A question for those of you with the album Momentary Lapse of Reason


I recently upgraded my speakers and cables and I'm hearing something new at the end of A New Machine Part 1 and the beginning of Terminal Frost that sounds off. There is a high pitched synthesizer tone playing that starts to sound ragged or harsh or maybe I'm hearing another instrument coming from the same area as the tone, maybe a tambourine?.....anyway...I've never encountered this before, maybe it's part of having a system with higher resolution? If you have the album or CD...do you hear the same thing?

Thanks decooney. I can hear it in the last several seconds of A New Machine. It’s on the left side of the sound stage. Then again during the opening seconds of Terminal Frost. I thought it was a defect in my tweeter. But I listened on head phones and I can hear it there too. My old system wouldn’t pick it up.

Is it actually at the very beginning first 1-3 seconds of Terminal Frost, kinda sounds like a raspy whale whistle in the ocean that reverberates a little with slight overtones? i.e. sorta like slide-scraping a guitar pick down three strings of an electric guitar, etc.

If so, yes I can hear it through a few different sources. More transparent speakers, better drivers, and better crossovers, combined with more transparent cables offering less grain and passive filtering effect can help to let it shine through.
