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?

Yes TVAD is correct he does not accept shipping stuff. If something happen your SA 10 fail to work Matthew try your best to find a technician locally. Iam sure you can find one. I believe it’s not as hard to install it. After all fail and you can’t find. Though Iam hoping your sa10 will stay healthy.Lets see how things will work on my sa10 . And if all good.Matthew I can sense you are a good guy. I can help just in case.

My guest Casper from stereo rehab will repair my SA10 no sweat. I am full trust.in him.So different than any technician I met.

Imatthew the sa10 is a very good sacd player, and very expensive not to think ahead.I learned a lesson when my Sony 9000es sacd player Modwright $3000 total including the player. It’s a very good player even after 10yrs. When the lens gave up? No more lens available. There I throw a good expensive sacd player. I wish I had the same thinking now securing the 9000 es.Unfortunately I did not know that time lens on sacd burn quickly sometimes.

Though Iam hoping your sa10 will stay healthy.

@jayctoy  , so am I, but as you say, one never knows, so as you suggested, I am thinking ahead.  Bummer that Stereo Rehab doesn't take stuff that is shipped.  To get to Chicago I'd have to drive across Ohio and then Indiana and then deal with driving through Chicago.  Not my favorite thing to do on a good day, but with my eyesight now a days, I definitely would not be up for it.  When and if it happens, I will explore other options, but at least I will have the lens.  Good to read that yours is now being repaired.  I bet that makes you feel good.  Keep us updated.  

I am feeling better now. Because to find parts correctly is very challenging? Thanks to Sharri . Looking for the right technician is a hard task. We have plenty here but most they are after your money and they have attitude.Yes I do feel good about meeting Casper to do repair. Courtesy of TVAD. Iam not gonna deny I got nervous I paid almost 6k for open box that’s a lot of money.l love both Ruby and SA10. I decided to buy both.That time I never thought vynil will really open up my eyes. So I settle for both sacd players.
