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.
