oppo bdp105 or cambridge 752


Having just purchased a quality 70inch flat screen tv, I realised that I would need a blu ray player. Instead of buying a mass market 200. dollar player, I decided to invest and purchase one of the above. My cd player is rather old, a meridian, still functions well and this would also be used as a cd player as a sort of update. I listen to mostly classical music and use electrostatic speakers with tube amplification. Oppo, well received, seems to have a quality issue with many quirks, Cambridge, who I have tried to call for technical information, after a few calls, has yet to return them (not very positive). I am looking for a unit that is reliable, well built and of course has a quality play back. Not very interested in numerous computer or digital ports.. Any thoughts? Thanks Melinda

I have owned an earlier Oppo, the BD-83, for about three years and have never had any quality/reliability issues with it. However, you do need to ensure your firmware is current or you may find some performance quirks on certain discs. I also have appreciated the fact that every time I send an email query about something they respond within several hours. Customer service is one of Oppo's high points.
I have been very happy with my oppo mod 95 from the Upgrade Co. never had any problems with the oppo or mod work. i would rate oppo team very high in taking care of customers. I use it for SACD/CD play back useing the XLR outs with much satisfaction. In its price point the bluray is top notch. The 105 video/blueray is a big step above the 95. The SACD/CD play back of the 105 vs the 95 is only slightly better in my opinon.
