Krell SACD Standard question....


Have any of you had to send back your SACD standard for transport problems after buying it used? If so what was the cost and turnaround time? Also did the fix last? I am thinking about getting one of these used and although it has no problems now I want to get an idea of what I am in for if something goes wrong.

An acquaintence of mine had the transport fail, twice.
He no longer ownes the Krell SACD Standard, after having it repaired twice.

(As he said:
Fool me once, shame on you;
Fool me twice, shame on me;
Fool me thrice, and its time to move on!)

I don't know what he paid to have it replaced, but if you wish, I can attempt to find out for you.
(Contact me via email if you want me to try to get this from him.)

FYI: He purchased the Esoteric DV60 to replace the Krell.
I have not heard that particular unit, but if you are looking for a CD/SACD player, I would highly recommend the Ayre C-5xe. Another friend has it and it sounds very, very good.

My two cents worth.
