New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

None of that home remedy works

The laser itself wears out. It does not get dirty. Nothing you can do will fix it, other than replacement. You can risk doing it yourself if you're VERY handy, or find a reputable service center. There are plenty of them. Send along the worst SACD because most SC's don't have any on hand!

I have had the laser on my SA-11S1 replaced three times in ten years, twice under warranty, the last time for $350. It's a piece of shit transport that sounds amazing. I have replaced the Elna Silmic output caps with BG's, so I'm probably keeping it forever.

Peace,
