My advice: not be afraid to pop up the hood. In my case the plastic pulley cracked, the price of a new one was 1% of shipping for repair. What really bummed me was that Wadia tech support said that they do not have CD/SACD mechs if I need a new one! Thats for a $15k toy going out of warranty just 2 years ago!!! Reminded me of my fling with Krell SACD Standard, but Krell at least offered a real generous buyout toward Standard III...

When I called Linn about troubles with my Linn Classik the response was No!, it is no longer serviceable. My Naim CDS3 got its transport fixed and upgraded twice over the last 5 years. Wadia?... Another horror story!... Wilson Audio has a stash of drivers for their very first offering from like zillion years ago, others ask you, very politely, to go somewhere else (the place you do Not want to go!). This is why I keep both CDS3 and Wadia 781se in my system, who knows when my Wadia dies. And if I sell CDS3 I might get stuck with thousands of CDs and very pricey options for CDS3 substitute.
