I think I may have once heard an Adcom gcd-575 and I think the Sony will be a little smoother on redbook cd's. The Sony's weakness is dynamics and overall resolution which it tends to gloss over, but for $150, whadya expect? I bought 2 of them and one of them conked out after a few days of light use, so I would suggest not buying w/o a rite of return. Also, if you're planning on using the Sony in an audio only system, you will not be able to use its track programming without a video hookup.
sony dvp-ns500v- how's the sound on redbook cd's?
I keep hearing that the SACD is great, but i have one crap load of regular old cd's and i was wondering what the performance of the sony on cd's is comparable to- does it compare with pricier cd-only players favorably? I'm replacing an old adcom gcd575- will i be dissapointed or pleasantly surprised?
