I picked up the Dave Brubeck Take Five SACD (non hybrid on Columbia) disc this week to compare to the Redbook disc I already have.
I noticed immediately that the mix appeared much different. The left speaker content seems to be at a much lower level that the right. On the first track Blue Rondo A La Turk the cymbal that is very pronounced on Redbook is very faint on SACD. Over all the sound of the disc is great but just the faintness of the left side.
I have no problem with any other discs that I both versions of.
I would not have thought anything about it if I had not have been used to hearing it on the Redbook version.
Do any of you have this disc and does it sound like that. Is it possible for it to just be a bad disc.
