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

Album? Artist?

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. 

 

[Radioking59]

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?

 

[BluFalcon]

Sorry, man. No love for Sheryl.  You should contact these guys and see if they can help you out:  http://azuradisc.com/site/wefixcds/index.html
 
Good luck.

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. )

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.

I'll take Roger Waters.
