Marantz SA10 sacd player
I am quite sure you could pick up a replacement traverse assembly (transport) via Encompass (if that is the problem).  You just need to locate a competent technician to help out.  Please let us know how this turns out and don't give up on that gre... 
how to fix a CD player
Once had an old Rotel CD player that would quit tracking.  It had a Phillips swing arm transport with a pivot bearing that went dry.  One drop of transmission fluid fixed it.  Make sure the grease you pick is not too heavy and plastic compatible.   
Omega Speakers Turnaround Time
@toudou   If you are thinking of purchasing a pair I can tell you that Louis is is fully trustworthy but he is slow.  Expect a wait.  My pair took a couple of months longer than quoted--but they were worth the wait.  He did a beautiful job on a cu... 
The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you?
The journey for me began with a modest but blue is beautiful Pioneer SX-636 driving a pair of Electrovoice Interface B's.  Could have done worse as a 17 year old kid.  
A GOOD dry record cleaning device
  @larryincmh  +1  I have done exactly the same thing for decades.  This brush actually pics up dust off the record.  Single most cost effective brush out there.  Can't believe this has not been resurrected.    
Omega Speaker Set up questions
@ptrck887   Ah, may be placement then.  Mine are in a second system where they need to be within two feet of the front wall.  
Bedini Amplifiers - two different builds/layouts of the same model amp?
So how do they sound relative to each other?  
Omega Speaker Set up questions
My Omega Super monitor 7's are are very full and balanced--nothing thin or tinny about them coupled to a Ray 6L6 SE amp. Quite the contrary.  Your problem lies elsewhere.  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Somehow, on this Good Friday, this discussion (along with others) all of a sudden seems like a  ridiculously trivial endeavor. Take a break.  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@rbstehno  "Plus there were many posts by the tekton group on agon that claimed their tektons were better than the $1M Wilson’s" Please, make a list of all the "MANY" Tekton owners who have made this claim. You can start by reviewing all the 5,6...

Ah, now the flies are really feasting on what they love the best.  
Getting into vinyl for the first time
Suggest enjoying what you have for a bit before you hop on board the upgrade train. For your given setup, sounds like you made some good changes. My small vinyl collection is approaching 50 yrs of age!  Half a century.  Still sounds great. I alwa... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@audioman58 you sound a bit like a woman scorned.  Please call B&W, Magico, whoever, and ask them for details on components in their crossovers.  Good luck.  Then expect something in return for "redesigning" their crossovers. Oh brother. You f... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@thecarpathian  Appreciate your clarification.  But understand how that simple statement is taken by others to suggest there are a bunch of unhappy Tekton owners out there trying to dump their speakers.  That's not the case at all.    
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@ 2psyop  Exactly.  There are a smaller number of "members" whose primary objective is to inflame and stir the pot.
