it has a Sony mechanism. It does have some Toshiba, and Sony chips in it. Not trying to take your thread over SoCal Sam.
Warren: Here it is...
What do you see inside?
