David Bowie's "Heathen" SACD: glitch?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hi folks!

I have recently bought a copy of this great album in SACD, and after several listenings I seem to have found a little glitch in the mix, something like a "click".

It's on the first track ("Sunday") in the 2 channel mix, at approximately 0:57, when Bowie sings "Look for the shafts of light on the road" on the "for" word. It's rather faint but if you are not listening casually it's impossible to miss it.

I have the same album also on CD, and while I seem to hear a glitch in the same exact position... it's much less noticeable, almost imperceptible unless I pay huge attention.

If someone of you has this same SACD, would you mind checking the 2 channel mix (of course with headphones!) and tell me if you hear the same click/glitch? I am quite curious to know if it's a fault of my pressing or if it's a glitch in the mix itself...


Thank you very much!

Really no one here who owns this great album in SACD?

I checked it last night and heard no click, so it may be your disc or my age - if the click was of a particular high pitch. The former wouldn't surprise me for SACD's can be finicky things, and the laser is responsible for a lot of pits.

Thanks for the info! Mmmm... it's tough to check if a SACD has read errors: with CDs it's much easier (put them into a PC player, and rip them with EAC)...

I checked again, to try to add some more precise info in case someone else wants to spot it: actually the microscopic glitch (which sounds like a very short and faint bit of "static") is between the "look" and the "for", and it only happens in the right channel.
