Thanks for your quick response. I purchsed the 2200 and I'm still testing it out. I did an A/B comparison with my basic sony NS-325 dvd player and found only minor differences. There was very little diffence in the video portion, but that was not my main reason for buying the 2200. I wanted to jump into the SACD and DVD-audio market and I read many good reviews on the 2200. My speaker system consists of 6 matched KEF Q-series speakers and a Velodyne sub and the 1050 receiver.
As far as the audio portion, I made comparisons using the Diana Krall Live in Paris DVD and the Eagles concert DVD. I found the 2200 to be softer and less bright(more analog sounding)and less digital. The 2200 seemed more open, but the Sony sometimes seemed more detailed on certain tracks. Sometimes doing an A/B comparison can drive oneself crazy. So I invited my brother to compare and he had the same opinion. We both go back to the days(late '70's) when we both had KEF reference speakers and enjoyed the smooth sounding KEFs. I haven't tried the SACD since I'm waiting to buy the interconnect cables which is why I posted this topic. Ronrags
