Default John Williams Cello Concerto on SACD---yuck!.

Trouble is, the music's horrible and the SACD sound is not as good as
many of my CDs, This is my first taste of SACD and I'm disappointed.
Admittedly I can only listen in stereo, but surely I should be hearing
some improvement. Anyone else got this disc?

Oh, the music. Well, it's kind of atonal, but in a sneaky kind of way,
like you wonder why it's annoying you until you realize it keeps
sliding off the note and there hasn't been a tune in the last ten
minutes. I hope Jenn has heard this music--I'd like her to explain it
to me. I usually like John Williams, but this is music only a mother
could love.


Dear Paul,

Just EQ the **** out of it. It will then sound wonderful.

I'll bet if you ask Arny how nicely, he will tell you how to make silk
out of this sow's ear.

Might I recommend this unit to you:

This unit will also improve the musical performance.

Best,

Shhhh!
