Kind of Blue SACD question?

I'm wondering if my "Kind of Blue" SACD is defective and would appreciate it if someone who knows this SACD would advise me. The issue is that I have to crank my amp, I mean really crank it, relative to every other CD/SACD that I own in order to listen to it at my preferred volume. I'll appreciate anyone sharing their experience with this SACD

Mine sounds that way too, Phaelon. Do you have the two-channel or multichannel version? Mine is the latter. Dave

Phaelon, I had that kind of problem too. It mostly went away when I switched SACD players (currently an Oppo BPD-83 SE). When I had my former player, a Sony, I was absolutely convinced that KOB and certain other SACDs were defective because their volume levels had to be cranked so much. Another that displayed this problem is the McCoy Tyner "New York Reunion" on Chesky. But with the Oppo, both it and KOB sound fine, albeit somewhat lower than average in gain. Good luck, Dave
