Guys and gals,

Got lucky this weekend. I have needed a new player that will play SACD's after I done nothing but chase problems with my Sony 9000's and now my 3910 is getting a weak laser.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PIONEER-PD-D9-J-ELITE-SACD-CD-AUDIOPHILE-PLAYER-AIR-STUDIOS-WOW-/321772018285?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=RbPBGb1H%2FgRqkCU1b8G4i%2B%2FPjd4%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc


I've heard these are good players just hope the "upgrades" did mess it up.

    I just hope it shows up in one piece and not in a ROUND box.

    Congrats on a solid pick up.
    Grab some coat hanger, bend it to fit and get that bad boy wired into your system ASAP! Remember...cables don't matter! ;)

    need any Sony parts? I have two machines and some extra(used) lasers for them. That machine's weakest link is the laser for sure. You cannot get a new one anymore we are regulated to used Sony330/530 machines, which by the way were low end machines:(

    Player came box was in great shape it took it 24hrs to get to me from Wisconsin to my house ground in central Illinois. All the new caps and other stuff looked good except for the new RCA jacks. They are loose and do not fit the factory holes well at all. I emailed the seller told him my concerns and for once instead of an argument he said I understand completely will 30.00 get you what you need?" I said yep and in 20min he had 30.00 in my PP account. All I have to say is this player just may be my last player for some time unless some smoking deal comes along. I really liked all my Sony ES CD or DVD/SACD players. In fact I will keep my Sony X33 es CD player just because to me it is sweet and I spent 3 weeks recapping the whole unit (56 Caps), not too mention it really was my first solid player I bought new with my own money.

    loving the details of this player

    nooshinjohn dude hit me up please I'd like to chat with you on this player
