SACD Scratch Removal

post #1 of 10

I picked up a SACD that I plan on putting on ebay. The disc has some scratches that could affect playback.  If the CD layer plays will the SACD layer play also?  I do not have a SACD player, so there is no way to test it.

 

A local store has a Venmill repair machine, but I don't know if that is a good idea for SACD.  I've read a few reports of this ruining SACDs.


Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I don't know why it matters, but Sheryl Crow The Globe Sessions.

It matters because if it was a title I was interested in I'd offer to buy it from you.  ;)

I knew that's what you were going for. So no love for Sheryl?  How were you going to get it to play if was some super rare one you don't own?

Duck tape.

(Oh ok)

If it's only a surface scratch, you could try a buffing wheel and some liquid polishing compound.

I've taken out scratches by buffing with 0000 steel wool and polishing with Brasso. You might want to practice by scratching a CD-R and taking it out.

(And I like Sheryl. smily_headphones1.gif)

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm just going to keep it because I don't want any trouble.

I went to a record shop today 30 mins away and found Toys in the Attic, Boston S/T, Texas Flood, Roger Waters The Wall Live in Berlin, and Alice in Chains GH SACDs. All sealed.  I was thinking about giving you dibs, but I need top dollar to pay for my trip to the Pearl Jam 20th anniversary shows. Hope I get it.
