willland Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I have for sale a Cambridge Audio 751BD universal(BD, CD, SACD, DVD, DVD-A, etc.) player that has performed flawlessly with all disc formats and network music streaming from my PC for the last 3 years. Overall condition is very good. Reasons for selling: Eliminating components from TV stand for better access and heat dissipation. Using new Oppo 105 as DAC(from SMART TV), network music file streaming, and multi format disc use where before both Cambride Audio 840C CDplayer/DAC and 751BD both were needed. The shipped price of $675.00 $625.00 $600.00 $575.00 $525.00 $450.00(with HDMI cable and RCA cables) includes original box, manual, wireless dongle, remote, and Bill's personal touch "packing to withstand bomb blast", Fed Ex Ground shipping, and I eat PayPal fee as always. Local pickup price is $650.00 $600.00 $575.00 $550.00 $500.00 $425.00(with HDMI cable and RCA cables). Original MSRP was $1249.00.

willland Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 After a bit of research, a little price reevaluation was in order. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 A little more info here. The CA 751BD is basically an Oppo BDP-95 in a BDP-93 chassis. Both Oppo and CA use the same Mediatek chipset for video and user interface. They use their own audio tweaks though. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted March 30, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 30, 2017 If there's one guy here that has always had super nice gear and takes really good care of it it's you. Surprised it hasn't sold already. I still have the Acurus A200 you sold me several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thank you for the nice complement. May regret selling the CA but I have regretted parting with other gear also. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Adding more extras to the sale. +/- $150.00 value of all of "extras" added since original post. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Did I happen to mention what a fantastic CD/SACD player the 751BD is? Shameless plug, I know. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 If there is anyone even marginally interested in the 751BD, please PM me and we can converse. I really don't want to sell my new(to me) Oppo BDP-105. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 What can I do to make this happen? A super combo pack with my Cambridge Audio 640A v2 integrated/840C CD player/Dac? Or I keep the 640A/840C combo and sell my Integra DTM-40.4 receiver/DPS-10.5 player? Or I add a Sony CDP-CE375 multi-disc player to the original listing? I am not desperate but must liquidate.

willland Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 15 minutes ago, Tasdom said: Keep the OPPO If the 751BD does not sell the Oppo unfortunately goes. IMO, neither sounds better than the other. The Oppo just allows me to use one piece to do what both Cambridge Audios perform. I like the smaller form factor of the 751BD but it combined with the 840C do take up more room in my TV stand. 15 minutes ago, Tasdom said: bump! Thanks for the bump.

willland Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Another price(-$50.00) drop. $525.00 shipped $500.00 local pickup As mentioned in an earlier post, the 751BD is CA's flagship equivalent of the Oppo flagship BDP-95. They both use the same OE chipset for interface and for video processing/upscaling but each have their own upgraded audio tweaks(analog output stage, DAC chips, etc.). Just to put things in perspective. Sound/build quality order first to last. 1. Oppo BDP-105 2. CA 752BD 3. Oppo 95 3. CA 751BD 4. Oppo BDP-83SE 5. Oppo 103 6. Oppo 93 6. CA 651BD 7. Oppo BDP-83 Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
