CDP choices-Looking for advice

Hi everyone,

In the market for a new CDP for my 2-channel setup.
-95% redbook playback but SACD and BD would be nice bonus as a all in one unit. I will also need to address video options aswell for watching mostly concert DVD's
-I do not want to sacrifice 2ch playback with a universal player.
-Budget 1500+/-

Players/scenerios under consideration.
Oppo 83SE-bang for buck award winner?$900 roughly
Marantz SA8003-Price is right+Oppo 80 or 83 for BD $1300-$1500
Marantz SA15s2-Sure looks sweet+Oppo 80 or 83 for BD $1700-$2000

Is there that much of an improvement on redbook cd's as I go up the scale?
I understand at some point there is diminishing return, just not sure where that is in this line up.

Thanks for the advice!

Regarding Buconero117's post, I have been unable to locate the Sony595 on the Sonystyle website. It shows as discontinued. If it is still available please provide a link or stop recommending a player that is no longer available.

I agree with Mitch2 as I also own a Lector 7TL, MK1 version, this is an exceptional CD player, roll in some Telefunken 12at7s and you have a first rate CD player with looks to match. MK1 versions can be found for $1500 to $1600, definietly worth the price.

The 595 has been discontinued for years.Buc is recommending the refurbished players that are available from time to time on the Sonystyle website.A tad bit of research on your part would have revealed this.

BTW, my compliments on the fact that you correctly asked for the noun "advice." My observation has been that about 90% or more of posts asking for advice incorrectly ask for the verb "advise."

Best comment I've read in a while

I appreciate everyone's repsonse, but not only am I more confused with all the choices, I'm worried about my grammer.

don't take this personally -- 'repsonse' is spelled 'response,', 'grammer' is spelled grammar. I know, I'm being a d*ck but couldn't refuse based on your post. As usual with audio posts, YMMV and IMO :)
