Esoteric k-03 sacd players


I am thinking of buying a used Esoteric k-03 player...I see a few posts on here complaining about noisy transports on some of these players....how much of a problem is this? Also, would I be likely to be able to get Esoteric to fix this kind of a problem if the unit was bought used? Obviously the warranty would not apply in that case but I have heard of some manufacturers refusing to touch their eqpt if not from the orig. owner.

I have the K-07 not exactly the same level as the K-03 but I can attest to the noise of the transport opening, its like a dump truck going across railroad tracks, with that said once the CD loads it's dead quite. The player is simply fantastic elsewise.

If you ship the player to Esoteric for a nominal fee they will recertify and issue a warranty, don't know how long that period is, but check with Esoteric.
