Marantz SA10 sacd player

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.

Hm, okay, you say so.

I did mention that it was amongst owners who post on forums.

In the past there has been no shortage of posts on forums, more so in the days of the sacd.net forum, about Marantz laser failures and terrible Marantz service.

The Marantz Reference Series players from SA-7 on, have seemed to have better laser lifetimes that earlier players.

The more worrisome note in this thread is the Marantz Service Center that would not repair a Marantz player for customer pay. In the 00's I used 2 Marantz Service Centers for Marantz repairs that I paid for, with no issues whatsoever.
