I have a Marantz SA15S1 player I bought earlier this year and it seems to have a problem.  When a disc is loaded and the drawer is closed, as the speed ramps up there is a noticeable vibration that either continues or stops when top RPM is reached.  Sometimes opening and closing the drawer stops it but more often than not, it continues.  I read somewhere that the spindle on the player was either over sized or undersized thereby causing the resonance.  Has anyone had a similar experience and if so, what is the solution?  Does Marantz stand behind a problem like this?  It is very annoying and pretty much inexcusable for a player of this level.

Thanks in advance for your input.

ps...we are in the midst of building a new house so my Marantz is in storage at the local mover's warehouse along with just about everything else I own and enjoy.  I won't have access to the piece until May-June 07 so would assume Marantz would still honor its 3 yr. warranty at that time.  How well do they stand behind their goods?  (side note:  I did a spellcheck and it suggested changing "Marantz" to "marinate"...you may want to let that soak in...)

Well, I don't know any specifics about the problem, but I would think Marantz would definitely fix it under warranty, esp. if it's a higher-end unit. 

As for waiting 3-4 months before doing anything... well, I wouldn't wait at all if possible.  Besides, if you have to ship it somewhere for 6 weeks now would be the time to do so, not when you're ready to listen.

Any news on this Marantz SA15?  Does it still have the problem? have you fixed it???
