YB-2,
I'd considered sending my 700C boards to EW,but a long think on the situation led me to buy a 700C in the US,and have that sent to EW.
I couldn't take the 700C out of my system.It's the crucial piece of hardware which if absent from the system,the joy also absents itself.:tears:
As I said to EW,a man can never have too many 700Cs!!!
I'd love to hear your system YB-2.A good DD tt and great vintage electronics is the way to go.:yes:
PS An Aussie AKer sent me a PM saying "I see you have two 700Cs.Would you be interested in selling one?"
No.

Hello to all,
New on this forum, although this message follows for a long time, I wished to contribute my small share.
Not appears on the photograph the TA-D 900 Crossover and the PS-X 800 arms tangential, who are in my collection.
I have also at the cellar a pair of APM 4. But the suspensions of the boomer are Except services.
I also wished to make a small sign to Axel for are formidable work of the Vintageknob :tresbon:
In a friendly way,
xart

Bonjour Axel,
Il me semble que tu est un fan de SONY ES, Esprit non ?
Sache que je suis en train de récupèrer un DA-T 1500 ES et un SE-P 900, je pense que celà t'intèressera, je suis aussi à la recherche d'un TA-E 900, çà c'est mon rève depuis vingt ans rare et extrème, bien que mon TA-E 901 soit lui aussi dans une excellente forme.
J'achète beaucoup au Japon ayant un de mes meilleurs potes là-bas, férue de Hifi et en particulier "Sony gamme Esprit", de plus tu peut trouver des modèles bi-tensions sans trop de problème.
Mes deux amplis TAN 900 sont dans une forme olympique et avec mes Triangle humm !, et je ne m'en séparerais pour rien au monde.
je possede aussi un TC-K 88B qui me pose quelques problèmes mécaniques.
Pour les APM 4 je vais faire quelques photos que je posterai, mais si tu souhaite les voir c'est possible.
Très cordialement,
Xart

Beautiful Xart and welcome to AK.

Xart,
welcome to AK and:
Your collection is really impressive ! I love these Esprit devices, especially the APMs and the monoblocks ...
I´m collecting SONY gear like crazy, but I was able to get hold of only one Esprit device. These are really rare items, which are obviously loved by all their owners. That makes them even more unobtainable ...
Last weekend I was outbid on a TA-D900 :drool: . Grrrrrr
That was probably the last chance for the next years to get the following superlative four way active SONY/V-FET chain together:
PS-8750 with DL-304
CDP-701ES (analog section mod)
ST-A7 or Wega Lab Zero Tuner (also
known as the ST-A9)
Wega Lab Zero Pre (aka TA-E88)
TA-D900 Four way active crossover
TA-N901 or TAN-8550 high frequency amplifier
TA-N7B low/mid amplifier left side
TA-N7B low/mid amplifier right side
Yamaha B-1 sub bass amplifier
... playing into a pair of active mode modified SS-G5´s + Stereo subwoofer and later: SS-G9 and muuuuch later probably SS-GR1
Saying it with Martin Luther King: "I have a dream !"
So far, everything is ready except that damn crossover and the SS-G9, SS-GR1 (for sure). What a wonderful overkill of a dream ! Let´s continue dreaming ...

Dude, there's a pair of SS-GR1's on Hifido for a bit more than 5000€...

Insane...
Seen two or three of those Esprit TA-D900's on ebay the past few weeks, both went at equally insane prices...
But damn, that would quite the setup Mirko... I'll be coming over to your house as well when you get all that together
Absolon: that TT looks in perfect shape. Gotta love the wood finish on that one ! :drool:

wilke87,
... not sure.
The woofer looks like it comes from one of the SS-V series of '78/80 vintage but I don't see what Sony would do with Janszen 'stats. I say this because I own a pair of Janszen myself ;-) I love(ed) them but have never heard of Sony doing a mix'n'match with another manufacturer.. Can you indeed be a little more specific?

Very nice! Is that the original wood or did you remake? I just put the cabinet on my ST-5000FW and it is also very nice. Found a NOS. Finish looks similar. Glad it worked out well for you. :thmbsp:absolon said:

sony speakers
elaborating on sony speaker. My uncle who recently passed was Don kliewer he designed and made dlk speakers , in the early 80,s don had a state of the art soundlab and did some work for sony ,at that same time don manufactured janszen electrostat panels and crossovers. the two were combined for testing,my other uncle bought these speakers and i recently aquired them. no model number on them at all. just a janszen badge on the front dust cover with sony woofers.
