New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Good to hear your story, and PhillyB's comments - it allays my fears for my player.

You got a pretty good deal from Sony at $254 for a spindle motor and laser replacement - those 2 parts alone retail for about $340. My SCD777ES is going into the shop for a periodic cleaning and lube next week. I have this done about every 18 months or so at a local pro audio dealer (Full Compass, Madison, WI) who has a top notch service department which is also a Sony authorized repair center. So far, I've not had any of the problems described by others on this forum, and maybe regular maintenance has helped keep the unit healthy. But if my sled motor expires, I will have to pack it up and send it off to Sony, if my local folks cannot obtain the replacement part. Did you send your unit to the Laredo, TX Sony center? Were they responsive to phone calls? What materials did you use to pack up the beast for the trip?
