I used to own a 575 and I believe that you will enjoy the sound of the 500, which I also own. Please use surge protection on the 500 - they seem to be sensitive to spikes and so on. Nothing fancy in the way of protection. Give the SONY time to break in, and use decent cables.
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?
