New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

I just "may" owe Philips a small apology -

believe it or not. I had been complaining that my CDR-795 showed the same "reliability" as the SACD-1000.

Last night I removed the cover to see if I could manually clean the laser. Figured what the Hell. It was DEAD anyway wasn't it? What I found amazed me - one of those little plastic washers that come on spindles of CDs.

I must have put it in on top of a disc by accident and had it fall on or near the laser interfering with it. I immediately slid the cover on and did a 4x CD copy - played back just fine on the SACD-1000. So - I popped another in at 1x as I was retiring for the night.

Played fine on the 1000 this AM.

What are the chances of THAT happening twice??
