Hi UK Audiofreaks,

I'm considering to buy a stereo set (CD player, Amplifier, Tuner and DVD)
I've heard that Cambridge might be a good choice.

Is there a reason why NOT to buy this brand ???

My parents have a quite old bottom of the range Cambridge amplifier,
which I modified a little while ago to reduce the sensitivity on one
input. Its build construction and the components used were perfectly
adequate for audio. It has run reliably for some years and was a very
good buy.

I have one of their DVD players and replaced it with a Pioneer in my
main system. This was not because of the sound quality - which was
fine - but because it had a few ergonomic rough edges. (For example,
it flashes "NO DISC" when first switched on, which is irritating and
it is not possible to switch it to standby from the front panel.)
