Anybody heard Krell SACD mkIII?

Walter at Krell is pondering a remedy for my twice defective sacd standard...I'm praying for a new one!

Dave_b - Is the SACD Standard still in production? If so, then why isn't it listed on Krell's website? You might be better off asking Krell for a substantial discount towards a new Evolution 505 Player. I have'nt heard of a single failure with this Machine.

The standard is discontinued, but a few MKIII units were produced and are available from some dealers. I owned the 505 when it first came out..my first unit failed to read discs properly. The replacement worked fine. I sold it for financial reasons, along with my evo system. I have a 5 year warranty and alot of patience so I am confident krell will take care of me one way or another!

Do they still make SACD Standard mk III ? The player just disappeared from Krell´s web page.

The standard went missing over a month ago...no direct replacement in development. The MKIII is pretty much a 505 without cast connections. It is strange how the MKIII version was produced just as they decided to retire the player(of course two high priced/hiRez players in their lineup would be overkill). Krell is struggling to survive in the high end arena...I hope they can focus on what's important for their buyers, or else they will continue to decline.
