Spanish Harlem, by Rebecca Pidgeon, The Raven

Hi y'all,

To those familiar with Rebecca Pidgeon's album, The Raven (Chesky), track 12, Spanish Harlem, around 00:30 there is a sound like something fell (like someone dropped something to the ground) in the background. I heard this album many times in many systems (one of my refs) and in my observations, the higher the resolution of the system, the further back this 'noise' is reproduced and it is significantly less audible. Is anybody else noticing that or observing something different instead? The same song is also on track 3 of Chesky's Ultimate Demo Disc CD. (Note: this is not promoting Chesky. I have no affiliation whatsoever with Chesky records. :) I haven't even bought their CD's in years... :( )

Well, one or both of us needs to get a life! You for mentioning it and me for following up to hear what you're talking about! :-)

What I heard that was non musical in Grandma's Hands was some very low volume and low frequency thumps. May well have just been my speakers. I really didn't hear anything I could refer to as distortion. Interestingly the purpose of the cut was to illustrate "midrange purity". Perhaps that's ironic. Track 9 BTW.

I'll be waiting for a better discription of what you think you have heard as distortion..........

Newbee, yeah, I need to get a life :) unfortunately between work, house chores, wife and son, so little time left for music.
I'll listen to that track again tonight, haven't heard it in some time.

No piano player, no leg. I get a downstage and stage left "slap".
