Krell SACD Standard problem

I too had a similar problem with the SACD Standard. The drive mechanism is the cause and Krell will replace it at no cost to you, no problem - if your unit is under warranty, it should be... having said that I hope it was a authorized dealer that sold it to you!!!!!

Dont loose faith yet, I can tell you you'll be very happy once the drive mechanism is all sorted out :-)

OK, I have taken it to the serviceman,he replaced the drive....and after I have used it a couple of times, same problem came up. What do I do? I am really upset with this.

Sounds like Aplhifi has it right. You might want to contact him/her for more details.

I purchased one of these over the summer as a special deal that Krell is pimping out thru a well known dealer. Had the same transport problems, dealer took it back without any hastle. Called up Krell and had a lengthy conversation with their sales manager about the experience. Bottom line, Krell cares more about making a few sales on these defective units than their long-term survival. They lost a customer for life for taking this underhand/deceptive business practice. They tried to make believe that there were no known complaints about the Ver 1. And guess what, they still continue to offer the SACD Standard Ver 1 thru this very same dealer.

Was anyone able to satiusfactorily resolve these issues? I just received a Krell SACD standard and it essentially barfed on the first disc I gave it. Best of all it sent a square wave through the system as it went down. I find it disturbing that Krell is still allowing these units to float around on the market place. Granted it's not like the pinto or a batch of bad meat, but still, when I sit down to listen I want to relax, not crap myself in response to transport failure.
