FWIW I happened into a PCD-2 in perfect condition with remote.... came with an entire system. I bought years ago..nice CD player, even given the age.
I sold it as I was concerned of the age of the component, then spent $2K to improve on sound (went to a Linn Ikemi). If I had my hindsight, which you never do, I would have kept the PCD 2 until it died (I sold it for ~$450) and worried about another player then.
I can't help you with the reviews, but for me the PCD-2 was pretty smooth when I owned it..... then again I have taken this hobby up a few notches since then so.....
