这个是什么级?
TA-F777ES
(1984)
The REAL fisrt ES integrated amplifier which, however, was not available outside Japan.
The TA-F777ES was designed by Mr Kanai, senior designer at Sony (and still active at Sony today), unlike the TA-F555ES best-seller which was designed later, compeletely separately and by somebody else... The reasons for this separate designs is a mystery but quite typical from Sony :) However, to make things even, the structure of the updated TA-F555ES II took much of the original F777ES, only smaller, and was tagged, just like the latter, a Best Product in 1985 (the F555ES wasn't).
At 19kg, 2x 180W on 4Ohm loads and up to 2x 550W on 1Ohm loads, the F777ES was no toy but is now quite rare - why Sony kept it available for only a year in Japan and didn't export it either is also a mystery. Originally meant to receive wood sideburns... just like the F555ES II.
TA-F555ES
TA-F555ESII
(1983...1985...1987)
The TA-F777ES topper, like a few other early ES units, was not released outside its country of origin so, elsewhere (everywhere), the F555ES represented the top of the newly (re)launched ES series. A fairly basic amp if very healthy indeed, and quite a best-seller, too. But the ES line was starting afresh and the PPS, Heat-Pipe and other "old" technologies had vanished... The one reminiscence is the placement of the volume knob: left, just like the pre-Esprit and ESPRIT preamps, thus hinting that these amps also used the "simple signal path" inaugurated with the TA-E88(B) in 1976 - but hinting only.
The F555ES was largely upgraded in mid 1985 (F555ESII), gaining power and weight, replacing the AUX input with 2 a/v inputs plus loop/monitor and abandoning the pF settings for MM carts (sign'o'the times). Mostly, inside, the F555ESII was a smaller... TA-F777ES :) This revised version garnered a Stereo Sound "Best Product" award... just like -surprise- the original F777ES!
