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?

My SA 10 lens is beginning not to recognize redbook. So I knew I have to drop it today . I brought the parts I bought from Encompass.

Casper explain to me what need to be changed.He is legit. Charging me between $230 to $250. Very fair.

Fair indeed!

When Kaspar delivers a repair, he always connects the device to his system so the customer can hear it and see it’s fixed. So, you’ll be able to experience his vintage system. By the way, all the vintage tube electronics lining the shelves in his waiting room are owned by him, and most aren’t for sale.

The room is very nice. You are right more tube vintage behind the stores. TVAD thank you again.

@jayctoy  , I run on the neurotic side and being a bit paranoid I always try to think ahead.  I may have to contact stereo rehab about shipping them my unit IF ("IF" being the operative word) mine ever takes a dump.  $230 sound reasonable.  This is a great thread for SA10 owners thanks to all of you who have contributed.  Encompass sent me an email saying that my insurance policy is in the mail.

Kaspar doesn’t accept long distance repairs. He insists on local only, where he can speak one-on-one with the customer, demonstrate that the component works properly after the service, and the component has no chance of being damaged in shipping. 

I asked him about this.
