Wadia S7i not reading the contents of certain discs


When I load any SONY or ECM cd into the player, the blue 'Loading' display stays lit until it finally gets tired and flashes a 'Stop/Idle' error message.  I know the machine doesn't like scratched or dirty discs, but it refuses to play cd's from these two labels, which include Schiff's Bach recitals and Beethoven cycle (sigh) as well as Perahia's studio recordings, etc. 
 
I used a lens cleaner without success.  Has anyone else encountered this problem ?

What more recent machine offers a Wadia-like house sound ?

thanks so much - I just burned a cd-r and it plays perfectly.  It's a relief to know that the laser mechanism is not at fault, which would mean another trek back to Audio Research, which replaced the transport about a year ago.
