New miles davis cd.... wow


Just wondering what is wrong with my miles davis kinda blue cd. I just bought it tonight and was looking forward to some good listening. It sounds like a broken record or maybe one that is warped. Did i get a bad cd or is this thing just recorded that badly. I had to put in a Dave Grusin cd just to make sure my equipment was ok. It really sounds terrible. Lots of hissing in the background. I cant stand it. lmk asap Kevin

I have two remastered releases of Kind of Blue. One is 20 bit remaster redbook CD (CK 64935). It has a lot of tape hiss, but sounds exceptional with a lot of detail. The second is hybrid SACD (CS 64935). They removed a lot of tape hiss on this newer release. But you might notice it doesn't sound as detailed as the previous 20 bit remaster on stereo mix. However, the crown jewel of the newer SACD release is the three channel DSD mix direct from master tape. Unadulterated, and as close as it could get to the master tape.
