Hello Timperry,
I was using a Pioneer DVC-36 5 disc carousel when I upgraded to the Sony 999ES and I have not looked back. I compared it to some fine players, Camelot and the Sony 9000, to name just two, and I think that, for video, it is as good as any. I would not know what the sound is like for CDs because I use a separate, dedicated CD player for my 2 channel consumption. I would put the 999ES on the short list. Good luck and happy hunting.......John
