Marantz SA10 sacd player

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.

They are plenty of used  sa 10 lately on the market ? I saw some at TMRaudio.com .If you love this Ruby and SA 10 get extra lens for back up.

Sharri basically Casper will just replace the traverse optic lens. I sent you PM too.

Yes, I received the PM. Thanks.

BTW, you are the first known person to have an SA-10 laser failure and replacement amongst player owners on audio forums. These players have been around quite a while and the laser mechs do seem quite reliable. However, it is entirely possible that this could happen again to your player. It might be wise to check the initial Laser Output Level of the new laser, as that will give you a benchmark figure. And then once or twice a year just check the sacd LOL.
