Marantz SA10 sacd player


I love this  player , after 3 yrs and 2 months I purchase it. It doesn’t read single layer sacd. It’s out of waaranty.So United Radio marantz authorize won’t repair it. Is this a common issue on this expensive sacd player?

Some time ago I wrote about Aging Mode and how people can check their laser hours and laser output levels. I check my laser hours on the first of every month, just because I can do it. I also check laser output levels every 6 months. The laser output level is the T21 and T22 in Aging Mode. The critical numbers really are the T2 hours and the T22 output levels. These are the sacd laser numbers. I just checked mine. In the past 6 months I put 330 hours on my sacd laser. The T22 output level was unchanged. 

I would urge every user to keep track of their sacd laser output level, the T22 check. It is simple and easy to do.

jayctoy,

Since you are the one with the sacd laser issue, it would be informative if you could check and post your T22 level.

If you cannot do it, then I imagine Casper at Stereo Rehab would do it before opening up your player. It takes only a few seconds, if you know what to do.

Afterall, if the LOL is in the good area, between 1000 and 2100, then the laser does not need replacing. 

I suggest letting Kaspar do his job and resist giving him instructions. He is a very detail oriented person. He will take care of you.
