Pulled the lid off of my Sony GX90ES, because it was hard to find good nudes of it. Thought I'd share with y'all.

Btw, I'm not a receiver kind of guy usually, but this is a spectacularly good sounding one. Easily bests any of the monster receivers I had.

Here it be. Dust, cobwebs and all.

I have one of these too but alas it's missing the side burns. A very under rated component in my book.
 
Interesting. I have a Sony STR-DA777ES open and it is built to what appears to be high standards. Nichicon Fine Tune power supply caps and loads of Nichicon gold and black caps, the Audio Grade from them.

I know the GX90 is supposed to sound great, but their top surround receiver even with the good stuff is bested by a Luxman R-1040 on Vandersteen 2Ces. I guess they just don't make em like they used to.

Huh?

Don't really know what the 777ES has to do with my GX90. Other then sharing the Sony badge.
 
Totally different layout. But I'm working on getting a GX10ES also, so I'll let you know. :)
 
Well, if you ever find yourself sober, dressed and in Toronto, come on by for a listen. :)
 
I like the look , I have a Gx10 and its receiving some love now.. It has new caps and it is powerful.. Almost very separate esque sounding.. Its a receiver that will make your speakers do their job.. its not a big influential sounding component but has great control of the bass and detail.. Iam excited to hear it on my refurbished Vandy2c when I get it back..
 
Cool, thanks for sharing! If I was still in the market for ES, that receiver would have been on the list. When I was collecting, I almost got one...twice! If you want to go a step further, start looking into a TOTL ES integrated from that time... ;)
