SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement

No regrets. My Marantz SA10 lens gave up. It is now fix . I bought 2 extra lens for my Ruby and and my Sa10 player.If you are buying used player. Make sure you have a back up lens and tech to do it.

Don I have two good analog set up as well.I fell in love with vynil. But sacd with good sacp player is very close. I play sacd when I like convenience.Nowadays is the best time to collect sacd there is so much to choose from.

I agree if you don’t have collection of cds. And you are willing to learn streaming way to go. In my case I have large collection of cd, sacd, xrcd, so I don’t need streaming. Last axpona 2024 the WiFi at the venue got a problem. Many rooms can’t play music for the attendee. Some who are using turntable are lucky to demo their systems.

Op just buy brand new sacd player . That is not too expensive.

You can buy Ruby marantz open box at Music Direct and see if you have a tech who can install the lens just in case. The parts is available . If your player broke under warranty MD more like replace it. Because Marantz has horrible support when your player is out of warranty.The Ruby is equal to my SA10 in rca mode. They only differ on xlr.

Don the Marantz Ruby will just do fine in your nice system. I just check your system.But if you want more the Marantz SA 10 is the way to go. If you decided to get one of this player the laser assembly is only $51.Get one right away because later they disappear.its good to always have a back up.

Mahler123 very good informative advice.Youvare spot on.
