SCD-1 SACD read problem; Richard Kern/Audiomod

Hi-Rez Highway

New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

I offer a high recommendation to anyone considering Richard Kern/Audiomod for mods or repairs to a Sony CDP. After I replaced the sled motor and laser, the unit still refused to read SACDs. I then had a long and productive dialog with Richard that pin-pointed the problem through his suggestion to resolder all the Main Board connectors. Apparently the solder junctions of these connectors tend to fracture through repeated removal of the ribbon cables. This saved me the considerable expense of replacing the board. Richard's generousity with his time and thorough knowledge of hi-end Sony CDPs are tops.
Also thanks to Alex Pachev/APL for helping me with the laser replacement. This was a logical step toward resolving the problem.
