Looking for SACD player............


I’m replacing my Marantz SA8100. Looking at new Marantz SA8500. Anything else new or used  in that price range I should be looking at? Thanks.

@tpreaves - do you have many SACD discs?


I have a pretty good collection and add to it about monthly. Why do you ask?

"If it were me... I'd get a NOS / lightly used Sony SA-5400 ES and an extra laser sled / laser assembly for it - off eBay / Amazon.   I would not get it without the backup laser sled / laser assembly - which is the most likely part to need replacement after a bit of use."

I have a SA-5400ES SACD player which I love. The laser is now having problems reading discs. What options do I have for repairs? Where can I purchase a new laser assembly?

Thank you

Sony will have an authorized repair facility. It used to be located in Laredo TX. Now, I believe it is located in NY state. This would be my 1st consultation.

Thank you for replying to my post. I spoke to Modwright a few minutes ago. He is of opinion that parts are available. He does  not do repairs but would repair AND modify my unit. 

He promised to confirm parts availability, at which time I will ship the player to him.

It is so very kind of you to reply to my plea for help
