    Hi Tregan,

    Thanks for getting in touch and apologies about the delay in getting back to you.

    One worth looking at is the Cambridge Audio 752BD currently priced at £799.95.  It's fairly pricey but covers everything.  Cambridge Audio make some excellent HiFi equipment which shows when playing CDs through the 752.  Great blu-ray player too so a nice all rounder.

    Check the link below for more info:

    If you're looking something a bit nicer on the pocket check out the Marantz UD5007 currently priced at £249.95.  Another good player player made by an outstanding company who are also very focused on their HiFi.  Check the link below for more info:

    Let me know what you think.

    Thanks for the reply. I like that the CA does HDCD as I have some of those. There is a big price jump between the Marantz and CA. Anything inbetween?  No headphone socket on either - is this the norm now?

    Hi Tregan,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    You could check out the Denon DBT1713.  I may be able to still get my hands on some of these priced at £349.95:

    Hasn't been any UD players we've had with a headphone socket unfortunately :(

    Let me know what you think.

    hi,

    sorry for delay. Do you still have the Marantz 5007 at £249.9?  Also wondering about the Pioneer BDP-lx55 - do you have it and at what price? Any of these multi-region?

    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for getting in touch.

    The Marantz is now finished :(

    I can still get my hands on the Pioneer currently priced at £249.95.

    Unfortunatley neither are/were multi-region.

    Let me know what you think.

    Chris
