It’s always with the cymbals on the very top end. On this first Frampton disc, it seems to affect only four songs. A couple don’t have cymbal crashes at all or are acoustic based.

Peter Frampton - Frampton’s Camel
Now listening to Winds Of Change-SACD-Frampton.
Looking at Peters Discography this threesome is 1,2 & 4.
Funny thing, back in the day I bought the cassette of #3 Somethin's Happening.
I wonder why IR skipped #3? They are all A&M Records.
Sonic quality of this first listen is real good, not too bright, but I just finished an MQA (Yes) listen so maybe that was bright?

I know what you mean, if music is on the brighter side it really effects my Tinnitus. I find I have to find the sweet spot on the volume otherwise my brain/ears start fighting.
Have to wear ear plugs in concerts now.
Butt plugs now too.
Although, I missed the first 3 tracks cause I was making a sandwich in the kitchen and wasn’t sitting in front of the system, Frampton’s Camel sounds great. I’ll have to replay those tracks but, so far, no brightness issue.
Good catch! I did not realize this. Last time I heard these earlier albums is when Van Halen’s 5150 came out.
Frampton Comes Alive was my first PF album, followed by I’m In You. It wasn’t until the mid eighties when I acquired the earlier albums. I never went beyond purchasing any further PF albums because I lost interest.
Halfway through Framptons Camel, still good sonic quality.
Nice to sit and listen.

Peter Frampton - Frampton
Okay! I finished all three discs. With the exception of about four songs on Wind Of Change (need to have a re-listen tomorrow), they sound great. Not being a die-hard Frampton fan, I’m asking myself, how often will I listen to these albums? Enough to keep my vinyl preorder? Me thinks that the SACD’s will be enough.
I love the WOC and FC; they are my favorite Frampton albums. Looks like I’ll have to order those two. I do have the 2000 CD’s; they also sound great but I’m betting that the SACDs sound better. Of course, my hearing was better 23 years ago; I bet that a lot of you QQers feel like I do!
BTW, the CD’s of these two from 2000 have a DR of….wait for it… 8!
If GOS had only bought two of the SACDs would the cases have been cracked???!!
Yeah, just finished the three Framptons also.
Thought Show Me The Way, really cool on Frampton.
Heard it forever on Comes Alive.
The studio version so light and funky.

DR's are as follows for the 3 Frampton SACD's.
Winds Of Change 9, 10's, 11's, 12's, 13.
Frampton's Camel 10, 11's, 12's.
Frampton 12, 13's, 14's, 15.
Winds Of Change 9, 10's, 11's, 12's, 13.
Frampton's Camel 10, 11's, 12's.
Frampton 12, 13's, 14's, 15.
It’s nice to hear the studio versions of the songs that are perfomed Live on Frampton Comes Alive but, to me, the Live versions are better.
Those are interesting numbers because for each consecutive disc played, I had to turn the volume up a couple of notches.
That would make sense then. Good that you noticed that. I don’t remember
The Rang
2K Club - QQ Super Nova
Fourplay - Fourplay
Like this much better than the Best of SACD which, despite have some obvious overlap, bored the hell out of me.
This has more spark and personality.
Other than track 1 which sounds tizzy, this disc’s sonics are very nice.
