Cambridge Audio Product Reliability


I have owned a Cambridge Audio AZUR 840C CDP for about 5 years, out of those five, it's been in for warranty repair twice and the last repair was out of warranty at a cost to me of about $300. In each instance, the repairs consisted of failed circuit components, and the last, a toested transport. Bottom line, though a great player I think they must have used cheap parts. I am considering their AZUR flagship IA, but am concerned about quality and reliability, can anyone speak to this, and by that I mean their own experience with Cambridge Amps - Thanks!

3 years seems to be too long for Cambridge. Boght years ago their integrated as a gift to my brother that failed in 19mo-s with one channel dead.
that is to say that Cambridge is an example that they can't get done anything perfect. if not one critical problem than the other critical one will reveal.
that is one of the reason why i've backed out from cambridge dacmagic
