There is a poll for this title and your comments would likely be of value there. Just a friendly suggestion.

Thanks. Just didn't want to "poison the poll" if it was a problem on my end.

You indicated that the absence of a sub woofer may have attributed to your rating of Quadrophenia but you didn't hide the fact that you don't have a sub. Plus you gave some good examples of other discs that sound great and have good bass. So while "poisoning the poll" can happen I don't see how it applies in this case.

I know; the soundtracks mentioned could of been truly sublime with a great 5.1 mix. Th dynamics are phenomenal.

I agree with wavelength...you provided real reasons for your opinion and to be candid there are some polls that have been "tainted" on here in an egregious fashion by some who don't like the SACD format...and some are people who should know better...so trust me when I say that your observations are candid and specific...and I've also heard that same complaint from others...so you are not alone in your opinion

Bon Jovi - This Left Feels Right - SACD
The Police - Every Breath You Take - SACD
Carpenters - The Singles 1969-1981 - SACD

FYI - You probably will find there are glitches on that one... A homemade "corrected" version (not perfect - but better) is out there on the Interweb...

Thanks for the info Mr.!

I was under the impression that if you rip the disc to an ISO and play the ISO that it's glitch-free, is that not the case?

It's a shame there are any problems with this disc, because the unaffected tracks are great.

IIRC - The PS3 rip exhibits the same behaviour as the official disc.

A re-authored version using DSD extracted from the ISO and re-authored using Philips SuperAuthor plays better...

Just picked up Crowded House: Crowded House, which I was anxious to get because I really like the hit, "Don't Dream It's Over." So far, I have not listened to the disc all the way through, primarily because the bass coming from the sub-woofer is so obnoxiously overpowering that it really interferes with trying to enjoy the actual music. I mean, I've got other discs that are bass heavy, but this one is ridiculous. I even tried going back to my receiver settings and really lowering the level of the sub-woofer just so I could stand playing the disc, but even after lowering the level a LOT, it is still very overpowering and distracting. I tried to track down any discussions here on the forum to see if others have had issues with this recording, by my search efforts on here typically end in frustration. Doubt this one will ever get much play, which is unfortunate because I think I would enjoy the album.

It's a strange one. I was able to create a fully playable set of Stereo & Multichannel DSD tracks at home with a PS3. Sad that you need to do that to enjoy all of the music. Those SACD authoring errors, in this case by Philips, caused some serious headaches on what is an excellent Jazz SACD release.
