The Norah Jones SACD "Come Away With Me" has one arrangement issue that shows one of the technical weaknesses of SACD. At several points on the recording, there is this "wiped cymbal" sound, where the drummer is dragging his wire drumstick (there's got to be a better name for it) on the metal cymbal. I'm sure it sounds great in person or on a phonograph, but it is all high frequency and on SACD, noise increases with frequency. For whatever technical reason, the sound of that cymbal sounds very irritating on my system.
Anyone else notice this?
