Title: Digital mistake
Product review: I was thrilled when I saw that Piano Man was re-released on SACD. I could finally enjoy one of my favorite albums in Hi Rez with jet black backgrounds and explosive dynamic range.Wrong!!!!The album sounds like somebody threw a pillow over the microphone. The background isn't silent, it's muffled. The highs don't soar - like they should - they are dead and gone.My old 1998 Columbia version is clearly better for an audiophile. I had to check to make sure I didn't get the discs mixed up.This disc sounds just as bad through my Sennheiser HD800 headphones as my Bosendorfer speakers.On the other hand - the Animals Retrospective SACD album is a treasure if you're looking for a place to spend your money.
