Sony
PS-X555ES
(1983 - 1992)
The
only ES-tagged turntable, available for almost 10 years but only
to see the demise of the LP standard...
Gone
with it would be Sony's expensive effort on the Biotracer
arm which market-wise never really made the grade, even if the horribly
expensive 1978 PS-B80
sold in fact quite well.
The PS-X555ES record player used a
tangential version, rather different from the 1977/78 original design
and different as well from the one used in the 1981 PS-X800.
Whatever the brand or technology, tangential groove reading never
really made the grade either btw...
