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.

The SACD Standard suffers from the same problems that all other players do that use the same crappy Phillips transport. They all crash and keep crashing. Read the review of the Esoteric SA-60 in the new Stereophile. They also mention the Phillips problem.

I guess I will stay away from the Krell. To bad, the player made very nice music.

Krell is not the only company to fall prey to Bad Phillips Drive Syndrome. Or BPDS.
