Excellent sound
Very dim display
Temperamental with older CDs and CD-Rs
Can't view time remaining on tracks/disc
Bought my Cambridge Audio CD5 DVD player from Richer Sounds (terrible service) and used with NAD 302 amp and Tannoy Mercury speakers. Sound is incredible: revealing dynamic and realistic. Classical music is reproduced with excellent fidelity. I'm fond of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and the CD5 reproduced their recording with such amazing clarity I was blown away!
But the player refused to play CD-R discs whereas my cheap old CD bought in Currys in 1988 has no problem. And the service I received from Richer Sounds when trying to get this fault resolved was dreadful.
