I'm looking at a second hand Sony SCD222ES in a local hi-fi shop. As usual, you read the user reviews and half the world thinks it's smooth and wonderful and the other half calls it bright and thin. If you've heard this player, what is your impression? I'd like to get some more insight before I purchase it. I don't have the opportunity to audition it at home first. I'm looking for something with a smooth and warm sound with good resolution. I will be using it for redbook cd playback.

- I had it for a short time, for Redbook only. You can safely skip it. - carcass93 14:37:16 09/15/14 (2)

- Well... that's the thing - "better", especially with digital, always means pretty much the same, IME. - carcass93 13:05:18 09/16/14 (0)
